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.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
