The Twelve Stages of Parking at Stonehill

I Never Want to Move My Car

The Twelve Stages of Parking at Stonehill

One would think that finding a place to park at a small college campus where many students don't bring their cars to school would be relatively easy. However, this semester there are way too many cars and way too few places to park them. But don't worry, if you can't find somewhere to park you can at least find plenty of seating outside of Duffy.

1. You wake up in the morning and are inundated with emails about where you can't park your car.

2. You and your friends want to go to Target but no one wants to move their car and lose their spot.

3. You volunteer as the one to drive and hope that there's a spot in Boland when you come back.

4. You walk to your car and see other cars racing to get your spot.

5. You immediately regret giving up your spot.

6. As you drive away you wonder why freshmen are even allowed to have cars.

7. You come back and circle around and around... and around the Boland lot until you give up hope and drive to lot 17.

8. You're then reminded of the fact that for some reason, we've started a solar panel project and blocked off random spots all over the parking lot.

9. After driving around all the gates and equipment, you're left with two options...get creative and make your own spot or park all the way in the Sem fields.

10. You drive to the Sem and park your car and make the long trek back to your dorm.

11. The next morning you find a ticket on your windshield...for parking...where they told us to park...

12. You furiously drive to move your car and get a spot in Boland and swear you're never moving your car again.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
