14 Perks Of Going To College Down South
Task and Purpose

There really is nothing quite like going to college in the south. We have tons of perks at our warm weather schools and no, we will never feel sorry for our northerner friends when we post Snapchats in 80 degrees during winter time.

If you don't have a friend at a school down south that you can go visit let me give you an inside look on the 14 best things about going to school in the South.

1. Dope weather

Obviously, the weather is half the reason why we chose our southern schools and nothing beats hitting the pool in between classes.

2. Beaches (before and after class)

Clearly another upside of going to school in warm weather means getting to have weekend beach trips with your friends!

3. People are way nicer

Yes, this is not a myth it is in fact the truth people are way nicer down south.

4. Palm trees. Everywhere.

Ah nothing beats looking out your window and seeing palms :)

5. Flip flops all day every day

Lazy day=flip flops

running late=flip flops

Jk flip flops are acceptable at all times!

6. Big football

In the south we do football. That's just science.

7. Publix

A serious luxury that we have down here is our Publix supermarkets.

8. Having sunglasses on your person every day.

Oh you thought the fun just stopped at flip flops everyday well guess again you get to wear sunglasses almost every day as well!

9. Never seeing snow... until winter break.

Going to school down south means never having to deal with cold weather and snow until you have to go back home and see it.

10. Tanning is acceptable anywhere

Have a few minutes between class, catch some rays on the quad its totally ok down here!

11. "Y'all"

This is actually a thing, you can tell any northerner apart from a southerner just by one word, but when you go to school here it just becomes apart of your vocabulary.

12. Everything moves a littler slower.

If you are someone from up north going to school in the south you can totally see the change of pace, and the slow lifestyle is definitely different but way much calmer.

13. Partying is a different ball game.

No one parties like we do down south. If you go to a big time football school you truly know what a darty is all about. But seriously drinking during the day is a normality down here.

14. Our food is better.

Obviously you've heard of southern comfort food, yea we have that but something no one will be able to touch is the Mexican food in Florida, it's the real deal.


So, if you have the option and the means to attend school in the South, you should probably do that ASAP.

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.

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.

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.
