If you are like me, you love to take advantage of the beautiful weather and take your studies to the great outdoors. Fortunately for us, Florida Gulf Coast University is very environmentally conscious and encourages its students to enjoy the beauty of nature by giving us these beautiful spots. Read on if you are tired of feeling confined to the dark and freezing cold library. Here are the 5 best study spots at FGCU:

1. Waterfront

The most beautiful place on campus by far is the waterfront in North Lake Village. With construction recently done, there is now a beautiful boardwalk spanning almost completely across the waterfront. Here you can find benches, hammocks, and other cozy spots to sit and do some reading and studying. The housing wifi reaches out to these water-front spots, so you are even able to write a paper on your laptop if you'd like!

2. Behind Reed Hall

Behind Reed Hall there are picnic tables with free standing seats looking out over the swamp and preserved land. It is one of the more quiet places on campus and is the perfect spot for some serene studying in the sun. Put in some headphones, pick a seat facing the water and nature trail and you might even forget that you are at school!

3. Cohen Center Balcony

It can get a little hot up here in the summer months, but in the winter you will feel like a cat soaking up the warm sun. This is a quiet place with tables, couches, and outdoor outlets where any student can lounge and do some homework.

4. Behind Merwin Hall

The picnic tables behind Merwin hall are very relaxing to be at. Like the tables behind Reed Hall, they give you a beautiful view of the preserved land that Florida Gulf Coast University is known for. This spot is also the most central to everything on campus, so it will be quick and easy to pack up and get to your next class fast.

5. Library Lawn

The library lawn has so much to offer when it comes to finding a study spot. There are places for your hammock, benches, tables, and places to lay out a blanket. You can be in the sun or the shade, around a lot of people or not as many people. You might even be able to stumble on some free Kona Ice.

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.
