The number one thing that gets on my nerves about school in regard to things I have to pay money for is parking passes.
First of all, I am a poor college student so I already can only afford to buy the cheapest parking pass which in turn is the farthest parking pass. Now I understand that the pricey ones are reserved for faculty and staff but then it goes to whether you want to park in B.F.E. by the gym or real life B.F.E., which is practically out by the interstate.
Either way, I am walking half a mile uphill both ways so now I’ve paid for a parking spot because I can’t afford a ticket every day of my student life. The freaking red lot aka the last resort lots, AKA the only lots all us poor kids can afford and that’s if we save up for it, AKA the real life B.F.E. lots.
So now I have to become a stalker because I legit come to class early so that I can stalk people so that I can park in the closest red lot. So that in the negative degree weather I only have to walk half a mile to class instead of a mile. I don’t want to stalk but I don’t do the cold or the walking a mile and god forbid you are running late and don’t have time to stalk people for a close spot because then you are RUNNING a mile to class. So basically, my parking pass is also a gym membership because I get more exercise going to and from class than I do walking around the block of my own home.
Welcome to College. Where nothing is free and life sucks.
