Ah, The Strip. To someone who doesn't attend Florida State, hearing those two words doesn't trigger any emotion. To us, here in Tallahassee, those two words never fail to make us feel some type of way. A night out at The Strip is many things, but itā€™s certainly never boring. That being said, here are the 30 different types of people that youā€™re guaranteed to run into at The Strip. If youā€™re reading this, you relate to at least one of the people below.


1. The Freshman/Tequila Sunrise Girl

You just want to snatch it out of her hand but you also kind of want to see what happens after she drinks eight of them.


2. The Waltzing Girl

She has been waiting for this day since she first walked into The Strip, and now the time has finally come for her to stand on the bar at Ken's and sing "Sweet Caroline."


3. The Guy Who Knows Literally Everyone

He also knows everyone on staff.


4. The 60-Year-Old Man Who Didn't Come With Anyone Else

He's always alone but manages to have the time of his life.


5. The Guy Who Should Be Studying And Knows It

He's constantly complaining and drinking Vodka Water Limes.


6. The Wandering Girl

Her friends can't find her and she can't really even find herself.


7. The Girl Who Claims She Hates The Strip But Is There Every Saturday Night

Stop telling us that, "Pot's is soooooo much better." We know you're just trying to play cool, sweetie.


8. The Girl Who Actually Hates The Strip And Is There Every Saturday Night

At least she's putting in the effort.


9. The Girl Wearing Leggings And A T-Shirt

She deserves an award for the lack of insecurity that it takes to show up to A.Y.C.D. in what she was wearing at Stroz fifteen minutes earlier.


10. Kevin, The Security Guard

We all know him. We all love him.


11. The Bouncer Who Definitely Knows That Your Real Name Isn't Rhonda

He lets you in any way because you're #pretty.


12. The Guy Who Keeps Bugging His Friends To Go To TENN Instead

He's also the one complaining the whole time when TENN isn't open.


13. Floor Girl

This is the girl that everyone is stepping over while leaving Yianni's.


14. The Graduating Senior Who Is Taking Advantage Of A.Y.C.D. While He Still Can

:(


15. Mitchell Geezil

Self-explanatory.


16. The Guy Who Won't Shut Up About His Mug

I will personally smash your mug on the tile floor if you bring it up one more time.


17. The First-Timer

Everyone remembers their first time.


18. The Girl With The Recycled Band

We see right through your printer-copied bracelet, honey.


19. The "Sophisticated" Drinker

We get it; you only drink top shelf liquor.


20. The Shot Master

When he's not handing out shots, he's ordering more.


21. The Girl Who Went Too Hard At The Pregame

She's blacked out at 9 p.m.


22. The Humble Student-Athlete

"Hey did you know I'm on the basketball team?" Yes, in fact, I did (because you have now used that as a pickup line four times tonight).


23. The Guy's-Bathroom Girl

We've all seen a girl try to pee in the urinal at Ken's.


24. The Random UF Guy In The Corner

Are weekends a little too boring down there in Gainesville? #ItsGreatUF


25. The Guy Who You've Made Out With Multiple Times But Refuse To Make Eye Contact With

He knows. You know. The bartenders know. We all know.


26. The Spill Girl

She's the reason you've considered bringing an extra shirt.


27. The "I Can And Will Fight Anyone In This Bar" Guy

Don't be this guy.


28. The Crier

Someone needs to put her in an Uber already.


29. The Guy Meeting Up With A Tinder Match For The First Time

I'm cringing from across the bar.


30. Me

See you there next weekend.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
