How The World Looked The Last Time FSU Won A National Championship

This one goes out to all the junior and senior Seminoles out there. To the classes of 2016 and 2017, I'm truly sorry. I have watched the light in your eyes slowly twinkle away as our beloved Florida State Seminoles have taken defeat after defeat. So in the midst of my self-pity, I decided to reflect on a happier time; the time of the 2014 BCS National Championship Game. It's been a few years and a lot has changed since our national championship game for the 2013 season. It's about time that we cry reminisce on what the world looked like during the time of our most recent football victory:


1. "Thrift Shop" by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis Featuring Wanz was listed as the No. 1 on Billboard's "Hot 100 Songs."


2. Nelson Mandela passed away.

The former president of South Africa died on December 5, 2013.


3. The movie "Sharknado" came out.


4. The Jonas Brothers announced their breakup during an interview.


5. Paul Walker passed away.

Star of the "Fast and Furious" movies, actor Paul Walker, died in a car accident at age 40.


6. Miley Cyrus traumatized the world by twerking at the MTV Video Music Awards.

My childhood self is still in shock.


7. The first season of "Orange Is the New Black" was a huge hit.


8. Auburn beat Alabama in one of the most shocking victories in college football.



9. Candy Crush became the most popular game on Facebook.


10. Justin Bieber's "Believe" movie was released.


11. The government shut down.

Since Congress couldn't decide on a budget for the fiscal year of 2014, the government was shut down for 16 days.


12. Yahoo released that Amanda Bynes was No. 7 on their list of top searches.

She had a rough year, alright.


13. Phil Robertson was suspended from A&E.

Star of the A&E show, Duck Dynasty, Robertson was suspended for his comments against homosexuality.


14. Bruce and Kris Jenner announced their split.


15. The average price of gasoline was $3.30.


16. "Uptown Funk" was announced as the Record of the Year at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards.


As much as this sucks, at least we don't have to look back on 2008 to reminisce on our most recent national championship win (cough, cough UF).

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
