5 Emotions You Have After Your Car Gets Towed

Last week during the epic blizzard my car got towed. Yes, I never thought that this would ever happen to me. Apparently I parked my car on the corner of my neighborhood and that's not allowed during snow emergencies. It was rough, but I got through it. Looking back at it now I just laugh because I was so upset. Here are five emotions I faced after my car was towed.

Paranoia. I first ventured out of my house two days after the blizzard. As I am walking to the corner, my eyes are trying to find my navy Hyundai. I am thinking to myself "it didn't get towed did it?" My heart starts beating as I am starting to see another car parked in that same spot.

Heartbreak. Yup it happened, my car probably was towed. I feel like I just lost a child. This is my first car, so I'm really attached to it. I am freaking out and calling my dad while crying. He tells me it's going to be fine, but I'm just so stressed out.

Curiosity. Now I am thinking of ways I can get my car back. I first call the local police officer. I give him my information and my car's info. He tells me it might be stolen since none of the local towing companies have found that car yet. All of a sudden he gets a call saying they've kept it at a towing place near the city. Now I have my information, so I feel a little better.

Fear. I head over to the police station to get papers saying that I could get my car back. I'm really terrified because I've never really been to a police station before, but I guess there's a first time for everything. Apparently I'm not the only one whose car got towed and some people are super shady looking. I feel like one of them might punch me in the face. The police officer lady isn't super friendly but still hands me a paper that basically says I can get my car back.

Happiness. I now head over to the towing company with my document in hand. I pay $200 which is still not bad because everyone was telling me about how it would be at least $500. I see my cute little Hyundai Accent and hop right in. It was such a great feeling to be driving my car back to my house. All of the negative feelings just went away.

I must say this taught me a huge lesson. I will never park my car on a corner ever again. To be honest it wasn't even me. My friend parked my car for me, but I trusted her judgement because she has been driving longer than I have. Oh well, not her fault. I should've just parked it myself. Anyways I'm just glad to have my car back, and now my dad and I are listening and laughing to my crying voicemails from last week.

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.

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.
