10 Thing to Know Before Coming To LSU
Best Colleges Online

1) The entirety of "Callin' Baton Rouge" by Garth Brooks

And at least the chorus of "From Louisiana" and "Louisiana Saturday Night". No matter what bar or tailgate you go to, you'll hear all of these at least twice throughout your time there.

2) It's a marathon, not a sprint

SEC tailgating is like nothing you've ever experienced before, I'm just going to leave it at that.

3) Death Valley is louder than you'd expect

Sure everyone has told you this, but nobody can prepare you for the roar of that first home game.

4) The alma mater is law

No matter where you're from or where you're headed, you always grab whoever is next to you and sing the alma mater with your tiger family every football game. Sure, nobody gets the words right even though they're on the screen in front of us, but it is a beautiful bonding moment nonetheless.

5) LSU parking is no joke

PARK WHERE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO. Take it from someone who's been ticketed and towed for the smallest things, just follow the rules.

6) Outtakes/ Take 5

These are the best part of having a meal plan, its like having a super CVS within walking distance of your dorm, but the CVS has sushi, pizza and mozzarella sticks.

7) There is a Starbucks in the design building

LSU's best kept secret, and this one takes Starbucks gift cards, you're welcome.

8) The McDonald's in the Union is always serving ice cream

No really, throughout my time here their machine has never been broken. Yeah, a McDonald's where the ice cream machine always works. You read that right.

9) During exams there are stress dogs in Middleton Library

Honestly thats enough of a reason to love LSU I don't even need to say anything else.

10) LSU is Home

We're all tigers through and through, and nobody can take that away from us. Everyone here has purple and gold running through their veins and is going to welcome you into our community with as much love as they have to offer. This campus is our home, and we can't wait for it to be yours too.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
