Okay commuters, you guys know how it goes. Wake up, get ready, get your coffee in hand and start the drive to school. All is going well, radio is playing your favorite songs, coffee is just the way you like it and then bam! No parking. For those who share the struggle all week of not being able to find parking, and trying to find little ways to "make their own spots," this is for you guys! Commuters unite! Hey, maybe they'll even make us some more spots!

1. The feeling of complete dread you have when you turn into your favorite lot and see there are absolutely no spots left for you


2. When you go into a lot and see about 15 spots coned off…yeah, you’re not parking legally today at all

3. You’ve been forced to leave your car parked as ridiculously as possible and then have to come back after class to move it before you get a ticket


4. The term “popping the tag” doesn’t only refer to clothing stores

5. You have that one convenient lot that you always like to park in…but apparently so does everyone else because there is never any spots left

6. You know when classes start and begin so you can plan accordingly to meet up with the black Camry that always leave the 5th spot on the right hand side in lot J and take that spot before anybody else can

7. You know the best time to arrive on campus is about 3 hours before class starts so you can find a spot, in other words, about 7 a.m. Heck, just sleep there.

8. Your car is basically your second home because it houses all your books, chargers, clothes, food and maybe even a small animal that you have no idea where he came from - but he’s cute, so he stays

9. You’ve learned the one- way parking lots so well that when you see incoming freshman driving the wrong way and taking your spot, you can’t help but give them looks

10. You’ve learned to drive and scan for spots all over the whole parking lot without hitting anything or anybody for that matter

11. You’re quick to leave a spot when your classes are done because, you too, know the struggle of not being able to find parking for 20 minutes

12. You’ve contemplated finding a way to get a handicap pass so you can find a spot - sorry not sorry

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
