FGCU Does Not Know What Its Students Need

Who wanted an 8 million dollar boardwalk?

Parking, all we want is parking!!! The struggle of having to make sure you arrive a whole hour before your class just to make sure you have enough time to find a space is insane. Not to mention it is so dangerous the fact that people are trying to race and fight over spaces because someone could get seriously injured or killed. Just build like one or two more garages or even more lots would work, something.

Parking is a big one but there are other things...

Fixing up North Lake, understandably this isn't a top priority but the place is falling apart, it's old and run down. There is mold growing in the bathrooms, the walls and floors are gross, not to mention the cabinetry is like falling apart. Like just a little bit of cosmetic fixes would do the job.

And offering more food options as well and giving better Sovi dining food.

People spend thousands of dollars to get a meal plan but the food makes people sick and the quality of it is horrible. There needs to just be a complete turn around in the campus dining. There should be more options for food on campus, add some variety like a salad bar type of place, or just maybe healthier options in general.

Covers over the boardwalks, because we do live in a state that it rains all the time, we also need better lighting on the boardwalks because it is very creepy to walk on the boardwalks at night.

There is a way to do it without disturbing the plant life surrounding the boardwalks, but it is just to keep students from getting soaking wet trying to walk to class. And not tripping or somehow walking into wildlife at night.

While FGCU has done a lot of beneficial things for its students, it needs to continue to listen to its students because they are the ones that deal with all of these things on a daily basis.

We love our campus but these things are to benefit us, future Eagles, and FGCU as a whole.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
