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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
