Yes officer?

So I'm driving home from campus, only to realize halfway there that I wouldn't be able to print out the pictures I needed for my project since my printer doesn't work right now (I need to buy more ink... umm who votes computer ink shouldn't cost $50? I!!!) so I turn around and head to the El Ed building (the McKay Building if you're familiar with BYU campus) and I figured I could go to the faculty parking since it would only take a minute to print what I needed.

I get to the street I turn into to get to the parking lot. And there is the police officer, talking to the car ahead of me. So he walks up to my car. He's like my age. 21-ish maybe. It was at this moment that I made a decision.

I decided to WORK IT.

I rolled down my window and he asks if I'm a student. I tell him yes and he continues to tell me that I'm not allowed in the back parking lot until 7 when parking is open to anyone. I look up right into his eyes and flutter my eyelashes a few times... bite my bottom lip for good measure and look genuinely concerned. "Officer, what if I'm SUPER fast? You won't even know I was there! I promise I don't do this all the time, I'm just really cramming for time..." (flash my pearly whites and dimples to clinch it) He pauses and looks semi nervous and goes "Ok, but you have to be back in 5 minutes. Give me your lisence so I know when you get back." (GOT IT!!!) "Thank you so much! You're the best" (And I flash my best smile at him again)

So I go print my papers and I drive back out and stop at the gate and he comes out of his booth and taps on my window. I roll it down and I kid you not. "So you're from Huntington Beach huh? I'm from Burbank! What a small world. Hey, so I wouldn't reccommend making this a habit, but if you ever need anything, I work every Tuesday night." I thanked him and assured him that it really was a one time thing and drove away.

O my goodness. I've always heard those stories of girls working over the police men. I'll be honest, I didn't think it would work!! I never knew I was capable of such sneakyness! I'm just glad I got that project done and I now have inside connections with the law system on Tuesday nights! ;) haha

I seriously love my life.
