As the semester begins to wind up, the tests and papers and projects begin to multiply. And where do most people end up? Yep, their dorm room. But on a campus as beautiful as Florida Gulf Coast University, why study in your dorm when there are a number of other options for all preferred study environments? So put on those glasses and strap on that backpack and head on over to the top five best study locations at FGCU!

1. Einstein Bros. Bagels

My personal favorite — the bagel shop is a great place to grab a bite to eat and get typing on that next paper. It is usually just quiet enough to concentrate but vivacious enough to feel immersed in college life!

2. Starbucks

Although common, and often noisier, Starbucks is a perfect place to meet for a group project. There's enough going on that your group won't need to whisper the whole time but can still focus along with the rest of the coffee-addicts.

3. Library

If you're looking for a quieter location, the library is the ideal place to go. There are numerous seats, fit for a group or an individual, computers, and study rooms to reserve. The sound level never really goes above a whisper, so studying for your first exam won't be an issue at all.

4. Library Lawn

Right outside the library, accentuated with hammocks, is the library lawn. As the weather cools, more students will flock to this aesthetic study location to be one with nature while they absorb the meaning of statistics.

5. Waterfront

But since it is not time for the cool weather just yet, the Waterfront is the perfect place to get your study sesh on! No doubt simultaneously soaking up some Vitamin C and improving that tan will lead to better grades, right? Well, if not, at least you have a pretty view!

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:

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.
