The 9 Types Of People You Meet During Your First Week At FSU

You'll probably end up regretting saying hey to half of them.

The 9 Types Of People You Meet During Your First Week At FSU
Visions of Travel

Even with over 40,000 Undergraduate students alone, you're bound to run into the the same people your first few weeks at Florida State University.

1. The guy who is basically already in a fraternity.

He spent all of Summer C orbiting the current members and trying to go to their events. He says he’s guaranteed a spot and just has to go through rush as a formality. He’s already convinced that it’s the best brotherhood on campus and maybe the world.

2. The girl who went through recruitment.

She won’t just tell you, she’ll tell the guy next to you, the girl she met in the bathroom, and the professor. While the week itself is strenuous so is hearing about it for a solid week from every third girl you introduce yourself to on the first week of classes.

3. The kid that has never partied before in their life until now.

This one is easy to spot. They will talk about how hungover they are for their 8 A.M. on Monday. They will casually mention how they would be asleep if it weren’t for the first day drop policy. They will undoubtedly tell you about their plans to go out again tonight, and they will probably ask your opinion of all the bars and clubs in Tallahassee and then tell you why you’re wrong.

4. The honors student.

They will shush you for whispering to them a question while the professor is talking. They are also most likely to ask, “What will you do with that” when you tell them a non-STEM major.

5. The campus ambassador.

They may or may not actually be a campus ambassador. They did overhear you thinking you were walking the wrong direction and tried to help you. In your short conversation they managed to say “Go ‘Noles” three times and worked in their favorite tradition at FSU. They will do great things.

6. The over-sharer.

This is the person you meet that you really regret meeting. The last thing you said was “nice to meet you” because as soon as you introduced yourself they took the conversation’s reigns. After a brief period of zoning out you now know where they are from, how many animals they have, their longest relationship, and their blood type.

7. The question asker.

Nobody really likes them, even professors. When they say there are no dumb questions they are referring to all questions not asked by them. A red flag is if they start their statement with “just to clarify.” Not only is the answer to their question in the syllabus but also Becky from Tampa just asked the same question a few minutes earlier.

8. Everyone from Miami.

Whether it’s their interesting fact, their favorite thing about them, why they chose Florida state or where they’re from, somehow people from Miami always manage to mention that they’re from Miami. We get that you’re from the “oh so live, 3-0-5” but when half of the student population is as well, the complaining about the lack of large building and presence of trees becomes really annoying.

9. The locals.

This may be the worst one yet. They will use the fact that they were born in this town to explain everything. How do you know you’re way around so well? I’m a local. Why aren’t you dying in this humidity? I’m a local. How did you know the professor before the first day of class? I’m a local.

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.

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.
