What Your FSU Dorm Says About You

Deviney/Dorman

You are one lucky individual. You were blessed to get into one of the two newest dorms on campus. If you live in either Deviney or Dorman, you know what's up. You live the life and you aren't afraid to admit it. Every time you tell someone where you live, you get those envious looks (and you love it). Only being finished a mere two years ago, you embrace the cleanliness and good health of the actual buildings themselves. You also have become appreciative of the relatively close proximity to the best parts of campus: the union, Leach, and Landis Green. And let's not forget... after a late night out, nights ending in The Den are just that much easier considering you can crawl to your dorm after the fact.

Wildwood 1/Wildwood 2

If you live in Wildwood, you probably hate the Marching Chiefs more than ANYONE else in the entire school. You know that you don't need an alarm clock Saturday morning because "like a good neighbor"... the Marching Chiefs are ALWAYS there. You know that afternoon naps just can't be a thing and you know that studying in your room is far from being an easy task. Living in Wildwood, you feel blessed for your close distance to Leach, but probably still claim it's "too far" and that you're "too lazy" to actually go. On exam days, you appreciate your close proximity to the stadium knowing that it's a straight walk through the parking lot. But even though you have all these benefits, you still can't help or hide your slight and secret hatred for the war chant.

DeGraff

Living in Degraff, you probably feel isolated from the rest of campus. However, you embrace the fact that you're literally right next to the strip. Every time your friends decide on a whim they all want to hang out in one of their dorms, you sigh at the fact that that would involve you walking all the way across campus. Speaking of walking across campus, you probably have the SAFE bus saved into your contacts in order to avoid the dark, lonely walk back to your building. But I mean, who would wanna walk through that tunnel?

Landis/Gilchrist/Cawthon

If you live in one of these dorms, you have certainly grown to appreciate the factor of convenience. Your 2AM walks back from Strozier are a bit less frightening knowing your dorm is just footsteps away. Overall, you get the beauty of being on Landis Green and you're in close proximity to the Union AND Chick-fil-A, what more do you need in life?

Ragans/Traditions

Lucky you... you've avoided one of the most difficult aspects of college life: living with other people. Apartment style dorms allow you to live large and you can't imagine the idea of not having your own room to go to or your own kitchen to cook in (even though you probably never use it). Every time one of your friends talks about the struggle of sharing a room with another person, you tend to just sit there and have a good laugh. Your friends "hate you cuz they ain't you", but you still got it going for ya. So props to you and your parents' wallets for allowing you to live in luxury.

Jennie Murphree/Reynolds/Bryan

Living in any of these three dorms, you can probably relate to the worry you have of gaining the "freshman 15." For starters, you're located twenty minutes away from the gym, you're located right by the Chick-fil-A, and you're located right by Suwannee. Considering it's required in all three of these residence halls to have a meal plan, you probably spend a decent amount of time in Suwannee. You know there are pros and cons to eating at a dining hall, but the most obvious is your ability to take as much food as you would like. Some may see this as a pro, some may see this as a con. However, if you're actually worried about gaining those fifteen pounds, learn to control yourself and stay away from Suwannee's fried chicken, pizza, and soft-serve ice cream.

McCollum/Rogers

If you live in either McCollum or Rogers, you know they both have their pros and cons. You live in the middle of absolute nowhere and likely feel the need to punch every DeGraff-er who complains about living "out of the way" from everything. You can't stand the 20 minute walk to Strozier, so you've probably gotten to know Dirac fairly well. Specifically for you McCollum residents, on a positive note, you've grown to appreciate those cool nights out on the balcony, something your other friends don't have luxury of. Overall, however, you still constantly ponder why your hall, whether you live in McCollum or Rogers, looks more like a prisoner containment center than anything else.

Salley

Living in Salley, you constantly are faced with dirty looks and apologetic reactions when people ask your current residence. Consequently, you probably do one of two things: complain all the time about how terrible it is and/or try to convince your friends why it's "not so bad" in order to make yourself feel better. Overall, you probably don't spend too much time in your bedroom, considering it's about the size of a prison cell. But as a result, you and the other residents have built a strong community out of the pain you all share. Look at the bright side, they closed down Smith and knocked down Kellum before you got here. Three cheers for the Salley Slums.

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.
