The ABC's Of Flagler College
Kaitlyn Burke

You've known your ABC's since kindergarten, but now it's time for you to learn a completely new set of ABC's: Flagler College edition.

"Absolutely" no alcohol on campus:

Hide your flasks because this campus has a zero-tolerance policy towards alcohol, but then again some rules are made to be broken. ;)

Bridge of Lions:

Odds are interacting with this bridge is a daily occurrence, whether you drive over it to get to class and inevitably end up late because the drawbridge was up, or you find yourself walking over the bridge on a Saturday night for a night out with friends.

Carmelo's:

The ultimate convenience store for Flagler Students. I've mentioned before that no matter what time you go here, you will always see at least one person you know.

D-hall:

We love to hate it. Everyone complains at one point or another about the food, but over summer, you start to miss the unlimited supply of chocolate chip cookies.

Extreme flooding:

Cordova street is just a flat out mess after a few minutes of a downpour. Rainboots are a necessity for this reason alone.

Five Star Pizza:

Late night delivery is the reason this is a staple in every students diet.

Good Coffee:

Good coffee is not hard to come by in St. Augustine. Some say we have a caffeine addiction.

Hogwarts:

When people see photos of your college, most compare it to Hogwarts. Which is a valid comment because we actually do have a Harry Potter month. Every Potterhead's dream.

Interhall:

The first year of interhall hours for all dorm buildings! Please don't f*** it up and get the policy revoked.

Jimmy Buffet:

Rumors of Jimmy Buffet performing at Tradewinds Lounge during the 450th were sadly just rumors, though he has been known to grab a drink here from time to time.

Keystone:

Basically the least favorite gen. ed.

LMS:

The keeper of grades, assignments, resources, and syllabi, that no professor actually uses.

Meehans:

One of the best spots for a drink downtown! If you don't have a photo of you and your friends drinking a fishbowl, did it even happen?

National Monument:

Yea, we have a national monument within walking distance. Really it's no big deal.

Off-campus:

To live on-campus or to live off-campus, that it the question for every Flagler Student.

"Pocos":

Though it's actually Friday, if you're no longer a freshmen without a fake ID, please stop going here on Thursday nights.

Quiet hours:

It is always mind boggling when you get in trouble for being loud during quiet hours, but then also aggravating when your neighbors make all the noise and never get called out!

Rosie:

Everyone's favorite barista. If you're lucky she'll even give you a handmade guardian angel.

St. George Street:


Trolley Tours:

If you're walking downtown, you will see at least one trolley tour pass you. These things are everywhere!

Undefeated football team:

Yes, our football team is undefeated. Yes, it also does not exist.

Vacation:

Finally a real spring break. This is the first time in Flagler history that we are getting a real spring break! No more spring weekend for us!

West King:

Though this area is known to be super sketch, that hasn't stopped you from attending to a few parties on this side of town.

Xerox machines:

Does anyone know where they actually are?

"Yes, please":

Is your answer to when a d-hall employee asks if you would like chicken nuggets.

Zero motivation:

There is zero motivation to go to class on days like this:

Or on days like this:

If we're being honest here.


Now you all should know your Flagler ABC's.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
