10 Things Every Ohio University Student Understands About Campus Parking
@ohio.university

Every school has struggles that its students know all too well. One of the biggest at Ohio University (if not the biggest) is the parking. No matter how much you think you can get around it, there is no easy way to deal with it. So, why not make humor from the pain? Here are 10 things we all think about when parking on campus:

1. Getting there way too early and still being late to class because of parking

Internally crying

There's nothing like leaving your house an hour early knowing you're going to end up circling around the parking lot 20 times before someone leaves so you can take their spot.

2. Literally hiking to class because the location of the parking lot is nowhere near your class

The worst thing about the warm weather: SO MUCH SWEAT.

3. The parking pass is way too expensive

No money

We already pay tons of tuition, what more do you want from me?

4. Always complaining there's never enough parking on campus

Why don't you build more parking lots! You have the money!

5. Feeling lucky if your apartment complex offers a shuttle to campus


The Summit, University Courtyard, and University Commons is where it's at.

6. Annoyed when campus events dictate when and where you can park

But why?

Those darn football and basketball games.

7. Panicking over the parking-ticket-lady right when your meter runs out of time

I am still a victim of this tragedy.

8. Being so over campus parking that you'll accept that $30 ticket

Victim or not, I'm over it.

9. Feeling blessed when you find out Parking Services gives you a freebie for your first ticket

Bless you

Bless you, but also...no.

10. Thinking of parking at Ohio University in general

Thief of joy

*smirk of disgust*

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.
