Please accept my apologies for not publishing an entry yesterday. College has taken precedence over everything in my life. Being a full-time student is often stressful. This is especially evident in the first few weeks of a student’s classes. I could tell many stories, both personal and from other students, about the woes of finding classrooms, obtaining books, and finding cash to pay for the seemingly never-ending list of college necessities.
Cash is valuable to most college students. Here we are, straddling the line between youth and adulthood. In front of us is the promise of a better life, complete with a dream job and home to match. Or so that is the dream. When reality rears its twisted horns into our lives, we may not be so sure of that promise.
But, I like to dream big.
In dreaming big, I would love to assume that no college campus will ever have a parking problem. I’d like to think that a school, brimming with great minds and creative ideas, could produce a plan in which every student that has purchased a parking permit could actually park in a parking place. However, this is not always the reality of life.
I can’t blame any of these three drivers. Parking at the college I attend is dreadful. Too bad the Corvette owner had to park in the grass. It rained today. My assessment is that mud and a white sports car probably don’t mix well.
Tomorrow is another day. Hopefully, a sunny, vibrant day. A day where every student has a parking spot and no textbooks are on backorder.
Yeah, that is what I dream. I dream big.

You couldn't have said it better...
I remember those days. I walked the lot for what seemed like forever. Sometimes, I even had to park across the street in a residential area. :o
Christina, thank you for the kind words!
Heather, I’m sorry to hear that you too had to deal with parking issues. Some students have told me similar stories. One man even said that he began parking at the bar across from campus. He would have a drink at the end of each school day, hoping that his purchase would encourage the bar owner to not have his vehicle towed.
Wow those kids sure have some nice cars.
We didn't have that problem in college cause we rode our bicycles to campus.
I guess our college was known as a bike town.
Loved it, but not on rainy days.
We don’t all have nice cars. Mine is not so shinny.
I don’t think I have even seen one bicycle on the campus where I attend. It must be because the college is made up of mostly commuter students.
What a cool picture and even cooler is the idea of penning something like this down so creatively! You reminded me of my own college days, though I didn't own a car during those times.
Amit Schandillia, thank you for the compliments!
I’m sorry you didn’t have a car during college. Neither did a few of my friends. It was sometimes difficult for them to get from one location to another. Did you have any difficulties?
Thank you for visiting! I hope we meet again.
