Most college universities require students to have a decal for their vehicles while parking on campus. Not only do they make this a requirement but they make these decals at least a 100$ and over. However even though we buy these decals, we still all somehow manage to get tickets. These are some of the reasons why everyone hates parking services...

1. You pay thousands of dollars towards a university for them not only to make you buy a decal to park on campus but on top of it all, they tell you where you have to park or you’ll be ticketed.

2. They don’t make enough parking in these zones and ticket you if you’re not in the correct zone.

3. You pay thousands a year for your affiliation and to eat lunch at your Greek house, but still managed to get ticketed if you drive and park there to eat.

4. They will not only ticket you, but will boot you if you are in a service spot, even if you’re parked there for less than 10 minutes. Sadly it’s not like any regular ticket, receiving a boot ticket as well that’s over 100$.

5. They have parking meter spots that you have to pay for, even with a decal, that will ticket you if you go a minute over the time you paid for.

6. Even if you work on campus and park outside your job, you will be ticketed if you don’t have that decal zone.

7. They block off parking the morning of sporting events but still will ticket you if you’re forced to park slightly out of zone.

8. Even if you need to run by a building that doesn’t have any student parking for over 2 miles away, you will be ticketed for parking in that teacher spot.

9. They will ticket you even before parking services office opens in the morning, aka doing the most.

I don’t know about y’all, but I’m completely over parking services and they need to go.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
