7 Thoughts You Have While Walking Through FGCU's Campus

I have somewhere to be.

7 Thoughts You Have While Walking Through FGCU's Campus

There are always so many things going on when you walk through campus every day. People are always asking for your time, you see the colorful tents, smell the food from Cohen, and see all types of people. At times it can feel like sensory overload. These are instances that we as FGCU students know all too well:

1. I don't want your flyer.

Sorry, but I don't care about world vegan day or how you think all drugs should be legal. The vast majority of the flyers you hand out to students will hit the next trash can they walk by.

2. I have no money so why would I donate to your frat?

None of us have money, so probably the worst place to do a fundraiser is a place surrounded by broke college students rushing to wherever they need to be. We don't have the time or money to contribute to your event.

3. Should I answer yes or no to being a registered voter?

You have to read this situation very carefully. Sometimes if you say no they will try to lure you into registering, and sometimes if you say yes they will give you a thoroughly prepared presentation on whatever trivial cause they want your signature for. At the end of the day, you don't want what they're selling, and just want to go about your day.

4. Should I eat at Cohen today?

Ah, the daily question. Luckily, the Cohen Center satisfies a lot of cravings such as fast food, pizza, sushi, and smoothies. But needless to say, it's not all that healthy. "Should I eat healthy today, or should I splurge? Is it my Chick Fil A day yet?" #It'sChickFilAMonday

5. I wish I had a hammock.


With so many beautiful days here at FGCU, it's certain that the students with the hammocks are living their best life. Strung between two palm trees, they take what can only be described as tropical naps in between their classes, basking like a cat in the sun.

6. Oh, look, a show.

No one knows where he comes from, or when he will strike next, but the crazy Jesus man is not an unusual sight to see in front of the Marketplace. Shaming everyone who walks by, the crazy Jesus man with his megaphone and the 5-foot long sign of people God hates will get you for sure.

7. I have places to go.

Most of the time, students are on campus because they have somewhere to go, so being stopped by whoever can just be really annoying. If people are interested, they will approach you, otherwise, you shouldn't bother people.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
