We all remember our freshman year of college. Bright eyed and bushy tailed, walking and running everywhere on campus, keeping our weight in check, having everything we need less than a mile away from us. Then lease season hit. We were even more excited to sign contracts, find roommates and finally have our own apartments.However, what comes along with having an apartment is the commuter parking pass. This pass on your car means you will face first world problems every day or your life. Being a commuter makes you the worst version of yourself and here's why.
1. You spend more money. Not only do you need to fill your car more often, but you go to the grocery store probably 3-4 times a week because you don't eat on campus anymore.
2. Mornings become a hassle. 8 a.m. classes don't stand a chance when you have to commute. In the dorms, you could roll out of bed and get there in 10 minutes, but commuting you have to grab everything you'll need that day, drive, park, and walk 20 minutes to see civilization.
3. You're late. Your sorority chapter meeting starts at 6? So does every other Greek affiliate. So every sorority and fraternity members that is a commuter gets to campus at the same time, and it is WWIII.
4. You give away your pride for a parking space. You become a creep. You see someone with keys and you follow them to their car to ensure your spot when the lot is crowded. Sometimes you resort to rolling down your window and asking for their spot. Some ask if they want a ride to their car. No. Stop being creepy.
5. You're so lazy. You would rather be hungry than park in the commuter lot and walk to the union or your Greek house. You sit in your car until the clock strikes five to avoid a ticket (that you'll forget to pay). You beg your friends for rides from one end of campus to another. Rainy days? That means class is canceled for you.
