TCC, FSU and FAMU kids can all agree.

10 Things Tallahassee Native College Students Are Tired Of Hearing
Hunter Clark

1. "You must go to a lot of parties."

Actually, no. While I'm always up for a good time and having fun, I don't define fun entirely by how much alcohol I'm consuming. A Friday night for me will usually consist of hanging out with the same people I always do while at the same time trying to be in bed early enough to where I get enough rest for my 11-4 Saturday shift.

2. "So your parents must have gone to the college in your hometown."

Kinda. My mom graduated with her AA from the community college and I'm still not sure about my dad but no, neither of them graduated or even attended Florida State.

3. "Do you go to all the football games?"

Okay, this one is a yes. Even when I went to a college 4 hours south I would make the long drive to cheer on my Noles.

4. "Did you not get into FSU?"

Contrary to what you may think, my first choice school wasn't Florida State, it was actually a small christian school in Lakeland, FL and when I left there after two semesters I transferred to community college. In fact, I didn't even apply to FSU.

5. "Do you want to go to Chipotle?"

No. My heart belongs to Moes and Moes only. You can have your oh-so-precious burrito bowl and I'll enjoy my tofu stack and free chips.

6. "The beach is so far..."

Fam, if you drive south a little longer than an hour and you are going to drive into the Gulf of Mexico. For the Tallahassee college students who don't know, the closest beach is 54 minutes away and Wakulla Springs is even less than that.

7. "Tallahassee, more like Tallanasty."

Please take a day to enjoy one of the countries best Parks and Rec programs and in addition to that take a drive down a canopy road while you're at it. Tally is the best and Gainesville is called the swamp for a reason.

8. "There's nothing to do."

Well we've all said this at some point, but go try living in Lakeland, FL for a year and then maybe I'll listen.

9. "Why are you obsessed with Whataburger?"

Why aren't you? It's always open, reasonably priced and the food is consistently good. My reaction to someone saying they don't like Whataburger is the same as someone saying they're a gator fan.

10. "You must be dying to get out of this town."

I was and now I couldn't be happier to be back, Tallahassee is the best college town there is and I couldn't be more proud of my 850 area code.

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.
