Parking. I hate it, you hate it, everyone hates it. Parking is bad everywhere, but college campuses are the absolute worse place to find parking. No matter the time of day, day of the week or who you have paid off to have a spot, you will not find one.

You circle the parking lot for about 20 minutes, you finally see someone backing up and you get the joy equivalent to a child waking up on Christmas. But then you see someone whipping their rusty car into the spot that had your name on it. By then, you should've been in class an hour ago and you're still trying to find a spot.

Depending on where your college is located, the spot you seek for can be life or death. Living in Florida, you need to find a spot with shade, it is essential for you to. Because if you don't find a spot in the shade, which you won't, you never do, you will walk back to your car after class and melt as soon as you open your car door.

At least in the parking garages there is always shade and less birds to poop on your car, although they still find a way in there and poop on everything you love. But parking garages were built by the very hands of satan himself. If I had a dollar for every time I have almost been hit by a car going too fast around the corner, I could build my own parking lot just for me. And everyone is crooked. No matter how much room they have, they will always be crooked. Which makes parking and getting out even harder for you.

Alright and let's just talk about the people who live on campus trying to get a parking spot. No, no, no, no and no. Us commuters actually need these spots and you are soiling it and then complain when you get a ticket. Stay in your own lane and stop taking our spots that we need.

And for the schools with dirt lots for parking, why? Do you hate us that much? Unless you have a lifted truck or Jeep with 4-wheel drive, you are getting stuck and you are getting stuck forever. Especially if it rains. Don't even bother coming to class that day. Dirt lots are never a good idea if I wanted to go off-roading I would.

Oh and we can't forget that if you live on campus and have a game school, you will be forced to move your car to accommodate to game day. As if parking wasn't already a nightmare, but now you have to fight for a parking spot a mile away from your dorm. Not today, satan.

Point-blank, parking at college campuses need to be revised and redone because it is an absolute nightmare. SOS, please help.

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.

"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.

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 have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. 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.
