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?

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.
