5 Things I Did Not Appreciate About My Campus

This past week, I have spent far more time exploring Florida State's campus than I ever have. My friends and I spent the day walking around the different areas of campus because my friend just transferred here. Then, I decided to walk my boyfriend through campus since he has never been here! While doing that, I got to see so many different parts of campus that I never sat and appreciated before. I learned how beautiful my college truly is.

1. The secret study spots. 

If you would rather study somewhere secluded than party in Club Stroz, there are so many different places you could find on campus! I walked behind the Psychology building and found a cute little study spot where there was shade for when it is still hot, and not as crowded as most of our libraries. There is also a study spot right next to the Williams building that has umbrellas and tables set up and is seems like not many people take advantage of them!

2. The nature. 

I know it is obvious, FSU is beautiful. But, walking around the stadium and seeing all the trees lined up with some shedding leaves was simply breathtaking. Seeing seasons change here is so amazing and provides almost a calming feeling when you are there. I found myself constantly saying, "Wow our school really is so beautiful." Sometimes it takes a long walk to really let that set in I guess.

3. Heritage Tower 

Okay so I knew what Heritage Tower was, but have any of you actually looked at it up close? I know that sounds stupid but I had never really went and looked at it from more than a far distance away. But, the fountain echoes the style of all of our buildings on campus and includes the torch at the top which represents everything we work for at FSU. Plus, on a walk in the ninety degree weather...it is nice to get some of the mist from the fountain's flowing water on you.

4. Legacy Fountain 

This is something I always knew about, and spent a lot of time freshman year around. I know what it looks like and always did. But, when I took a step back and looked at the whole scenery surrounding the fountain and how beautiful it all came together, I was taken back. I was taken back by that and with all the memories that came back from freshman year. I never appreciated how many memories I made on campus.

5. The unity. 

Now I know this is not a spot on campus or anything. But, I noticed something about the students on campus. Despite the pandemic, I see so many students still spending time on campus (in the safe ways of course). Even with masks on, students play on Landis and get lunch at 1851 together! It makes me sad that we can not be in a state of normality but makes me so excited that despite the situation we are in, we all still love being Florida State Seminoles!

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.

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.
