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.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
