I am really starting to get pissed about SMU parking. Shuttles never has an open parking spot except for the constantly unoccupied handicapped parking spots which take up about half of them all. I even found them making two more happy, useful spots into lonely, empty ones the other day! Then there's the faculty member ones that constitute almost all of the other half! 

After annoyingly having to walk from the farrrrr moody garage back to my dorm missing half my class, I asked the RA what the deal is with parking. He explained that they don't want us freshman having a car at SMU followed by vague details backing the stance. Do they not expect us to bring our pretty new cars to college our first year? At SMU I have to emphasize. We pay so much money and agreeably gain so much but this should be changed- more parking spots for Shuttles, no broken elevators (which has happened multiple times) after having to drive to the very top of moody garage, and no ticket after ticket for parking.  I have a million $25 fines for parking in one of the many unoccupied parking spots just for a class time period. Don't they get enough money from our tuition to not have dozens of ticket-givers circle parking areas every couple of minutes?!

The sole purpose of this blog is not to vent but reveal its absurdity and to possibly bring about some change. I'm not sure how to do this other than to tell others who may be similarly frustrated.
