The first two weeks of fall semester are behind us. We've gotten settled into our classes, and felt out the vibes of our professors. There's still one thing that we haven't gotten used to, and we never will. That my friends is campus parking.
We've all heard the cliche "a needle in a haystack." That's exactly what campus parking is. Except, let's say there was never a needle to put in the haystack. And there are forty-six other people looking for the needle that was never there. You also have to find this nonexistent needle within the 10 minutes you have until class starts. All or a fee of a hundred dollars or more. Don't forget the thirty dollar fee for not choosing to park in the appropriate spot. That's campus parking logic.
A lot might say, "leave for class earlier." But we shouldn't have to. Why should we invest our money in buying a parking pass, to wake up earlier to find a spot? Shouldn't we be able to leave for class at a reasonable time and also find a spot for our cars?
Campus parking is the "Hunger Games" of cars. You either find a spot, or you will be eliminated. Resulting in being tardy for class and missing those clicker points.
Please, USF, invest in a parking garage before investing in this 200 million dollar football stadium. I'm not speaking for myself when I say that we need more places to park. We are all tired of being late to class and being potentially hit by other cars just to pull into another spot.
