The ABC's Of Florida State University
Florida State University

Tallahassee, Florida is home to the Capitol and the ever-so incredible, Florida State University. After attending FSU for almost four years, I'd say I have learned the tricks of the trade. Tally is one interesting place filled with a little bit of everything. Between the academia, the night-life scene, and walking up the steepest hills just to get to class, it doesn't take long to figure out the ABC's of Florida State University.


A is for Academics.

One of the top universities in the nation? Yep.

B is for Baby Bio.

I never thought I'd learn about dinosaurs in college.

C is for (Summer) C.

Every Freshman's dream come true and every Upperclassman's nightmare.

D is for Diffenbaugh hill.

Don't worry, everyone feels like they just climbed Mt. Everest, too, you're not totally out of shape.

E is for Everyone is at Stroz.

There are no tables, everyone you know is at the library tonight, and you have a test in 12 hours.

F is for Football Season.

Or, as the rest of the world calls it, "Fall."

G is for Greatest school in the nation.

Check.

H is for Homecoming Parade.

You know it fires you up.

I is for IM's.

Do it for the t-shirt.

J is for Jennie Murphie.

You know you're old when you were a student and when it was a womens-only dorm.

K is for Ken's.

"Dixieland Delight" is playing and all is right with the wold.

L is for Leach.

"Are you a Leach person or do you go to the FMC?"

M is for Madison Social.

BLT dip and the best Twitter game in all of Tallahassee.

N is for No parking.

Ever find a parking spot in Traditions? Yeah, me neither.

O is for Oglesby Union.

Is it just me, or are they always playing really good music.

P is for Pot's.

"Is the Beer Garden line open?"

Q is for Questionable living in Smith Hall.

No one should have been living in Smith Hall after the 80s. May she rest in peace.

R is for the Rez.

A day at the lake to escape the stress is only a 15 minute drive away.

S is for Standard.

You either love 'Dard or you want that place burned to the ground. There is no in-between.

T is for Tennessee Street.

Home of 75% of the restaurants near campus and the worst road to drive on.

U is for (Down) Under.

Club Down Under is low-key home to some of the best entertainment in Tally.

V is for Views.

I mean, have you looked at our campus.

W is for "What-What."

THERE IS NO "WHAT-WHAT" IN THE FIGHT SONG.

X is for (E)xpletives you scream during class registration.

Of course the one class you need next semester is full, of course it is.

Y is for Y-bomb.

When you leave Tallahassee and explain what these are to other people they will be in awe and/or concerned for you.

Z is for Z-Baked.

You can get cookies delivered to you after a long night at the library or a long night on College Ave. Either way, that's a good night.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
