Packing Checklist Words by Taylor Satoski | tsatoski@iu.edu Graphic by Madelyn Powers | powersma@iu.edu Moving away from home is already stressful enough, but having all of your necessary items packed will ease some of your anxieties. Dorm life is not high class. But what you bring into that 10-by-10 foot room will make your first year on campus bearable, and maybe even fun. Whether you have a roommate to

share in first year festivities or you’ll be going solo in your study room, this list will help you prepare for your first year without a kitchen or a living room. I must stress, snacks are essential. I know this seems daunting. Hopefully, this compiled list will stop you from frantically searching for multiple

lists online. To put your mind at ease, the university bookstore carries school supplies and a CVS is right down Kirkwood Avenue. Being on your own may be liberating or terrifying, but having these essentials will keep you organized and ready for your first semester.

Tips from IU’s international students By Phyllis Cha cha1@iu.edu | @phyllischa

Angela Lee, an international student from Santiago, Chile, said the events hosted by the International Welcome Week Team exposed her to American culture and reminded her she was not alone. Lee said she had prepared for her transition to the United States, but it was still terrifying. She said incoming freshmen should come to IU with an open mind, be ready to explore and to ask questions. “It is hard to be an international student, sometimes you will feel homesick, you will not understand some words, you may have difficulties navigating the new environment, understanding American humor or getting used to the food around, but at the end of the day, it is an amazing and rewarding experience,” Lee said. It’s an opportunity to grow as a person and a stepping stone into the future, she said. Lee is now part of the International Welcome Week Team because she wanted to be a fa-

miliar face to say hello to other international students around campus. Lee said she spent all of her time in her dorm room talking to her friends at home during her first few days in Bloomington, she said, which made her homesickness worse. She realized the best way for her to overcome homesickness was to go outside and push herself past her comfort zone. “Once you realize that everyone is going through the same process it would be easier to connect with other students,” she said. Lee said one thing she wished she knew before coming to IU was that there are many things to do off-campus, such as food, shops and places to hike. Students may have to step outside of their comfort zone to learn about the resources and opportunities that are available to them, Katie Goodread, IU coordinator for International Orientation and Outreach, said. Checking your email is one of the best ways to learn about campus resources and keep up

to date, Goodread said. Exploring Bloomington through events like the Lotus World Music and Arts Festival or places like Griffy Lake and the Comedy Attic is also a good way to connect with the community, she said. Fourth Street has many international restaurants, some of which offer halal and vegetarian options, she said. Food delivery apps, such as RICEPO, Door Dash and Btown Menus give those without cars more access to restaurants in Bloomington. International grocery stores can be a more affordable way for students to get a taste of home, Goodread said. These include 4th Street International Market, World Foods Market, B-Town International Market, Apna Bazaar International Market, Rong Cheng Supermarket and Little Italy Market. Adlin Iskandar said she wished she knew how to navigate the resources on campus, such as which office or department to contact about a bursar bill, whether she had to pay to use the bus or the Student Rec-

reational Sports Center or what the procedure to get a medical check up is. Orientation week and current students helped Iskandar answer a lot of these questions, she said. Iskandar also said she wished she knew that there were Asian markets here and that her diet didn’t have to completely change in the United States. Being involved with the IU Malaysian Student Association helped Iskandar get over her homesickness, and the group felt like a big family, she said. They had monthly gatherings and were involved in events hosted by the Office of International Services. The transition can be difficult, but international students don’t have to sacrifice any essential part of who they are, Iskandar said. “Sometimes during the journey, you might feel lonely, confused and frustrated in this new environment,” Iskandar said. “However, know that you bring your own unique perspective to any spaces that you are in.”

6 things to think about before you adopt a pet

MEREDITH HEMPHILL | IDS

A black cat is seen Oct. 8, 2021, at the Bloomington Animal Shelter. Despite the myth that black cats struggle to find homes, black cats do as well getting adopted as the rest, according to Bloomington Animal Shelter data since 2017. By Luke Christopher Norton lcnorton@iu.edu | @ByLCNorton

So, you’d like to adopt a pet? Bloomington’s Animal Shelter, which is experiencing overflow, could certainly do with additional room. However, before you do so, there are some things you should consider and know before you sign up to adopt your new little friend. Are you ﬁscally ready for this? Ask other pet owners online

how much their pet costs them per month for things such as food and litter. Factor that into your own monthly spending to see if you can comfortably make it work. You should also have some form of emergency fund built up for any unexpected expenses. Are you ready to put in the time and effort? You can’t just say goodbye to your pet when you leave and hello when you come home— you need to put in time and

effort to make sure your pet is comfortable in their new home. Kittens and puppies are just like newborn babies—they need time before they can be truly independent. Are you ready to prepare your home for your new pet? Pets damage furniture, carpet and other things in households. This is simple fact. You can train them out of it, but that requires time and patience (see above). Your couch may be scratched, your carpet may become an ac-

cident zone and your countertops will be seen as a hunting ground. You must plan around all of this. Choose a pet that suits your needs. When choosing a pet, make sure you go with one that you’ll have a comfortable relationship with. If you’re seldom at home, maybe avoid a pet with separation anxiety issues. If you’re a homebody who wants to cuddle with your new friend, choose one that’s social in the shelter.

Know how the shelter works. Some of the pets in the shelter have already been marked for adoption. This will decrease the opportunities you’ll have to find a pet that matches you. You absolutely should not just adopt the first pet you see. Spend some time with them

and make sure there’s a connection there. Communicate with your roommates. If you have roommates, make sure they’re also OK and ready to accept a newcomer in the home. You need to have open conversations with those you live with to determine if adoption is an acceptable course of action for everyone involved. It’s everyone’s home after all, and a new addition is a big commitment.

Facing the roommate challenge By Shari Rowe

shaarowe@iu.edu | @ShariARowe

Moving to college has many challenging aspects, one of these being adapting to a roommate. It is especially challenging when you are randomly matched with a person you do not know. Even if you are with a friend, it is likely that you have not lived together before. There may be new habits that you did not previously know about, so it is important to try and talk about them before moving in. Remember that you probably have habits that could be considered strange as well. When you are randomly matched, it is good to reach out to your roommate before movein. In the housing portal, you

receive the contact information of the roommate you have been assigned to. Whether you are with a friend or a stranger, set up a roommate

agreement at the beginning of term. Set boundaries and agree on the specifics of your relationship and what you expect of each other.

Rules about food and how space is to be allotted are especially important. Make sure you have a plan for how chores like dishes and taking out the trash will be done. It is best to establish these things early so there is less chance of any arguments later. Remember that if you truly can not get along with your roommate, you can request a change. This is done by filling out a room change request form. Keep in mind that room changes are done based on availability of space and willingness of others to move. Since this is not a guaranteed option, it is necessary to try and get along with your roommate. It is possible that a friend for life may be made.

What I wish I had known before moving By Caroline Geib cegeib@iu.edu | @carolineegeib

Moving into your first college dorm is a big step for anyone, especially if you are moving far away from home. There is a lot to know, and a lot I wish someone would have told me. Luckily, I have already started a large list of advice for my younger friends and family when their time comes. I am excited to share some of my most important points with you. My three favorite items in my room are my fan, my essential oil diffuser and my air purifier. My fan is essential because the AC does not always work well in my McNutt Quadrangle dorm room. I would recommend investing in one nice fan, rather

than buying many tiny, cheap fans like I did. I could have saved a lot of money and a lot of time researching and investing in one good fan before moving in. My essential oil diffuser makes my room feel homier, and gets rid of the weird smells of the hall. Candles are not allowed in dorms, yet if essential oils are too strong of a scent for you, Yankee Candle sells liquid for an essential oil diffuser that mimics their most popular candle scents. Finally, my air purifier helps save me from sickness. A lot of people get sick during their first semester of college, so having my air purifier makes my room feel safer and makes me feel healthier. Along with that, I feel as if

taking as many storage units and organizers as possible can be extremely beneficial if you like a clean room. My storage ottoman and the storage tubs on top of my armoire are my best friends. I can keep my first aid kit, extra shoes, my duffle bag and sanitary products such as extra bottles of shampoo and conditioner in them. Not only do these products save space, but they can hide all of your mess. Moving into your first dorm can be scary, but we have all gone through dorm living. I promise, community living is not as scary as it sounds.

Decorate your dorm on a budget IDS FILE PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY SAM HOUSE

A succulent plant named Spud and a small clay gnome rest on a kitchen island. Succulents are common choices for dorm rooms because they don't require much water. By Alexa Becker-Markﬁeld beckerac@iu.edu

You were accepted into college, found a roommate and now you need to discuss decorating your dorm room. Decorating your dorm room on a budget can sound intimidating, but it does not have to be. There is no requirement of when you can start a budget, and it is never too late to start saving money. Setting a budget for your dorm room decor can help you stay organized and

watch your spending. Here are five tips on how to decorate your dorm on a budget. Get organized Start by making a physical list of items that you are interested in purchasing. This can be an Excel spreadsheet, a written down list or a new note in your phone. Rank the items according to needs versus wants, prioritizing the need items first. A needed item can be bedding, or stor-

age for your clothes and shelves whereas a wanted item can be a rug or wall prints.

Set your budget Budgeting allows you and your roommate to create a spending plan on things you want and need. Following this plan will ensure you do not spend more than you can afford. If you are living with a roommate, discuss splitting the costs of expensive items if the items can be shared. Decide on an agreed amount

and split the costs evenly if possible. Discuss who will be taking specific decorations home at the end of the year. This can prevent future arguments over costs and ownership.

Use social media After making the list of items you want to purchase it is time to research online. Use key phrases related to the product you are interested in buying and add additional words like “sale,” “cheap decor” or “discount.”

FALL 2021 HOUSING & LIVING GUIDE

Pinterest is an excellent resource for DIYs, infographics and links to cheap products. Finally, if you are looking for storage, small furniture or decorations, Facebook Marketplace is an excellent resource that can be filtered to your area. You can buy and sell used items locally and you can directly message with the seller to negotiate. Look for coupons, student discounts and promotions As a college student you will have access to student discounts from brands — utilize them! Popular brands like Bed, Bath and Beyond and Amazon offer promotions during the back-to-school season, as well as student discounts. Bed, Bath and Beyond offers the College Savings Pass which allows students 20% off

their entire purchase up until mid September. Amazon offers Amazon Prime Student which gives students access to prime shipping. As a student, you get a free six month trial, and after that you can pay $59 per year or $6.49 per month. You can use these discounts to purchase decor and storage, and have it delivered within two days. Both of these retailers will run sales and promotions at the start of the school year. CLAIRE LIVINGSTON | IDS

DIY and Thrifting Do-it-Yourself projects are a way to gain creative control and reduce your spending. If you are looking at something that is not in your budget and you can make it for yourself for less — do it. YouTube has DIY videos that can show you how to make a project at home. Popular DIY You-

A frame filled with pressed flowers sits on a window sill in Campus Walk Plantation South Apartments. Students can make things such as this to decorate their dorm or apartment in creative ways.

tube channels include TheSorryGirls and Lone Fox. Additionally, you can go to your local thrift store and check out the home decor section. If you are particularly interested in wall decor and furniture this is a great option to buy cheap and restore for less.

Common ideas that I have seen on the internet include restoring old picture frames, vintage poufs, baskets, lamps and mirrors. Checkout joyful Derivatives blog if you are looking for how to thrift shop for home decor.

‘This is a new time for everyone’ Students react to busier campus By Cameron Garber & Wei Wang news@idsnews.com

IU reinstated mostly in-person classes for the first time in over a year for the fall 2021 semester. Many of the returning students haven’t had class on-campus since the spring 2020 semester and are working through the transition. Roughly 65% of IU’s classes are fully in person, according to the iGPS website. Freshman Diego Merino said although online classes are easier, taking classes in person this semester will boost his academic performance. “Just today, you know, I walk into my math class, and I’m sitting there dialed in and taking notes and everything, and I think I got the most of the lesson,” he said. “Which if it was on

Zoom I think I would get halfway there.” Senior Cole Stoia said he spent a lot of time on campus last year because three of his classes were in person. He said he was glad to see a livelier and more populated campus compared to last year. “It’s good to see people moving about and seeing a busy campus,” Stoia said. “I missed campus last year. It felt like it was only me and a hundred other people, but now it feels like Bloomington.” For sophomore James Kraus, the switch from online to in-person classes has been intimidating but also heartwarming. He said seeing so many people on campus felt like an entirely different school from last year. Kraus said it was difficult to meet people last year, as com-

mon areas in dorms were closed off and classes were confined to computer screens. “Last year was completely online for me, and I definitely didn’t like it as much because it was very isolated,” Kraus said. “I like that you can actually meet people and make a connection that’s a lot more in-depth than on a Canvas course.” Freshman Nishika Hegde said she finds the mask requirement a little jarring after spending most of her final year in high school at home, but she said she has found ways to cope with the stressors of freshman year and COVID-19 complications. “It’s a little overwhelming, but I’ve met a lot of really nice people who have made the transition easier,” Hegde said. Although she disliked not being able to interact with her

classmates in person, senior Sela Dieden said she felt teachers were more understanding when students missed class or turned in assignments late. She said she thinks teachers should learn from the past year and implement strategies to better their relationships with students. “They were more flexible last year, which was really nice,” Dieden said. “It felt like they cared about us and we were understood.” Junior Joseph Pickett said he was surprised by how shocking the difference was seeing crowds of people walking through campus and said he felt for people struggling with the transition. “Be graceful,” Pickett said. “This is a new time for everyone.”

Keeping Covid in Mind MALLOREY DAUNHAUER | IDS

Students exit the W bus Sept. 8, 2021, outside of the IU Auditorium. Besides wearing a mask, washing our hands with soap and water is the most effective way to prevent the spread of germs. By Margaret Thuesen mthuesen@iu.edu

COVID-19 cases are relatively low in the U.S. and IU has a 90.8% vaccination rate. With that being said, the cases have risen slightly overall in the U.S. and could rise even more in the coming weeks. It is still extremely important to keep up safety procedures. A few things we can all do to stop the spread of COVID-19 are wearing masks, washing hands

and wiping down surfaces. The Delta variant is even better than the Alpha variant at traveling through aerosol particles that linger for a long time. The number one thing we can all do to stop the spread of COVID-19 is to wear masks indoors and especially in crowded areas. It is especially important to wear masks in crowded classrooms. Washing hands not only protects us from COVID-19 but also from the flu, common

colds and stomach viruses. Washing hands with soap and water is the most effective way to get rid of germs, but anything is helpful. For example, keeping hand sanitizer in your backpack is a good idea. The third major thing we can do is wipe down surfaces. Our phones and Crimson Cards are two things that regularly come into contact with many germs. To reduce the spread of these germs we can, for example,

wipe them down with rubbing alcohol. There are still around 70 million unvaccinated people in the U.S. The virus could easily spread in large gatherings of people without masks. We have concrete ways to directly contribute to a safer environment for everyone. Along with keeping up with these practices, IU students and staff can continue to check their eligibility for the booster shot at iuhealth.org

Snack on that

Snacks are vital when you’re really having to focus and grind for an assignment or test. Here are some recommendations from the IDS Staff for the perfect ones. Words by Alex Hardgrave | ahardgra@iu.edu Illustrations by Madelyn Powers | powersma@iu.edu

Dry cereal “ Especially ones with marshmallows like Lucky Charms. It’s sweet, ﬁlling and can give you a boost of energy from the sugar. ” Alex Hardgrave, senior Arts reporter

Cold Brew Coffee

“ When you mix whatever foam, ﬂavor or milk you have in it, the drink tastes super good and helps you wake up. Bloomington also has a ton of walkable (from the newsroom at least) coffee shops so you can always take a little study break, grab a snack and then boom, you go back and ﬁnish your work. I just also really love coffee ” Welch’s Fruit n’ Yogurt snacks “ They’re light, tasty and easy to grab on the go to my study destination. ”

Haley Ryan, sophomore Tik Tok producer

Lauren McLaughlin, junior Arts reporter

Jalapeño chips “ They’re a good snack but also aren’t a comfort food so they don’t lull me into going to sleep. ” Joey Bowling, senior Digital editor

Chilled Nutella “ Hear me out, I love to put a little bowl and chill it in the freezer for 10-15 minutes. Easy to get in most C stores and also pretty much every major grocery store. ” Izzy Myszak, junior Arbutus editor

FALL 2021 HOUSING & LIVING GUIDE

Popcorn “ I like the Kroger-brand movie theater butter popcorn from Kroger. Very buttery and yummy. Great when it’s warm right from the microwave. ”

Pretzel Goldﬁsh

Sara Kress, senior Director of internal development

“ There is nothing that says,‘focus’ like having to get up every ﬁve minutes because of how salty pretzels can be. ”

Apple slices with peanut butter

David Wolfe Bender, sophomore News editor

“ I love this snack because it’s healthy, ﬁlling and tasty, which I think is important when studying. You want to feel full, but not too full, and this does exactly that. ”

Spoon of peanut butter

Ellie Albin, sophomore Arts editor

“ I know this may be a bit strange, but I feel like it’s the perfect snack. You can get peanut butter literally anywhere, you get some protein out of it and the texture of crunchy PB is so good. ” Sami Sharﬁn, senior Arts reporter

5 restaurants students should check out By Jay Upshaw jnupshaw@iu.edu

The Runcible Spoon The Runcible Spoon is located on 412 E. 6th Street. It was opened in 1976 by the owner, Jeff Danielson and in 2001, Matthew O’Neill and Regen O’Neill took ownership of the cafe. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, including vegan selections. One special fact about this place is that its name is inspired by a children’s story, and that story inspired the restaurant’s choice in decor.

IDS FILE PHOTO BY SAM HOUSE

Runcible Spoon is located at 412 E. Sixth St. The restaurant’s name comes from a line in Edward Lear’s poem “The Owl and the Pussy-Cat.”

Osteria Rago Osteria Rago is located on 419 E. Kirkwood Ave. It was opened in 1927 by Gregg Rago and Susan Bright. It mainly serves Italian food, but it also offers American cuisine.

Working out at home

MALLOREY DAUNHAUER | IDS

A student uses dumbbells to do a strength workout Feb. 6, 2021 in her apartment. By Gino Diminich gdiminic@iu.edu

Whatever the reason, it’s perfectly normal to not want to go to the gym. Some days you just can’t find the time or the motivation, or maybe you just don’t enjoy the atmosphere and smell of sweat mixed with sanitizing spray. But just because you aren’t in the gym doesn’t mean you can’t get a good workout in. There are many ways to get your heart rate up and get those muscles working without having to set foot in the SRSC. When gyms were closed during the early COVID-19 pandemic, people all over social media were posting and sharing different home workouts that could be done within

the safety of one's own home. What makes these home workouts fantastic is that they require almost no equipment and only call for enough space for you to be able to lay down. For starters, yoga is a terrific exercise that can increase strength and flexibility without even having to even leave your bedroom. To do yoga at home all you really need is a yoga mat — which can be found on Amazon for as low as $17 — or any soft surface to sit on and a laptop or phone to follow an instructor to. There are many free videos online that can guide beginners or experienced yoga enthusiasts through any given exercise, ensuring you can follow along and have a great time.

For those looking for something a little more muscle grinding, bodyweight exercises are a fantastic way to build strength and really target the muscles in the body. For those unfamiliar, a bodyweight exercise is an exercise like a pushup where the workout comes from working against your own weight. As with yoga, this doesn’t require much space at all, although you may want to do any jumping exercises away from anything fragile. These exercises can be done through free online articles or videos. But what about cardio, I hear you ask. Well, ask no more because running outside is one of the greatest pleasures on this Earth. The beauty of running out-

doors compared to a treadmill is that you can control the pace without having to adjust those pesky buttons on the treadmill. You also get a chance to breathe in some fresh air and just clear your head in the beautiful outdoors. If you’re not into running, consider going on bike rides or even skipping rope. It’s not just for schoolchildren. In fact, it’s a great hardhitting exercise that can be done quickly while still being very effective. The more workouts you try, the more you’ll learn what you enjoy and what your body responds to the best, but remember to give yourself that day off now and then because a healthy mind is essential to maintaining a healthy body.

Places to work out in Bloomington

MORE THAN JUST A PLACE... A PLACE TO CALL HOME! IDS FILE PHOTO BY ALEX DERYN

Running shoes and a gym bag sit on the floor May 17, 2019 in University East Apartments. Students can stay healthy on campus by going on runs and keeping their workout gear on hand in a gym bag. By Henry Holloway hbhollow@iu.edu

As the weather becomes increasingly colder as we enter the winter, many IU students may be looking for a place to work out this winter. Bloomington itself is host to many fitness centers that may fulfill your needs. Here is a list of a few: Orangetheory Fitness Orangetheory has two locations, one at 2894 E Third St., and one at 210 E. Kirkwood Ave. Orangetheory Fitness is a chain fitness center which offers classes from fitness coaches to guide you through workouts in which you go through all five heart-rate zones, which consist of resting, easy, challenging, uncomfortable and all out. The company’s website states the workouts consist of rowing, cardio and strength training in what is known as a heart-rate based, HIIT workout. The com-

pany’s name alludes directly to the notion that the goal of such a workout is to spend 12 minutes or more in the uncomfortable zone, which is the orange zone, which serves to boost your metabolism, burn fat and burn calories. It offers three different packages, one being the Orange Basic, which offers four classes a month, another being the Orange Elite, which offers eight classes a month and the other, Orange Premier, which offers unlimited classes. There is even a quit-free guarantee that permits first time members with the Orange Premier membership to quit after 12 classes if they are unsatisfied. CrossFit Bloomington Located at 1850 S. Walnut St., CrossFit Bloomington provides classes to accommodate all levels. Providing semi-personal training, CrossFit classes are led by certified instructors who guide participants through guided mobility, dynamic work up, skill

work, strength training, workout and cool down. It also includes programs for kids and teens, as well as specialized personal training to meet individual goals. Iron Pit Gym Iron Pit Gym is located at 5006 S. Rogers St. The gym serves members with core training, flexibility training and weight training. It also provides group fitness classes, physical therapy, a sauna and a weight room. IU Student Recreational Sports Center IU SRSC offers group exercise classes as part of student activity fees, offering cycling classes, yoga, barre fitness, cardio hip hop, HIIT, Zumba, cardio kickboxing and others. All students need to participate is a signed semester waiver and their student IDs. It also offers at home exercises on demand and live Zoom sessions as well.

Housing tour checklist By Izzy Myszak imyszak@iu.edu | @IzzyMyszak

Finding a place to live can be challenging and daunting. Going on a tour with a property manager or real estate agent is the most effective way to help you decide which option is right for you. Take this checklist with you as a helpful reminder before signing a lease.

Are pets allowed and what is the policy? How long does the lease last? What is the subletting policy? What is the maintenance policy? What are my options for parking? What is the guest policy? Is it an individual or shared lease? Are appliances included? If so, which ones? Is there someone I can contact 24/7 with major issues? What is the maintenance policy? Which utilities are included with rent? If any are, how old are they?

What you need to know when subleasing By Kara Acinapuro kacinapu@iu.edu

Of all of the confusing things that exist in your lease, subletting is just another thing that you may have read over not knowing what it is. Though it may seem stressful, subletting can be super helpful because it allows people with vacant apartments to re-rent the space out and not waste their money. Whether you’re going abroad, graduating early or just have had a change of plans, you may be able to sublease your apartment or become a subletter of someone else’s apartment. It can feel overwhelming trying to figure these things out but, from someone who has gone through the process before, you can get through it! So how can you sublet your own place? It’s important to first and foremost communicate with your landlord or check your lease to make sure subletting is permitted. Once you confirm it’s allowed, you’re

ready for the journey to find the perfect subletter. A helpful place to post looking for your subletter is your IU class group chat on Facebook. You can even post in other classes’ Facebook group chats or community group chats, if you’re open to having a sublet-

ter that’s in a different grade or doesn’t go to IU. The ideal subletter should be able to commit to the sublease, be approved by your landlord and mesh well with you and any roommates you may be leaving behind. If you’re looking for your

own room to rent as a subletter, you should monitor the IU Facebook group chat for your class, other classes or the community. It can also be beneficial to ask around and see if anyone you know happens to be looking for a subletter. Whether you’re subletting or you’re a subletter, don’t lose hope if no one answers your post at first or if you feel like you can’t find a place. Sometimes, things fall through at the last minute of the semester and people scramble to find a place and yours is just what they’re looking for! Remember, if you’re subletting, make an effort to allow the subletter to see the place before signing the lease. If you’re a subletter, make sure you ask questions about anything confusing before you sign the lease! If you feel overwhelmed with the process of subletting or signing a lease, IU’s Student Legal Services offers scheduled appointments where they can help you understand your lease, resolve disputes with your landlord and more.
