17 Things UA Students Would've Rather Spent $600 On Instead Of The Parking Passes They Don't Need Anymore

A few weeks ago UA decided to make some changes to the parking regulations on campus that were slightly uncalled for. Some of these changes included having students purchase an evening parking pass to park on campus after hours. Well, after multiple questions were brought to the table by both students and parents in the University's Student Ticket Exchange Facebook group the Department of Transportation has decided to delay the changes until January 2019.

This means that for all of you students who took the time to think over whether it was worth it to get that $600 parking pass so you could park on campus both during the day and night now means nothing. Instead, you could have spent that $600 on more important things in life.

1. Chick-fil-A

Treating yourself to CFA more than once a week.

2. Starbucks

Make that a trenta please!

3. Amazon Prime Day

Sorry, what deals? I can't hear you over the dent in my bank account from my recent parking pass purchase.

4. Buffalo Phil's

Dining dollars are clutch and all but we run out of them faster than you think.

Textbooks

$100 online code for a class I'll never go to? Yep, that's fair.

6. Chipotle

Extra guac every day!!!

7. Cover at Galletes

Wine Wednesday anyone?

8. Away Game Tickets

Rather wake up at the crack of dawn and stand outside Coleman because Roll Tide!

9. Taco Mama Margs

Standing in the line out the door... what's $12 after all?

10. Cookout

Worth waiting in line for a milkshake at midnight.

11. T-shirts

Thanks JNJ for breaking my bank account every semester.

12. Concerts at the Tuscaloosa Ampitheater

Riley Green anyone?

13. Insomnia Cookies

Yeah I'll take a box of 12 cookies TO SHARE aka I will definitely be eating all of them.

14. Free delivery on Crimson2Go

Hungover Sunday delivery? Yes, plz.

15. Innisfree Irish Gold sauce

I'll take a side of messy fries as well. Thanks!

16. Seventy-five stadium dogs in Bryant Denny

Who doesn't love a good hotdog when you're cheering on the Tide.

17. A National Championship game ticket

I mean, we're not in yet, but the odds are high.


Sure, January is right around the corner but in the meantime, The Department of Transportation Office is hoping to clear up any miscommunication that students and parents have had throughout the past few weeks. They are hoping that the new changes will decrease wait time after hours and increase efficiency for everyone once the campus gets the hang of it.

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.
