I Love FSU But I Could Do Without These Things

Actually, couldn't we all?

I Love FSU But I Could Do Without These Things
Colin Hackley

It's hard to go to school at FSU and not love it. Tallahassee is a little dream world and I sometimes forget that it isn't just a college town but actually the state capital. And while Florida State is the greatest school in the nation, there are a couple things that I, and the whole student body, could really do without.


1. One Way Streets

I don't know about you, but in my hometown, there is a grand total of zero one way streets. So, coming to Tallahassee where they are everywhere was quite the adjustment. Almost a month an a half into my sophomore year and I still forget which roads are one way only and which ones are not.

2. No Parking

With 40,000 students on campus and only about 17 parking spaces available at any given moment, frustration is always a given when driving on campus.

3. Tennessee Street

Just try driving from Monroe to Ocala at 5 p.m. and it will be enough to make yourself consider slitting your throat. The lanes are crazy narrow and college drivers are terrible. It's like the city of Tallahassee is asking for us to crash.

4. The Line In The Strozier Starbucks

It is not uncommon to wait a good 30 minutes in line to even get up to the cashier. And when you do finally get your drink, it's usually messed up. But college kids need their Starbs, so whatcha going to do about it?

5. Strozier In General

Between trying to find a seat on the second level or when you're on the third level and people don't stop talking no matter how many dirty looks you give them. And of course, you always see someone you know while looking your worst.

6. Hand Foot And Mouth Disease.

Leave it to good ole FSU to have this spreading around campus like wildfire. It's not just limited to HFM either; anytime someone is sick, half the campus is bound to get it too.

Gotta love college.

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.
