Stuggles of Being a Student of the International Variety

Almost dying every time you get on a treadmill because you forget that it’s set in MPH

Having to explain to everyone you meet why the metric system is superior

Getting confused about how the imperial system works (I mean who invented this system?)

Your favorite teacher fall term being your science teacher because they used centimeters

Yes, 95% of this list is me complaining about the imperial system

Being on a plane for half of break

Ke neng wo de ying wen bu gou hao*

Someone literally having to teach you what a sloppy joe is

“HEY, SAY SOMETHING IN (insert your native language here)”

You thought this country was raging inferno before someone told you about Fahrenheit

*Perhaps my english isn’t good enough?
