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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
