Because parking isn't always easy breezy, especially at UAB.

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***

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
