Top Ten Reasons UNK Parking is Better than Dating

OK....so my teacher Double Dog Dared me to write about UNK parking. I loathe writing and reading about UNK parking just about as much as I loathe reading anything (ever) written about dating. So, with a little Letterman in me, I decided that you two most over-written about cliches should be grouped together in this handy-dandy countdown.

10) The UNK campus parking lots are always so packed that you know who's been there directly before you.

9) A parking spot is either available or unavailabe. There are no parking spots with benefits, or "open-ended" parking spots.

8) If someone takes your spot, there is no need to take down facebook pictures or go on a 10-day drinking binge ending with you crying in your spot's mom's front yard.

7) Rather than burning a hole in your pocket eating out evenings, you are burning calories, mornings, walking to class.

6) There is never a need to pretend that you like the parking spots that are surrounding your spot.

5) 30-minute spots are honest with their commitment issues from the get-go.

4) The UNK parking lot is equal-opportunity. It doesn't care that you drive your dad's 1991 green Ford Taurus, or that you work at a fast-food joint.

3) Parking spots have no objection if you rotate between them and the one next to them every other day.

2) The UNK parking lot is small enough that everyone has parked here or there at least once, and we all know this, but unlike dating, no one seems to mind.

And the number one reason that UNK parking is better than dating.....(drumroll).....

1) It costs you $60, once a year, and you are promised (in writing) exactly what you are going to get. Enough said.
