30 Things I'd Rather Do Than Find Parking at UNC-Greensboro

Parking is an issue on all campuses, but this university seems to be struggling a little more than others.

Driving around in circles for an hour is not a trait I expected to be a part of college. Finding somewhere to put your car is always an inconvenience on a college campus, but UNCG seems to have an extreme amount of complaints. Nothing is more irritating for a student, especially if you are a commuter and are already late to your class.

Here are 30 things I'd rather do than park on UNC-Greensboro's campus.

1. Not pay the $200+ pass to park no where.

2. Introduce Adolf Hitler to my grandparents.

3. Move into my high-rise 8th floor dorm when the elevator is broken.

4. Eat cold Taco Bell.

5. Drive on Tate St. with one lane closed.

6. Register for a 8:00 a.m calculus class with a foreign professor.

7. Sneakily fall asleep in boring classes.

8. Blow the $200+ on outrageous amounts wings from East Coast.

9. Fight the abnormally, outgoing, squirrels on campus.

10. Punch myself in the throat.

11. Only get burnt fries for the rest of my life.

12. Sell my dog for a pebble.

13. Trade bodies with Donald Trump and walk into the Hillary Clinton rally we had on campus a couple weeks ago.

14. Use rubbing alcohol instead of contact solution.

15. Have to brush my teeth with mayonnaise for a week.

16. Break both of my texting thumbs.

17. Eat an entire lemon by itself.

18. Have to live in Cone for the rest of my life.

19. Walk up every flight of stairs in Jackson Library.

20. Walk Florida St. by yourself in the middle of the night.

21. Rub my eyes after touching jalapeños.

22. Go to Starbucks the day they announce pumpkin spice lattes are back.

23. Eat a whole basket of Mexican corn chips without cheese dip or salsa.

24. Fall off the treadmill in the gym in front of every attractive human on campus.

25. Build a house full of Ikea furniture.

26. Switch to T-Mobile with a three year contract.

27. Dive into a tank of piranhas.

28. Only wear the color magenta for a full year.

29. Have a fender bender in the middle of Battleground during rush hour and not be able to move.

30. Only be able to eat at the Caf for all four years, no where else, ever.


Obviously, this is sarcasm, but the university needs to think a little harder about building some lots or decks instead of a $5 million wellness center.

How do you raise your acceptance rates and watch the transfer and freshmen classes get bigger and bigger and expect everything to stay the same?

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
