1. "You may cross Pelham Street"

We all know that without the same old, annoying voice telling you, "You May Cross Pelham Street", we would be in a situation like this. I don't even know what to call her but she knows whats up. She is like your own personal guardian angel. She will make sure you get to your classes safely but her robotic voice will echo in the back of your head for the rest of the afternoon.

2. Unnecessary red-light in front of McDonald's

We all know you've secretly wanted to do this at that unnecessary red-light in front of McDonald's. I've thought of doing it several times. It's very inconvenient and shouldn't be there. If you do decide to run it one day and I watch this happen, I will not judge.

3. Gameday Traffic


This is a typical Jacksonville evening after a football or basketball game. Everyone has been stuck in Jacksonville traffic like this a few times in their life. That morning you wake up you're ready to cheer those Gamecocks on and then the game is over and the real fun begins: getting home. You're pretty sure you may have an aneurysm after yelling at the vehicles in front of you to move.

4. The long walk to Stone Center

On a hot summers day, you decide you wanna enjoy the nice weather and walk to class.... Everyone knows the feeling of walking to Stone Center on a hot day. You get there looking like you just went for a swim. If I were you, I'd tell people that.

5. Flexing Someone in

We all know those people who have money but give you this look when they see you have flex. You can't go anywhere throughout the week without someone wanting you to "flex them in". Once they get their food they give you this look and inside you're screaming "I HATE YOU!".

6. Freshman 15

This is real! I repeat this is real !!!! Those trips to the WOW! Cafe and Chick-fil-A start becoming an everyday thing. The following semester you notice that brand new pair of jeans won't button and your shirts have mysteriously shrunk in the washer. You have to go buy a size up for all of your clothes or everyone will think you're wearing clothes from Baby GAP. When you hear the words "Freshman 15", don't pretend it's not a thing, if you do, give it a semester and you won't be able to slide into those jeans as easy as you could before.

7. Squirrels


You can't walk to class and not see at least a couple thousand squirrels running around the place. You feel as if one day they are going to take everyone hostage, planning some secret attack and you'll never see it coming. Those suckers are ballsy and don't scare easy. One day they'll make a movie based off of JSU and call it "Revenge of the Squirrels".

8. If you Don't support JSU sports teams, "Get Out!" But really, get out.

If this isn't you for any JSU sporting event, I hate you. We all know you're busy with work or homework but honestly, If you don't like or even watch our teams dominate, there is a very easy process you can go through - transfer!

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.
