30 Things I'd Rather Do Than Find Parking at UNC-Greensboro

Parking is an issue on all campuses, but this university seems to be struggling a little more than others.

Driving around in circles for an hour is not a trait I expected to be a part of college. Finding somewhere to put your car is always an inconvenience on a college campus, but UNCG seems to have an extreme amount of complaints. Nothing is more irritating for a student, especially if you are a commuter and are already late to your class.

Here are 30 things I'd rather do than park on UNC-Greensboro's campus.

1. Not pay the $200+ pass to park no where.

2. Introduce Adolf Hitler to my grandparents.

3. Move into my high-rise 8th floor dorm when the elevator is broken.

4. Eat cold Taco Bell.

5. Drive on Tate St. with one lane closed.

6. Register for a 8:00 a.m calculus class with a foreign professor.

7. Sneakily fall asleep in boring classes.

8. Blow the $200+ on outrageous amounts wings from East Coast.

9. Fight the abnormally, outgoing, squirrels on campus.

10. Punch myself in the throat.

11. Only get burnt fries for the rest of my life.

12. Sell my dog for a pebble.

13. Trade bodies with Donald Trump and walk into the Hillary Clinton rally we had on campus a couple weeks ago.

14. Use rubbing alcohol instead of contact solution.

15. Have to brush my teeth with mayonnaise for a week.

16. Break both of my texting thumbs.

17. Eat an entire lemon by itself.

18. Have to live in Cone for the rest of my life.

19. Walk up every flight of stairs in Jackson Library.

20. Walk Florida St. by yourself in the middle of the night.

21. Rub my eyes after touching jalapeños.

22. Go to Starbucks the day they announce pumpkin spice lattes are back.

23. Eat a whole basket of Mexican corn chips without cheese dip or salsa.

24. Fall off the treadmill in the gym in front of every attractive human on campus.

25. Build a house full of Ikea furniture.

26. Switch to T-Mobile with a three year contract.

27. Dive into a tank of piranhas.

28. Only wear the color magenta for a full year.

29. Have a fender bender in the middle of Battleground during rush hour and not be able to move.

30. Only be able to eat at the Caf for all four years, no where else, ever.


Obviously, this is sarcasm, but the university needs to think a little harder about building some lots or decks instead of a $5 million wellness center.

How do you raise your acceptance rates and watch the transfer and freshmen classes get bigger and bigger and expect everything to stay the same?

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.
