MSU Freshman Bucket List

During college, it is so easy to get in a normal routine. While this is necessary as a student, it is also fun to spice up your life and try new things. So, here is a MSU " bucket list" of activities to try during your time at Mississippi State.

Go to the Sanderson Center

This is hands down one of the coolest facilities I have ever been to. From a pool to rock climbing, it has everything. I recommend trying one of the free workout classes the Sanderson offers because they are so fun it seems like you are not even working out !

2. The Templeton

For some reason, this place is such a hidden gem at MSU. It is the cafeteria designated for student athletes, but what many people do not know is that anyone can eat there. Let me tell you this place serves some five course meals. I had potatoes, asparagus, and steak there the other day, and my mouth was drooling. It only takes up two block meals for the regular students like us.

3. Going Out on the Town

Starkville is one of the coolest towns and the nightlife is definently underrated. Starkville has countless places for some nightlife entertainment. My favorite is easily Tuesday Karaoke nights at Hobie's- it is a classic. What is so nice about the nightlife in Starkville is that many places are also 18+, so just because you aren't 21 doesn't mean you miss out on all the fun.

4. Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge

I know this seems crazy, but driving through "the refuge" is one of my favorite things to do. I love going out there with friends and looking our beautiful state, and it is also one of the best places for some quiet time.

5. Breakfast at Starkville Cafe

Breakfast at the Starkville cafe is unbeatable. The food and coffee is amazing and it also gives off Gilmore Girls vibes (small town diner). It is such a nice place for a Sunday brunch, but you have to beat the crowd! Lunch and Dinner are also amazing there!

6. Cookie dough bites from Stromboli's

This dessert taste like Heaven on Earth. The fried cookie dough is indescribable, so I will keep it short. Just trust me on this, you have to try this out!!

7. Sporting Events

MSU easily does sporting events the best. We have the best fans and it makes any event so much more enjoyable. Please go to at least one, it does not matter which sport. No matter what though, you have to ring a cowbell to give yourself the real feel of a true maroon fan.

These are just a few of the activities that I have tried so far at MSU, and most people I know have also tried at least one of these things. I know this list is random and mostly pertaining to food (sorry just my kind of idea of fun), Needless to say Starkville not only has the best eats but really fun activities to try with friends. These are some of my favorite things I have done/ tried so far as a student at Mississippi State, and I can assure you it is so worth it! But, if these are not your cup of tea I can assure you that you will find a way to pass the time in Starkville because it is truly the best college town (I know I'm being bias though, sorry about it).

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
