As Christmas break is coming to an end and your return to Tallahassee is creeping up on you, here are a few things to look forward to getting back to.
1. Your friends
Every one has their friends from back home that they still remain in touch with but nothing compares to the new friendships you have gained in college. These are the people who you go out with every Friday night, the ones you study with at Stroz and most importantly they are the ones who have given you a home away from home.
2. Happy Hour
Whether you are a Clydes or Potts person, you know you can wait to get back to going to happy hour every Friday with your friends. Or those $5 Taylor Mades.
3. Syllabus Week
The one week where it is perfectly accebtable to go out every night. Well as long as you make it to that first day of class.
4. Fraternity Rush
One of the only weeks in Tallahassee where you can guarantee every bar will be rented out and filled with frat boys.
5. Township
It may have only opened a few short weeks ago, but its humongous beers already hold a spot in your heart.
6. Freedom a.k.a. No Parents
Back in Tallahassee you have nobody to report to or curfew to be home by. You can do whatever you want, whenever you want.
7. Late Night Taco Bell Runs
Those nights when you get the munchies and head to Taco Bells to binge eat burrito supremes and nachos. Yeah, well your mom isn't in Tallahassee to judge and that makes it all the better.
8. Newks
Once you go Newks, you never go back (to Panera).
9. Standard
I am 99% sure that nobody has a bar at home that even comes close to Standards. Being packed in like sardines while a puddle of fallen drinks pools around your new shoes, nothing compares to the memories you have of Standard.
10. Starbucks On Every Corner
In Tallahassee you never have to drive more than five minutes to get to a Starbucks.
11. Personal Space
Sometimes we just want to lay in bed all day and binge watch Netflix. Without anybody giving us the side eye. And in Tallahassee we can do that.
12. Not Having To Wear Pants
Every once in a while we like to walk around the house with out pants on until 5pm but this is impossible to do back home when you have family surrounding you 24/7.
13. Madison Social Drinking Challenge
What makes a free t-shirt even better is the challenge of finishing 10 drinks before you get it.
14. 3 AM Chick-Fil-A.
Nothing compares to going to Chick-Fil-A at 2:59 a.m. and still being able to get that chicken biscuit you have been craving at the bar all night.
15. College Town Bubble
Being in Tallahassee means that you are constantly surrounded by college students with everything you need within walking distance; Chipotle, bars and Stroz.
