5 Reasons It's Perfectly Understandable To Cry In A Corner At FGCU

A few reasons crying in a corner at FGCU will make your fellow Eagles say, "same."

FGCU is by far the best school I could have attended. It's beautiful, scenic, and has everything I need in a school and home. That being said, we FGCU students stick together when it comes to some "just FGCU things" that only we can understand. We keep it real. That's why there are a few reasons crying in a corner at FGCU will make your fellow Eagles say, "same."

1. Parking- in every sense of the word.

As a frequenter of FGCU, it's likely that you've been in a hurry and found yourself battling-it-out for a parking spot that you have yet to find. While you're trapped in a parking garage with three minutes to spare before class, it's perfectly OK to have a good, hard cry.

2. Marieb vs. Merwin: The Saga.

I can't be the only one who even still struggles to remember the proper names for each building. When alliteration is at play, your chances of showing up to Biology class as an English major begin to skyrocket. Don't worry, you'll probably get the hang of it eventually.

3. Your Tapingo order is taking longer than you anticipated.

I can honestly say that Tapingo has saved me more times than it's ever let me down. 10/10 recommend. However, some days being busier than others for the on-campus restaurants, and when your food (or worse off, your coffee…) isn't ready when Tapingo said it'd be, the hanger is bound to set in. Don't be afraid to let it out; we get it.

4. You almost got run over by a college student on-wheels...

... for the third time today. It doesn't matter if you're on a sidewalk; that kid on his skateboard is waiting around the corner for you to cross his path.

5. When time and proximity are against you.

Class in the Library until 8:30, and one in Lutgert at 8:35? Say no more.

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.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
