UAB Parking: My Thoughts While Looking For A Parking Spot
Urban Matter

If you're like me, then you hate driving to school because you hate the idea of having to find a parking spot. If you go to UAB like me, then you know the struggle of having to find a parking spot. This is my first year commuting to school and I have to say that parking has to be one the most frustrating, aggravating, and annoying things I have ever experienced. So, in light of all my struggles to find parking this semester, here are my thoughts while looking for parking:

1. Maybe today will be my lucky day.

2. "Deck full" light is on? I don't care.

3. Oh look, so many cars coming down the deck.

4. You guys didn't find parking, but I will.

5. I FOUND ONE...

6. CURSE YOU SMART CAR!

7. UGH. Stupid small cars.

8. Seriously?! Can you guys move any slower through this deck?

9. "Excuse me, are you leaving?"

10. OH MY GOD, their car is on, they must be leaving!

11. **waits five minutes** SERIOUSLY? Who just sits in their car??

12. I see someone walking to their car.

13. No, I'm not stalking you, I just want your parking spot.

14. "Sorry, I'm not leaving." CURSE YOU

15. HOW DID YOU FIND A SPOT?

16. I've been circling for twenty minutes, how dare you find a spot before me!

17. Maybe I should check the other lots.

18. UGH, but I don't wanna walk that far.

19. OH OH OH, SOMEONE ELSE IS WALKING TO THEIR CAR.

20. ***slowly follows person walking to their car***

21. Do you think you could move any slower out of that parking spot?

22. I bet the cars behind me are jealous I found a spot.

23. I FINALLY HAVE A PARKING SPOT!!!!

24. Oh crap, I only have three minutes to get to class.

25. ***walks with pride out of deck and watches cars leave because they couldn't find parking***

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
