20 Questions I Have For The University Of North Alabama
The Odyssey Online

Before I get started with this article, let me start by saying I absolutely love this school, this campus, and this town. Moving to Florence has been the best decision I've made in my life and I'm so grateful for this opportunity. But no matter how much I love UNA , I still have a few questions I'd like to figure out.

1. Why do we not have more parking?

Seriously, tear down Rice or Rivers and give us another parking deck or something.

2. Why block off potential parking spots for visitors when we have shuttle services?

We pay for both so why not actually use the shuttles and let us park?

3. Why did we have to lose WOW?

I know I'm not the only one upset about this. WOW was the best place on campus and it just got taken away like it was nothing.

4. Why does the SRC put "Out Of Order" signs on exercise machines and then take months to fix them?

Some of us actually want to lose the Freshman Fifteen...Kinda hard to do that if they're all broken.

5. WHERE IS PANDA EXPRESS?!

Come on now. You took away WOW, Pizza Hut, A&W, and the Chinese place we had, but you made up for it for promising a Moe's and Panda Express... Moe's is up, where's the other?

6. Why can't we pet Leo and Una?

Okay, this might just be me. Yes, I understand they're lions and all that, but if they can be chill during a whole football game, I'm sure they'd be okay being loved on by stressed out students.

7. Why do we have to give up our nice, homey dorms for the older, iffy dorms after our freshman year?

Mattielou and Olive honestly should be for upperclassmen. Sorry, freshies. You're just gonna have to settle for Rice or Rivers like we did.

8. Why can't all the stairs on campus be a valid excuse for being late to class?

I don't care how in shape you are, those stairs will kick your butt and will make you show up to class breathing like you're about to die.

9. Why is not being able to find a parking spot not a legitimate reason for missing class?

Lots of students plus lack of parking tends to become a problem. It's only syllabus week and I've already missed two classes because I couldn't find a place to park.

10. Why is the WiFi terrible even after being "fixed" multiple times?

I'm on season ten-- I mean, page ten of this research paper, I don't have time for the WiFi to be going out randomly.

11. Why so many fire alarms?

I understand that it's precautions and we need to be safe but seriously? Once every other month should cover it. And NOT AT 3AM.

12. Why is Portal always down?

Kinda need to check my email every now and then.

13. Speaking of emails, why do we need so many sent to us?

This has gotten better thanks to the UNA Digest and Clutter section, but there's still unnecessary emails.

14. Why can't we have more Step Shows?

Because let's be real, our Alphas are the best.

15. Why is the softball field so far away from campus?

I mean, we are National Champions...

16. Why don't we have more food options?

As much as I love Chick-Fil-A and Starbucks, they get old after a while.

17. Why do we not have a "Netflix Club"?

We all procrastinate and binge watch Netflix. Might as well watch an entire season of Shameless and Grey's Anatomy with a group of people. With sweatpants and blankets and snacks.

18. Why do the frats have houses but the sororities don't?

Seriously. The guys get their own houses for every frat while the girls are sharing dorms.

19. Why isn't it a legit rule/agreement that if a professor is more than 10 minutes late to a class, we can leave and be excused?

If I drag myself out of bed, you should too.

20. Why do UNA cops give so many tickets?

Mainly because of parking but we wouldn't have that problem if we had more places to park. I've paid more money in tickets than I have in tuition. (Okay, a bit of a stretch but you get the point.)

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
