17 Things UA Students Would've Rather Spent $600 On Instead Of The Parking Passes They Don't Need Anymore

In This Article:

A few weeks ago UA decided to make some changes to the parking regulations on campus that were slightly uncalled for. Some of these changes included having students purchase an evening parking pass to park on campus after hours. Well, after multiple questions were brought to the table by both students and parents in the University's Student Ticket Exchange Facebook group the Department of Transportation has decided to delay the changes until January 2019.

This means that for all of you students who took the time to think over whether it was worth it to get that $600 parking pass so you could park on campus both during the day and night now means nothing. Instead, you could have spent that $600 on more important things in life.

1. Chick-fil-A

Treating yourself to CFA more than once a week.

2. Starbucks

Make that a trenta please!

3. Amazon Prime Day

Sorry, what deals? I can't hear you over the dent in my bank account from my recent parking pass purchase.

4. Buffalo Phil's

Dining dollars are clutch and all but we run out of them faster than you think.

Textbooks

$100 online code for a class I'll never go to? Yep, that's fair.

6. Chipotle

Extra guac every day!!!

7. Cover at Galletes

Wine Wednesday anyone?

8. Away Game Tickets

Rather wake up at the crack of dawn and stand outside Coleman because Roll Tide!

9. Taco Mama Margs

Standing in the line out the door... what's $12 after all?

10. Cookout

Worth waiting in line for a milkshake at midnight.

11. T-shirts

Thanks JNJ for breaking my bank account every semester.

12. Concerts at the Tuscaloosa Ampitheater

Riley Green anyone?

13. Insomnia Cookies

Yeah I'll take a box of 12 cookies TO SHARE aka I will definitely be eating all of them.

14. Free delivery on Crimson2Go

Hungover Sunday delivery? Yes, plz.

15. Innisfree Irish Gold sauce

I'll take a side of messy fries as well. Thanks!

16. Seventy-five stadium dogs in Bryant Denny

Who doesn't love a good hotdog when you're cheering on the Tide.

17. A National Championship game ticket

I mean, we're not in yet, but the odds are high.


Sure, January is right around the corner but in the meantime, The Department of Transportation Office is hoping to clear up any miscommunication that students and parents have had throughout the past few weeks. They are hoping that the new changes will decrease wait time after hours and increase efficiency for everyone once the campus gets the hang of it.

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:

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.

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.

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.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
