The ABC's Of Florida State University

The only alphabet that matters.

The ABC's Of Florida State University
Her Campus

There's just something about Tallahassee. The atmosphere of the entire town just revolves around Florida State University, and, well, can you blame it? FSU is basically the Disney World of colleges. Like most college towns, there are plenty of memorable things about the school that students and alumni will always remember.

A- Athletics

It's no secret that the athletics at FSU are amazing. From the football team, to the women's soccer team, to the men's basketball team, to the women's softball team, any sporting event is bound to be a good one.

B- Bobby Bowden

The man, the myth, the legend. Everyone in Tallahassee knows who Bobby Bowden is.

C- Circus

FSU is one of two schools in the country to have their own circus. The "Flying High" Circus puts on shows throughout the year that many students go to and enjoy.

D- Doak S. Campbell Stadium

Doak is the place to be on Saturdays in the fall. You have probably had some of the best times of your life here, whether you remember them or not.

E- Einstein Bros. Bagels

I know that a ton of schools have Einstein on their campus, but I just don't think I could survive college without their bagels and coffee.

F- FMC

Better known as the Health and Wellness Center, but this small gym is a personal favorite to many since it is never as crowded as the Leach.

G- Garnet and Gold Guys

Either you or one of your friends have most definitely taken a picture with these guys during a football game and plastered it all over social media.

H- Heritage Grove

Oh, Heritage. I think this one is self-explanatory.

I- Intramurals

The intramural sports here get pretty intense and are definitely a blast to play in.

J- Jimbo Fisher

The guy who led the FSU football team to winning the National Championship in 2013. Gotta love Jimbo.

K- Mrs. Killings

Walking into Suwannee and seeing Mrs. Killings is enough to brighten anyone's day.

L- Leach

Here you can find a bunch of frat guys tossing around weights like it's nothing and girls upstairs on every cardio machine.

M- Momo's Pizza

Definitely a staple in any self-respecting FSU student's diet. Where else can you get a slice of pizza that is bigger than your face?

N- Night Nole

The Night Nole saves students' lives by running from Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10:30 p.m. through 3 a.m.

O- Osceola and Renegade

Our official mascots. When Chief Osceola and Renegade run out to midfield and spear the turf, tell me that isn't the greatest.

P- Pots

If you've never been to Pots, are you even an FSU student? It is literally a 90 second walk from campus, which makes it the perfect location. Whether it's purgatory or happy hour, Pots is always a go-to.

Q- Questionable Weather

The weather in Tally is crazy. One day it is 75 and sunny, and the next day, it is 50 and raining. You've got to be prepared for anything out here.

R- Rez

So many people don't take advantage of the FSU Rez who really should. If you're ever bored one weekend, definitely check out all that it has to offer.

S- Strozier Library

Club Stroz is right on Landis Green in the center of campus, and the sight of it alone guilts you into going and studying, because you just always see it.

T- Tallanasty

What many FSU students, and non-FSU students, refer to Tallahassee as due to the shenanigans that take place here.

U- Unconquered Statue

Located right outside of the stadium, this is another landmark of the university. The night before every home game, the spear is lit on fire, and remains lit until the morning after the game.

V- Valencia

You can't go a day without hearing someone say how they either studied at or going to study abroad in Valencia. This is probably one of the most popular destinations for FSU students to study abroad, but can you really blame them?

W- Westcott Fountain

This is what people picture when they think of Florida State. This is probably where you took pictures when you first toured the school in high school, and this is probably where you are going to take pictures when you graduate. This is also where you end up on your 21st birthday.

X- eXtra Cool People

Not a ton of words actually begin with X, but tons of people at FSU are eXtra cool. We'll go with it.

Y- Y-Bomb

Y-Bombs are a given on any night out. You can look around at any bar and see someone shot-gunning one. They're basically the epitome of Florida State. If you are unsure of what a Y-bomb is, the ever-credible source of Urban Dictionary has got you covered.

Z- Zombie Halftime Show

If you were at the 2015 homecoming game, then you (probably) remember the FSU Marching Chiefs performing "Thriller."

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.

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.

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.
