In This Article:

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.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
