Dance Marathon At FSU Reveals $2 Million Goal
Kelly Brickley

Florida State University has seen its fair share of adversity this last year, and our campus is in need of a culture change. Dance Marathon at FSU is here to engage this student body to come together to show just how powerful Seminoles can be. This student body has built DM at FSU from the ground up, starting in Tully Gym raising just $19,000, to this year's goal: $2 million. There's no better way to bring this campus together than to enhance our community of the most selfless and determined students at FSU.


This goal is more than just a number we will hold up at the end of the marathon, it represents the money needed by our beneficiaries. $2 million dollars is what gives the kids in Gadsden County basic health care, school nurses, and yearly physicals. It's providing new research, vital equipment, and comfort the patients with pediatric illnesses at Shands Children's Hospital in Gainesville need. It's a result of a movement created by students who saw the power in coming together to make a change in others' lives.

This is a big number, but it's not at all impossible. We get there with your help. Any student at Florida State can register to fundraise, volunteer, and dance at our marathon on March 2-4th, 2018. There is a place in this organization for any and all students. We've seen these students year after year make an impact in the lives of who we help. Let's keep improving the lives of kids who need it most, providing a shot at healthy, happy childhoods, while giving our student body the cause we can all rally behind.

Don't know where to start, visit DM at FSU's website to register to fundraise and dance, and learn more about what we're doing to make change in the lives of others, as well as our own here at FSU.

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.
