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.

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.

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.
