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.

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.
