15 Things I’d Rather Do Than Find Parking At Virginia Tech

Why they would ever get rid of parking this year is beyond me!

15 Things I’d Rather Do Than Find Parking At Virginia Tech

In This Article:

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.

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.
