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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
