Winter is the bane of every commuter’s existence, especially here at UConn.
1. When your apartment hasn’t been dug out yet and you have to wade into the snow to get to your car.
2. The parking lots are total ice sheets here at UConn.
3. Shoveling your car out from under the snow in the morning or after class is probably the only time you’ll be warm today.
4. UConn just doesn’t know how to plow. This would be a better option.
5. It always seems that your car finally gets warm right as you are pulling into the parking lot.
6. Having to drive into campus on a dangerous road? No thanks, I’ll pass on this one.
7. Forgetting to defrost your car in the morning when you are running late and then driving with only a small hole to see out of.
8. Parking services somehow ticketing you for being outside the lines of a parking spot even though the snow and ice have covered them…
9. Sitting in your apartment feeling like leaving is a life or death decision. Best to just stay inside with some hot chocolate.
