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?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
