PArking

Parking on campus basically just pisses me off. I know, that sounds idiotic, but really sometimes I wish I just didn’t even have a car on campus. First of all, I can’t parallel park to save my life, so getting a spot in the street is a no-go. Secondly, by the time I get home from work at 11 pm, all the spots in my adjacent lot are taken. Therefore I have to go all the way up the street, park in a lot that is wicked far away from my building, and then run in the freezing cold to my apartment, only to go out to my car the next day and find a ticket on my windshield for some ridiculous offense. Not to mention the ridiculous rules and regulations and limitations of the almighty “parking pass”. You can’t park in the circle in front of old main, you can’t park by the library, you can’t park at Baldwin, you can’t park at D’angelo, and you can’t park at Hirt. What is the damn point of even having a parking pass if I can’t come right from work or rehearsal and go to class? Instead I have to repeat the routine I mentioned above before I get to class, which puts me at being about ten minutes late, in turn causing my grades and reputation to suffer. In conclusion, I think there should be reformations made to the parking situation here at Mercyhurst College. What they may be, I’m not quite positive but I’m working on it.
