10 Struggles All GCSU Students Understand

Chances are, if you attend Georgia College, you love it here. We have a beautiful campus full of friendly faces. There's plenty of ways to get involved- whether it's greek life, intramurals, or one of the various clubs offered. However, there are some universal struggles that all GCSU students can relate to:

1. It is impossible to walk outside at night without seeing a cockroach

The cockroaches out on the sidewalks used to gross me out so much. Now? They don't even phase me (okay maybe a little).


2. The arm workout you get when the handicap button on the doors are broken

Let's be real here, those doors are so heavy. Sorry to all the people behind me who I couldn't hold the door open for.



3. "Wait, you go to Georgia State right?"

It's GCSU not GSU!



4. Better yet, no one knows where your school is

"Where's that?", "Milledgeville", "Where's that??" Come on people, it used to be the old state capitol!



5. Your chance of finding an open study room is equivalent to winning the lottery

I am not exaggerating, it is actually impossible to find a study room that is free. Bonus points for the later you get into the semester.


6. The strict dress code of the Wellness Center

What do you mean I can't wear a tank top?

7. The limited number of washers and dryers in the dorms

If you plan to do your laundry on a Sunday, then forget it. All four washers are probably full again!


8. When you want to go shopping but your best option is the small

Okay so do you want to go to Rue 21 or TJ Maxx?

9. Finding a decent parking spot is impossible

Yes, I just walked half a mile from my car. No, there weren't any other spaces.

10. Trying to get to your class in A&S without being handed a million flyers

Yes, your event sounds very cool but I'm running late to class right now.


At the end of the day, we still love GCSU and are proud to call ourselves a bobcat despite some of its struggles.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
