8 Places You Have To Take Photos At When Graduating From UCF

Last week, I took my graduation photos! And if you know anything about me, I always plan things at the last minute. The night before, I was scrambling around Target looking for a dress, glitter, and a cheap bottle of champagne. It wasn't until I woke up the next morning, an hour before the shoot, that I had completely forgotten where

I wanted to take my pictures.

Luckily for me, UCF has the best locations for graduation photos. From the reflection pond to the Arboretum, to even some of the classrooms on campus, UCF has a lot to offer when it's time to pose for grad photos! For everyone who is looking for some inspiration for grad photos, here are some amazing locations here at UCF.

1. The Reflection Pond (obviously).

The most iconic photo op is definitely the reflection pond in front of the library. We only get to step into the pond once a year, twice if you're graduating. At least this time no one is trying to trample you trying to get a rubber duck!

2. The seal in the Student Union (again, obviously).

This seal is roped off all year. some even say if you step on it you won't be able to pass your finals, but it makes for some really cool cap and gown pics!

3. The Student Union boardwalk.

It might feel hot and muggy in the summer and infested with squirrels all year round, but the woodsy background is absolutely stunning photos.

4. Memory Mall.

What isn't there to take pictures with here? You have the ROTC building, the iconic Victory Knight statue, and even large patches of grass to take cute photos on the ground. Also, you can never go wrong with a good 'blowing glitter' shot here as well.

Side note: You can literally do this glitter shot literally anywhere on campus. Just take a look next time you are walking around campus.

5. Spectrum Stadium.

We spent a lot of our time during fall semester here. It makes for amazing photos. Extra points if you take a photo of you scoring a touchdown.

6. Under the Elms.

UCF has a lot of walkways that are covered with trees. These areas make for amazing lighting and cool effects.

7. This stained glass window in the library.

Whoever thought that the place where most of us had cried during finals week turns out to be one of the most stunning photo ops on campus? This hidden gem in our own campus library makes for the perfect shadow outline photo.

8. One of your former classrooms.

What better way to remember your college career than by taking photos of the places you spent the most time in – your classrooms? It's definitely a less populated spot to take photos, so you get to be creative and take as much time as you'd like.


UCF has many beautiful locations around campus. Every year we seem to find more places that need be taken advantage of. No matter where you decide to take your photos, either this semester, next, or even a year or two down the road, they are going to look amazing either way.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
