If you are from the 904 you know the zip code is filled with a mix of good ole country boys living in cookie cutter suburbs next, the fancy soccer moms, and the high-class living on the beach movers and shakers. The Player's Championship is the one event that draws all of them in.

Whether you are there actually for the gold or to people watch the masses trying to be the next Ralph Lauren and Lilly Pullitzer supermodel, we can all agree that it is worth the traffic. This is the glory of the TPC as told by the crew of Parks and Rec.

1. More Potential Husbands than Match.com

Every attractive, pastel polo-dressed hottie comes out to the TPC, so, ladies, take your pick. This may be the only time these boys dress like real adults, but you're not complaining. You never knew you needed a pleated, plaid golf-clapping companion but maybe you're bound for a life of country clubs and sun hats.

2. Lemonade like Beyonce

If you're not part of the classy but lit like a lighthouse drunkies than you are probably running to get the best lemonade in the world. It makes for a cute picture, but you'll be going back for a refill ASAP.

3. Free Concert

A free country concert in Jacksonville ALWAYS brings a crowd, but something about putting it in the middle of the 17th hole really brings in the crowds. It's a mix of middle schoolers who's parents got forced to take them since kids get in for free and the die-hard country fans who have never once dressed up for a concert before, but made a sacrifice this one time to see Sam Hunt and Dierks Bentley up close and personal.

4.Military Appreciation Station

Jacksonville is a huge military town and we take any chance we can get to thank those who protect our great country. The military appreciation concert brings every military branch together to show the city just how lucky we are to live in the best country and city) in the world. 'Merica.

5. Golf...like it's actual purpose.

It's a golf tournament, people. There's actually professional golfers out there doing their thing. It's not just a lot of walking around someone's fancy lawn. Those hills you have never seen in Florida? Those have a purpose. The random boxes? Those are bunkers, not little dried up ponds. Most people are as every Bachelor contestant says, " not there for the right reasons" but for those who are, it is an amazing opportunity to see the best of the best.

6. High School Reunion

The TPC is just one big high school TBT. You end up seeing your ex-boyfriend, your old best friend, your lab partner's grandma, and the AP Bio teacher who never liked you. You avoid every single one at all costs because you honestly don't care how their small, irrelevant college is treating them as they purpose some boring major you know nothing about.

If you get caught and end up having to say enjoy racking your brain for some random fun fact about their lives so it doesn't like you purposefully erased their presence from your life. Go ahead, ask about the high school boyfriend you didn't know dumped her a year ago. At least you're trying!

7. HEAT

Congrats... you're about to spend an entire day in the pocket of Satan's winter coat set on fire. You will be a sweaty...but classy... mess before you even make it to the gate. Your make up will be melting off and your sticky boobs will be sliding to your knees.

You try your best to find shade, but it's a golf course, trees are not in high demand around here. Your effortless curls that actually took 2 hours of effort to master are a frizzy, flat mess. It feels like you ran a marathon in the desert and the heat has made you so exhausted and delirious that you start to think you actually did. Sunscreen and water misters can't save you here.

8.Leave the Rowdy at Home

You can't really heckle the bullpen when it's a golf tournament so save your inner rowdiness for the Jumbo Shrimp game next week/ Stick to the golf clap and pretend like you actually saw where the golf ball went. Don't be the person on their phone calling Jessica screaming about where she went and what's for dinner in the middle of William McGirt's tee. You will be golf-shamed.

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.
