Hey, Lazy People, Stop Parking In The Handicapped Parking Spots

If you don't have one of the handicap decals, then keep driving and find a new spot.

As we all know, there is a very limited number of handicapped parking spots compared to regular spots. Depending on the size of the parking lot, there is roughly two handicapped parking spots and the rest of the parking lot is normal spots.

Now, I know we all know that there are requirements to be able to park in those handicapped spots. There are some drivers that need those spots. They filled out the proper paperwork and acquired one of those decals, or have it on their license plate because they needed it.

However, you lazy people who park there to avoid a walk do not need a handicapped spot.

One morning, I watched a lady have to use a remote control to open the door to get herself into her wheelchair because she couldn't do it all by herself. This is the kind of person who needs those handicapped spots. She needs that extra room provided to be able to get out and into her wheelchair. She needs the ramp to be able to get from the parking lot onto the sidewalk.

As a college student, I know there is a struggle to find parking spots sometimes, but there is a reason these spots are specially marked.

Just this morning, I had to hike like a mile from my parking spot to my class so I understand, trust me. However, I would never even think of taking up a handicapped spot because I know that those are reserved for people that need those extra spaces and ramps. I don't need those things.

There is no reason that someone like me should be taking up a spot that I don't need. Being lazy is not a reason to park in a handicapped spot.

So, stop being lazy. Walk if you have to walk. Come back at a later time if that's what it will take for you to get a closer spot. But whatever you do, do not take a spot away from someone who really needs it because you don't want to walk. You can deal with the walk like the rest of us because there's nothing wrong with you, other than laziness.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
