Thanksgiving break is just around the corner, and with that comes the notorious FSU vs. UF rivalry game. Us Noles wait all year for this game, because its our chance to show them Gators just how big we do it here in Tally, and it's glorious. Individuals wearing the forbidden color combination that is blue and orange, flock to North Florida for the game of the year, and quickly come to the realization that they ain't in Gainesville anymore. They're now in the land of champions, and I'm not just talking about our football team. Win or lose, Florida State has never lost a tailgate.The only problem with this setup is when the game is at UF. The real question is, why would anyone in their right mind actually go to the home of our sworn enemies when we already have it all right here in Tallahassee? The answer is, you don't.


Here are all the reasons you need to not attend the Florida State at University of Florida game.


1. You can stay home for an extra day of break instead and watch the game from the comfort of your own couch.

2. You can go back to Tally a day early and attend a viewing part with your fellow Noles.

3. It's UF.

4. The weather is humid, muggy, oppressive and any other synonym that could be used to describe the swamp that is Gainesville.

Pretty much, it's gross and we're all probably better off avoiding this place at all costs.

5. Their color combination clashes and it's just not fair to the world.

6. You will be surrounded by the worst breed of human there is: Gator fans.

7. Not to mention, these Gator fans will definitely try to start a fight with you, probably do their stupid chomp right in your face, and talk all types of crap when, in reality, they'll never have the same pride for their team like we have for our Noles.

8. Their biggest, craziest weekend is equivalent to our away game viewing parties.

9. Their nightlife doesn't even compare to Tallahassee's.

Actually their nightlife is almost nonexistent. So, once the game is over you'll either end up back at one of the trashed fraternities, or at a house party that will make you feel like you're back in high school.


10. There really isn't much to do in Gainesville at all.

Other than a sad excuse for tailgates, a few house parties, and some decent places to eat, there's pretty much nothing but swamp.

If you do happen to attend the FSU @ UF game, at least you will come back with even more love for Florida State then you had before. You will gain a better understanding of just how amazing our sports are, just how beautiful our campus is, and just how big we do everything here in Tallahassee.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
