International student, Scarlett Lobo from Cara- cas, Venezuela, has lived in multiple places around the world before reaching her current destination at Cal State Fullerton. Lobo, 23, is a junior ma- joring in broadcast journalism and working toward the Latino Communications Ini- tiative certificate. However, CSUF wasn’t always her in- tended school of study, and the journey to get here has not been an easy one. “Six months before I moved out of Venezuela, my uncle got kidnapped. Then like two months before I moved out, two guys came and they stole my phone with guns and my friend’s phones,” Lobo said. “They said, ‘Give us your phone and money’ and we gave it to them. That was pretty scary, but I already knew I was leaving. Things like that happened all the time in Venezuela.” After being assaulted in Venezuela, Lobo decided to live with her father in Nor- way in 2011 for two years. “My goal was to go to college there because college there is free and my dad lives there and Venezu- GRETCHEN DAVEY / DAILY TITAN ela is really bad right now,” Scarlett Lobo, 23, is a broadcast journalism major at CSUF.

JACQUELINE LINDEBERG Daily Titan

There is nothing like en- tering the battlefield that is finding parking spots at Cal State Fullerton a few hours before class starts. Even with class sessions nearly halfway over, the prophetic hope of parking spots opening up is starting to fade. The difficulty to secure a parking space has now become an impossibility since the start of the semester, more so than last semester. The total number of students and faculty combined at CSUF this semester is around 42,000. Currently, over 18,000 parking permits have been sold for the fall 2016 semester. However, structures and lots serve up a cramped 11,300 spots offered by the university. This is a very interest- ing number when thinking about it.
