An Open Letter To Parking Services At Mississippi State evidently shows just how unhappy students are with our parking situation. By no means do I think that Mississippi State has the worst parking situation, but I wouldn't call it the best either. I think everyone can agree that the prices have gotten a little high, the lots are overcrowded, and receiving a ticket on the first day of class is a little out of hand. So, here are 50 things we would rather do than find a parking spot on campus.

1. Get hit by a campus vehicle. (Free tuition?)

2. Scratch my nails on a chalkboard.

3. Only listen to a recording of my nails on a chalkboard for the rest of time.

4. Never eat Bin cheese fries again.

5. Have to eat Fresh Foods for every meal.

6. Delete my Netflix account.

7. Only take cold showers for the rest of my life.

8. Get stopped at every red light on Highway 12.

9. Smash my pinky toe into the wall every time I walk.

10. Buy a $200 book for class and never use it.

11. Punch myself in the face.

12. Listen to Nickelback every day.

13. Brush my teeth with dirt.

14. Or never brush my teeth again?

15. Have a class schedule only consisting of 8 a.ms.

16. Retake Chemistry.

17. Take the ACT again.

18. Never eat another Chick-fil-A nugget.

19. Or queso.

20. Run out of coffee for eternity.

21. Even worse, never drink a PSL again.

22. Never watch "The Office" again.

23. Live without A.C.

24. Have a bad hair day, every day.

25. Longboard to class.

26. Relive high school.

27. Or worse, permanently move back to my hometown.

28. Face the campus clown.

29. Give up my iPhone for a Nokia.

30. Run out of gas in the middle of nowhere.

31. Delete my Amazon Prime account.

32. Give up my Mac for a PC.

33. Forget to bring my cowbell to a football game.

34. Live in Rice Hall for all four years.

35. Sit in the Cookout drive-thru line.

36. Eat burnt bacon.

37. Have Donald Trump's hair.

38. And Hillary's health.

39. Wear ripped contacts.

40. Throw away all of my maroon clothes.

41. Go to Walmart during move-in week.

42. Or go to Walmart...ever.

43. Never shop at Kroger again.

44. Never eat Stromboli's cookie dough bites.

45. Have all Target stores shut down. Forever.

46. Walk to my hometown five hours away.

47. Only have to use MSU1x wi-fi for the rest of my life.

48. Use Carpenter Hall's elevator every single day.

49. Erase Dak Prescott from my memory.

50. Go to Ole Miss.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
