Most college universities require students to have a decal for their vehicles while parking on campus. Not only do they make this a requirement but they make these decals at least a 100$ and over. However even though we buy these decals, we still all somehow manage to get tickets. These are some of the reasons why everyone hates parking services...

1. You pay thousands of dollars towards a university for them not only to make you buy a decal to park on campus but on top of it all, they tell you where you have to park or you’ll be ticketed.

2. They don’t make enough parking in these zones and ticket you if you’re not in the correct zone.

3. You pay thousands a year for your affiliation and to eat lunch at your Greek house, but still managed to get ticketed if you drive and park there to eat.

4. They will not only ticket you, but will boot you if you are in a service spot, even if you’re parked there for less than 10 minutes. Sadly it’s not like any regular ticket, receiving a boot ticket as well that’s over 100$.

5. They have parking meter spots that you have to pay for, even with a decal, that will ticket you if you go a minute over the time you paid for.

6. Even if you work on campus and park outside your job, you will be ticketed if you don’t have that decal zone.

7. They block off parking the morning of sporting events but still will ticket you if you’re forced to park slightly out of zone.

8. Even if you need to run by a building that doesn’t have any student parking for over 2 miles away, you will be ticketed for parking in that teacher spot.

9. They will ticket you even before parking services office opens in the morning, aka doing the most.

I don’t know about y’all, but I’m completely over parking services and they need to go.

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.
