You're not a real FSU student if you haven't done, or aren't planning to do, these 13 things. It's more like a rite of passage, every single student participates, at one point or another. Whether it's because you just had to, your friends said you had to, or it happened by mistake, we've all been

1. Take a plunge in Wescott fountain on your 21st birthday. 

This is the ultimate rite of passage here at Florida State that is taken very seriously. Wait until your 21st and then dive right in and swim a lap or two around good ole Wescott fountain.

2. Get a hug from Ms. Killings.

Everyone at FSU knows that Ms. Killings is a literal angel on earth. Even if you don't have a meal plan, you will still see this incredible woman walking around campus, spreading love and happiness.

3. Sign up for an 8 a.m. class, and then skip most of the classes.

I signed up for one freshman year and really thought I'd be able to do it...

4. Cry over a puppy on Landis.

They're just so darn cute, how can you not?

5. Pull an all-nighter in Stroz.

Yes, accidental all-nighters count.

6. Go to happy hour at Pot's. 

This one just explains itself.

7. Tailgate before attending a football game.

Just because we haven't been playing well recently doesn't mean that you shouldn't attend the games!

8. Make a social media post about how FSU is now a "basketball school" or a "softball school" after attending one of the football games.

Don't lie, you know you've done it.

9. Hiked up Diffenbaugh mountain to take your required foreign language course.

Where did all these hills come from?

10. Walked into the Leach to get back in shape, and then walked right back out. 

Too many meat heads and fit people!

11. Randomly started singing the FSU fight song in your head. 

F-L-O-R-I-D-A

S-T-A-T-E

FLORIDA STATE, FLORIDA STATE, FLORIDA STATE

WHOOOOO

12. Contemplated swimming in one of the many fountains around campus because it's so dang hot. 

We've all wanted to jump in, clothes and all. It doesn't get any hotter than August in Florida.

13. Wondered why someone would want to go to college anywhere else?

FSU is superior to all, no doubt about it.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
