14 Things You Only Understand If You're A Seminole

Lauren Keeler

You can hear all the stories or come to town for a visit but if you aren't actually a student at FSU, you don't get it. There are just certain things you only understand if you are a seminole. You know, just FSU things.

1. Proudly owning a Gator shirt.

...Purely for WTW.

2. Mount Diffenbaugh is your workout for the day.

Okay, maybe for the week. You know what. You deserve some YOMO after that.

3. Your priorities are completely in order.

*Has a 9 a.m. class*

"Nope. No, that is way too early."

*Has a 9 a.m. pre-game for a noon game."

"Let's do this."

4. Waltzes.

What's so confusing about dressing up however the birthday girl chooses, making a sign and banner and pins and glittered champagne bottle, doing 21 tasks, then throwing her in a fountain (even if it's winter), then making sure she gets home alive?

5. How to prepare for a hurricane.

Yes, mom, I went to Publix and got everything I need.

6. When even the restaurants know how to handle hurricanes.

7. Leaning back in your chair at Stroz.

Yeah, I'm fine. My life just flashed before my eyes but I'm good.

8. Knowing your schedule.

- Monday: Clyde’s

- Wednesday: Wine Down

- Thursday: Purg

- Friday- Happy Hour at Pots/Clydes

- Saturday: Standard

- Sundays: Brunch at Madso

9. Parking your car wherever and just hoping for the best.

10. Trying to go out during syllabus week, to the union on Market Wednesday or anywhere when we play UM at home.

Only the strong make it out alive.

11. When there's free pizza on Landis.

12."Isn't that a huge party school?"

How do you become a top party school? When "I have a final tomorrow" is no longer a valid excuse.

13. When people think we are just pretty faces and strong livers.

Just last month, FSU's research team made a breakthrough in the search for a cure for the Zika virus. The team pinpointed two drugs that may be able to stop the spread of the virus in the body as well as prevent its transmission from mothers to newborns. Yeah, what did you do today?

14. This makes you even more excited for football season.

If this little babe does not get you excited for game days and war chants then I don't know what will.

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

StableDiffusion

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
