Virginia Tech has gotten rid of parking this year and it has cost me over $100 to get a special parking pass to park in a place so that I'm actually close to my classes. You know, the actual reason why everyone buys a parking pass in the first place. So, here are 15 things I would rather be doing than trying to find that one parking spot that has somehow been left on campus.
Wait in line at Turner
I'd rather wait in the Qdoba line at Turner at prime time.
Get 300 parking tickets
Getting a ticket for parking in the only spot left is way more convenient than actually looking for the area that you're allowed to park with you $$$ parking pass.
Take the bus AKA Sardine Can
I'd rather have to be told to take backpacks off and move to the back on a hot August day.
Crack my iPhone screen
I'd rather have to pay $200 to get it fixed because hey, still cheaper than buying a parking pass.
Wait in line at the DMV
At least I would know that I would, eventually, get things done rather than not be able to find a place to park.
Have to take 8am's for my entire college career.
Definitely would rather wake up at the crack of dawn than fight for parking.
Have a 7:45 a.m. Final Exam
Every day for the two weeks of finals
Wait in traffic on I-81
Yes, I'm talking about game day stand-still traffic.
Live in an overcrowded dorm room
That dorm room could be a study lounge turned into a four-person dorm room, either way, better than looking for a spot to park on campus.
Get 390 canvas notifications per day
They could all be about new assignments; I honestly would not care.
Never win football student lottery tickets
With me being a girl who loves football, finding parking would still be 100x worse.
Run out of Dining money
and have two months of the semester left and miss every day of chicken parm
See my ex every day on campus
whether it's in dining halls or classrooms, I'd rather see him every single day.
Live without AC, Again
Time to go buy 10 box fans which is still an easier fix than having to drive around campus searching for a parking spot.
Get ghosted once a month...
... by every guy on tinder.
