UAB Parking: My Thoughts While Looking For A Parking Spot
Urban Matter

If you're like me, then you hate driving to school because you hate the idea of having to find a parking spot. If you go to UAB like me, then you know the struggle of having to find a parking spot. This is my first year commuting to school and I have to say that parking has to be one the most frustrating, aggravating, and annoying things I have ever experienced. So, in light of all my struggles to find parking this semester, here are my thoughts while looking for parking:

1. Maybe today will be my lucky day.

2. "Deck full" light is on? I don't care.

3. Oh look, so many cars coming down the deck.

4. You guys didn't find parking, but I will.

5. I FOUND ONE...

6. CURSE YOU SMART CAR!

7. UGH. Stupid small cars.

8. Seriously?! Can you guys move any slower through this deck?

9. "Excuse me, are you leaving?"

10. OH MY GOD, their car is on, they must be leaving!

11. **waits five minutes** SERIOUSLY? Who just sits in their car??

12. I see someone walking to their car.

13. No, I'm not stalking you, I just want your parking spot.

14. "Sorry, I'm not leaving." CURSE YOU

15. HOW DID YOU FIND A SPOT?

16. I've been circling for twenty minutes, how dare you find a spot before me!

17. Maybe I should check the other lots.

18. UGH, but I don't wanna walk that far.

19. OH OH OH, SOMEONE ELSE IS WALKING TO THEIR CAR.

20. ***slowly follows person walking to their car***

21. Do you think you could move any slower out of that parking spot?

22. I bet the cars behind me are jealous I found a spot.

23. I FINALLY HAVE A PARKING SPOT!!!!

24. Oh crap, I only have three minutes to get to class.

25. ***walks with pride out of deck and watches cars leave because they couldn't find parking***

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
