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

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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

8 Easy Ways to Get Involved in College

It's easier than you think.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

9 Reasons Why Friends Are Essential In College

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
