Running late for class, you grab your books and hop in the car. You've got no more than 12 minutes to get to campus, grab a Kind bar, and make it to your lecture on time.
However, fate has other plans for you because there's not a single parking spot on campus.
You can either take your chances and park in the teacher's lot and hope you don't get a ticket, or you can keep circling the lot until a spot opens up, which could lead to you being late, yet again, for class.
Parking on campus is more brutal than the 50th "Hunger Games." It's every man for himself, no mercy in who you take a spot from. But at least in this game, the odds are in your favor... if you have the right moves.
Finding a parking spot right right up front feels like finding the Holy Grail.
While parking in the back of GUC feels a lot like being exiled (and the Asbury parking lot feels like it's worlds away from campus).
Parking in the "20 minute loading zone" because you’re running late for your 8 a.m.
Making it to your car just as they're walking up the row to start ticketing.
Seeing a parking spot across the way, only to find out that it's a handicap spot.
Driving to Blackwell and being stopped at the info center, only to be asked where you're going.
Of course you're just "picking up a friend." Surely you're not about to study in the library for the next three hours...
Glaring at the person who is literally following you back to your car so they can hop in your spot.
Stepping out of your car and hearing someone say "I don't think you're allowed to park there."
If you’re not blessed with a parking pass, begging your roommate to give you a ride.
You may owe her some Chipotle later, but you don't want to spend the next 15 minutes sweating your way to class.
Feeling like you're from "Fast and Furious" when you're able to snatch the last spot in the lot.
You've got the moves.
The look you give someone who pulled the "Fast and Furious" move on you.
Because it's only cool when you do it.
Finding someone who is walking up to their car and is offering you their spot.
Moments like this restore faith in humanity.
