25 Questions I Have for Florida Gulf Coast University

google images

Florida Gulf Coast University is one of the most beautiful and quaint college campuses I have ever been to, but as a current student who is nearing the end of her undergraduate years, I have a few unanswered questions that I am sure others would appreciate as well. They include:

1. Why is there never a place to park in the parking garages?

2. When can I graduate?

3. Why does it always feel like an igloo in the library?

4. Can you pick a different time to clean the bathrooms during the day other than when I have to pee?

5. How can I walk to class without someone almost running me over on their longboard?

6. Why are cumulative exams even a thing?

7. Why is it okay for my professors to show up late?

8. Can we start having classes outside on the Library Lawn?

9. Does anyone actually enjoy Colloquium?

10. Who decided to put Dunkin Donuts on the far side of campus?

11. Why do we only have one Chick-Fil-A on campus?

12. Can we all get a discount on our tuition since trying to park on campus makes us late for class?

13. Why do I sweat when I walk to class, but freeze whenever I am in class?

14. Why do we not have a designated napping area on campus?

15. Can we get reimbursed some money every time a professor cancels class?

16. Why is that annoying preacher guy still allowed on our campus?

17. Do people actually think it is okay to walk around campus with no shoes on?

18. How does any sane person voluntarily sign up for a class at 8 am?

19. Why are our boardwalks so pretty?

20. Do people actually go the speed limit when driving on campus, or?

21. Why does it take me 20 minutes to LEAVE the parking garage?

22. Would you ever consider adding another Chick-Fil-A on campus?

23. Do I really need more service-learning hours?

24. Why do I have to take another pointless elective?

25. When is graduation again?

Even though I find myself constantly swearing under my breath as I struggle to find a parking spot before class and the lines for Chick-Fil-A are longer than life, which is the ultimate struggle, FGCU is still a beautiful school to be a part of.

My questions may go unanswered, but it is all in good fun, even though some of the questions I am dead serious about (LOL). I love the campus and I am thankful to be able to get my college education at such an awesome university.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
