Parker

Hey I'm Parker. I am from South Bend, Indiana, home of the Irish. I have been living on my own for about five months prior to attending BSU so not much has changed. Everyone I've met is pretty cool and I'm curious to see what the rest of this year has in store for me

Parker hates to write. I have never seen such passion in someone's eyes when I asked him if he liked to write. Parker told me that there has never been an activity that he has hated more. I was shocked and disappointed to hear this. He told me he is going to fight through his hate and dominate this class.

**Do you like the extra income? ** **Parker Brown ** **October 4, 2010 ** **Dear Office of Parking Services at BSU: ** **I feel as if you guys truly enjoy handing out your little tickets. I feel it is so pathetic that your office feels the need to fine someone if they can’t find a parking space and choose one that is “not allowed”. Seriously, could you give me a reason why it’s necessary to charge someone thirty dollars or more for parking in a non-designated area when you decided to sell more parking tags than spaces. With this being the smallest freshman class that has attended Ball State, I could only begin to imagine how hectic and hellacious parking must have been previous years. Bet you don’t care though with the nice chunk of change it brought in. ** **So what’s the deal? Do you guys really need the money? Or am I right about the way you just enjoy writing people up? Either way I find it absolutely ridiculous. I have had over $100 dollars worth of parking tickets since I have attended school here and argued every single one. I do find it quite funny that your office didn’t have one rebuttal against any of my arguments as to why I did deserve these tickets. Doesn’t really matter either way, you won’t ever see a cent out of me. ** **I do have a solution to this whole situation, although I’m sure you don’t see a problem in your majorly flawed program. Do away with designated parking. Have a first come, first serve basis. Screw seniority and all that jazz. The only people who deserve their own parking area are commuters and the employees of the University. If you could even find a problem with this solution go ahead and let me know, I’m all ears. **

However, I feel as if I won’t be hearing a word from you, seeing as my solution will only make your pockets go on a diet. That’s okay, you would rather piss off thousands of students just to come home with that extra cash.
