Mississippi State University
Mark Twain once said, "To understand the world, you must understand a place like Mississippi."

Anybody who has even visited Mississippi State knows that Mississippi State is a unique place and has lots of special places that MSU one of a kind. Here are just twenty-six (out of very many) of those special places, events, things, and more listed from A-Z that make Starkville, Mississippi a special place and where we wanted to spend the best four (or maybe more) years of our lives.

Allen Hall

Having a class here is a right of passage.

Baseball

It's kind of a big deal.

Cowbell

Also known as, "The only perscription."

Davis Wade Stadium

Also known as "The loudest stadium," and yes we earned that title.

Egg Bowl

Veruca Salt and Mississippi State have one thing in common, we both just really want that Golden Egg.

Fraternity Row

So many memories.

Greek Bus

The place where you will see at least one person that you will recognize.

Humphrey Couselium

"Basketball is my favorite sport. I love the way they dribble up and down the court..."

Insomnia Cookies

When you cannot sleep, the logical thing is to get cookies delivered to your door, right?

Junction

The hardest place to find your friends.

KFC

Yes, we actually have one of these in Starkville.

Left Field Longue

It was the best of times until the renovations took our beloved longue away.

McCool Hall

If you haven't posted a Snapchat story of yourself studying late at night in this building then do you really go to Mississippi State?

Nine Two Nine

If you have not posted an Instagram story of you drinking coffee and studying here then do you actually go to Mississippi State?

Old Main Academic Center

The newest and nicest building at Mississippi State.

Parking Services

It's a nice feeling to know that even Nick Fitzgerald has trouble parking just like the rest of it.


Quidditch

Yes, we offer a Quidditch class for freshman. We are that cool.

Rick's Cafe

So many date parties, so many swaps, so many concerts, so much fun.

Super Bulldog Weekend

Also known as the greatest weekend of the year.

The Cotton District

The place that makes you feel like you're in Europe instead of Mississippi.

U.S. Rocks

If you haven't seen these guys perform are you even a college student?

(The) Veranda

The place we wish we could afford.

Women's Basketball

Let's give it up for these ladies!

XC

Cross country, their sport is your sport's punishment.

Youth Camps

Mississippi State not only provides an educational opportunity for college students but for elementary, middle school and high-school students as well.

Zacharias Village

It is the gem of North Zone.

If their were more letters in the alphabet I am sure Mississippi State would have a person, place or thing for that.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair
Tumblr

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
