Silly sophomores!
Underclassmen should follow unwritten rules

As more kids get their licenses, the parking lot becomes more packed and complicated.
“People park like idiots so there are not any spots and even when I do get a spot, we run into the chance of having someone run into us,” said Nicholas Bordwell. Just the other day I saw a person who wants to remain anonymous sideswipe a car doing noticeable damage. This person then just left, which brings us back to Nic’s last comment, which is that there is always a chance to get hit even if you find a spot.
Traditionally, the tar lot is for 11th and 12th-graders, but half the 10th-graders are parking there. “Some of the problems that I find in the lot is younger kids parking in the tar lot which takes up our spots for the 11th and 12th graders,” Steel Fairchild said. “More kids in the lot means it is more crowded so people can barely drive around.”
Bryce Haugly said, “I find that it is hard to drive through it because people don't know how to park,” which is true as some kids don't even park in spots, they just park on the sides. This makes it nearly impossible to bring your car to the shop or leave to go to a doctor appointment. The other day when I saw that car get sideswiped, it wasn't because that person didn't know how to drive. It was because of the parking job done by others, which made it nearly impossible to pass through.
I think the tar parking lot would not be so complicated if the sophomores followed the unwritten rules and parked in the dirt parking lot. Almost everyone before them has followed that tradition, and I think that tradition should continue to be followed.
