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.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
