I've been throwing lots of fits about money lately and have been avoiding adding a parking permit to my expense list. I have two parking tickets to prove it.

Yesterday I created for myself a beautiful parking pass that could have fooled any Potsdam parking Nazi. I must say: it's one of my best works of art.

Several grownups who I respect very much and know more about life than I do have brought it to my attention that using my pseudo parking permit is a sucky thing to do, and you all know I am anything but a sucky person. I'm an awesome person. So I'm going to buy myself an awesome parking permit.

To all Potsdam students who don't like the price of their parking permit: shut up. I have yet to find a university that offers cheaper parking than we do.

To my friends at UCLA: I hope you don't have a car.

SUNY Potsdam: $57/semester
SUNY Canton: $ 95.95/semester
UCLA resident parking:: $258/Quarter <--I have actually been ticketed here and their tickets also cost a shit load
CSU Fullerton: $220/semester
