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?

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.
