10 Struggles All GCSU Students Understand

Chances are, if you attend Georgia College, you love it here. We have a beautiful campus full of friendly faces. There's plenty of ways to get involved- whether it's greek life, intramurals, or one of the various clubs offered. However, there are some universal struggles that all GCSU students can relate to:

1. It is impossible to walk outside at night without seeing a cockroach

The cockroaches out on the sidewalks used to gross me out so much. Now? They don't even phase me (okay maybe a little).


2. The arm workout you get when the handicap button on the doors are broken

Let's be real here, those doors are so heavy. Sorry to all the people behind me who I couldn't hold the door open for.



3. "Wait, you go to Georgia State right?"

It's GCSU not GSU!



4. Better yet, no one knows where your school is

"Where's that?", "Milledgeville", "Where's that??" Come on people, it used to be the old state capitol!



5. Your chance of finding an open study room is equivalent to winning the lottery

I am not exaggerating, it is actually impossible to find a study room that is free. Bonus points for the later you get into the semester.


6. The strict dress code of the Wellness Center

What do you mean I can't wear a tank top?

7. The limited number of washers and dryers in the dorms

If you plan to do your laundry on a Sunday, then forget it. All four washers are probably full again!


8. When you want to go shopping but your best option is the small

Okay so do you want to go to Rue 21 or TJ Maxx?

9. Finding a decent parking spot is impossible

Yes, I just walked half a mile from my car. No, there weren't any other spaces.

10. Trying to get to your class in A&S without being handed a million flyers

Yes, your event sounds very cool but I'm running late to class right now.


At the end of the day, we still love GCSU and are proud to call ourselves a bobcat despite some of its struggles.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
