11 Things That Are Better Than Parking On Campus

Forever circling the parking lot praying for an open spot.

College is great. Who doesn't like making your own schedule, having an active social calendar, living with your best friends, and getting groomed for future success? College is the life. But the one issue with college, with all colleges everywhere it seems, is the lack of packing. It's like every college band together and decided to only provide 12 parking spots for thousands of students. There are a lot of activities I would choose to do rather than try and find a parking spot on a college campus.

1. Cutting my hair a single piece at a time

I would gladly individually cut everything piece of my hair before I would choose to aimlessly drive around campus looking for one spot that won't get me towed. It would probably take me less time to cut my hair honestly.

2. Being trapped in an elevator for 6 hours

I can handle a little claustrophobia but I cannot handle driving around one parking lot 600 times praying for a spot to open up.

3. Babysitting an infant who never stops crying.

The sound of a constantly crying baby isn't even half as tortuous as entering a parking garage only to realize the lot is full.

4. Listening to a heated debate about global warming but neither person has any idea what they're talking about.

I will gladly listen to two people yell incorrect facts at each other before I would drive to class.

5. Having to wear specially-equip eclipse glasses all the time

Sure you can only see shadows and incredibly bright lights with them on, but it's still better than finding parking.

6. Stubbing the same toe every day for a year straight

This quick pain is nothing compared to the pain of leaving your apartment a half hour early and still being late to class because there is NO PARKING.

7. Having your order be messed up every time you go out to eat

It's still less frustrating than looking for a parking spot of 25 minutes only to get a parking ticket in the end.

8. Cage diving without a cage

Sure it isn't secure but neither is the promise that there will be a place for us to park on campus.

9. Getting a massage from 100 bees at once

I would rather take my chance on getting stung than take my chance on finding a spot.

10. Looking like Arnold from "Hey Arnold!"

A football-shaped head sounds less inconvenient that a college's parking situation.

11. Never being allowed to pet a dog or cat again.

Parking is so bad at college campuses that I would rather give up my favorite hobby than deal with it. That's how bad parking at college campuses are.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
