The first week back of any college is, more than likely, rough and stressing for most students and staff. Parking becomes a war zone for commuters at some colleges. Sacramento State is no exception to this. Spending $168 for a parking permit that allows you to park at Sacramento State does not make anyone happy. The parking permit does not guarantee you a parking spot. It is based on a "first come first serve" basis. If there are no parking spots available, tough luck buddy. Play the waiting game like the thousands of other students driving around hunting for a spot, too. In addition to parking, students are "crashing" courses trying to get into classes. This means that there are more than the usual amounts of students at the college. Most classes are completely full, seats are filled, students standing by the doorway, and students sitting on the floor inside of class rooms. Professors butchering names for the attendance and some making students "play" games for spots in the class. These "games" can get intense or depressing. Inevitably, some of these students may not get into the classes they are hoping to get or need. Sorry. Good luck to these students and not to forget, the commuters as well. There are other endless amounts of obstacles students face during the first week...
..but this post wasn't suppose to be negative or pessimistic though, it was to congratulate everyone. It's over. We made it. It's now the second week. Keep moving forward and heads up. Focus and work hard, the semester will be over before we will know it.
