10 Things You Know TOO Well, But Only If You Go To FAU
@fau_owlsley

1. The Lane Train

The Lane Train is a real train that whistles and blows through campus the day before a football game to get students hyped up for game day! And hearing someone yell "ALLLL ABOOARRDD" is completely normal

2. Owlsley and His Outfits

Does your mascot have different outfits specially made for him for different occasion? Didn't think so.

3. Mrs. Pearl

The loudest, sassiest, but nicest cafeteria worker you could ask for.

4. The Breezeway

The Breezeway renovation lefts students for months confused with all the alternate routes, but thankfully is back open now!

5. Dr. KingSTAGRAM

Dr. King, the VP of student affairs, is famous at FAU for his instagram of selfies with students, faculty, and Owlsley. I was lucky enough to get my own selfie with him freshman year!

6. It's Impossible To Get Through Rainy Days On Campus

Rainy day? Forget about going to class walking through that. Or if you're dedicated, bring a change of clothes because it'll most likely pouring. Not even an umbrella can save you from that!

7. The Iguanas

FAU...home of the mini dinosaurs right outside parliament hall!

8. Last Chance faU

Ever heard of the show Last Chance U? It's a popular football documentary on Netflix, and especially popular around the FAU campus, especially because 3 of the players from the show go to and play for FAU!

9. The 24 Hour Study Building


I mean, the Jewish Center. And yes, that is the Christmas tree FAU put up in front of it.

10. The Incredible Sunrises and Sunsets

You don't even have to go to the beach (which is only 3 miles away from campus!) to see a sunset like this everyday, just step outside or look out your dorm window!


There are so many amazing things about FAU. Amazing faculty, location, and school spirit make FAU one of the best schools in Florida. Go Owls!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
