Campus Parking: Explained by Hunger Games Gifs

To all of us who bring our car to college, we can all agree: Parking Services is the bane of our existence. In case you don't have a car here, let me tell you that everyone hates parking services. The people who work in parking services are evil and prey on broke college kids every single day.  As much as we despise this system, they still run the parking game on this campus. As a result, the very worst of our fellow colleagues comes out when it comes to finding a place to put our car. Therefore, let the 2014 Parking Hunger Games commence!

It's time to park your car. You start the engine and head towards the lots.

You begin to drive through the lot and find that guy who has taken two spots for his mustang.

Honestly parking services, tow that guy and make him pay.

You leave the first full lot with no luck and drive on to the next one.

You see an open spot GLORY BE!

Then, you see a car pull up and you're face to face. Spot dead in the middle. Your friend looks at you like ...

You start to race to the spot and you think to yourself ... 

You start to press the gas and think you might be able to beat them but they slide into those white lines right past you.

You watch them get out of the car and stare at them because you both know that should've been your spot because you were there first.

After shooting your most judgmental look, you proceed to the extension lot, feeling defeated.

You locate a spot in the far corner and accept that you will be walking (and sobbing) 4 miles to get to campus.

In general, trying to find a parking spot turns your fellow classmates into something like this: 

So here's to those of us that constantly struggle with our classmates for a spot like the tributes did and battle against parking services like Panem fought the capital. Rebellion is in the air, but until then my fellow colleges:

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
