10 Things I Miss About Tallahassee

Oh Tally, I complain all semester about leaving you and now I miss you more than ever.

This summer, I accepted an internship out-of-state and I never thought I would see the day where I could say I genuinely miss Tallahassee and all the little things it has to offer.

1. All the good eats

Pho 7, I miss you so much.

2. Drink specials

Nothing beats MadSo's monthly challenge or all you can drink at Bulls.

3. Jogging routes

Have you ever jogged during the sunrise at Lake Ella? Cascades Park? Lafayette Park?

4. Publix

The closest Publix to me is two hours away. An entire summer without Pub Subs is a true Floridan tragedy.

5. Trees

For the record, I have no idea what species they are -I'm assuming they're oak- but if you're from Tallahassee, you probably already know what trees I'm talking about because you can't miss them.

6. Events

Three words: food truck Thursdays.

7. Convenience

The perks of living in a college town? Everything is either open super late or 24/7 and they're close to one another.

8. FSU

A part of me even misses Club Strozier, who has been there for me through the best and worst of times.

9. Home

I genuinely miss my little apartment in Tallahassee. Nothing beats the comfort of your own bed, homemade meals, and making sure your plants are still alive through the summer heat.

10. Tally Cat Cafe

This deserved a mention of its own. I miss studying here, the cats that would frequent the windows, and the movie nights.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

The people that spend their summers at the lake are a unique group of people.

Whether you grew up going to the lake, have only recently started going, or have only been once or twice, you know it takes a certain kind of person to be a lake person. To the long-time lake people, the lake holds a special place in your heart, no matter how dirty the water may look.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
