12 Thoughts Every FSU Student Has During The First Weeks Of Class

7. I have 15 minutes to get from the stadium to Williams, and it's 97 degrees. I'm pretty sure this counts as cruel and unusual punishment.

12 Thoughts Every FSU Student Has During The First Weeks Of Class
Florida State University - A Preeminent University on YouTube

Welcome back, Noles! Whether you're new to Tally or a seasoned veteran on campus, there are some thoughts that are common to all of us as we try to force ourselves back into the Fall semester mindset.

1. Why is everybody wearing FSU T-shirts? You're in this class; we know where you go to school.

For real, what is up with this, guys? Is it school spirit? Who's even exciting for the first day of class????

2. And why are so many people wearing college T-Shirts that aren't from here? 

You don't go there! You go here! GO NOLES!

3. When is this (inevitable) hurricane going to hit us?

Every. Damn. Year.

4. WHERE AM I SUPPOSED TO PARK?

Because if you don't get there at 8, you may as well turn around.

5. Where's the best bathroom on campus?

How do humans manage to make such big messes? (Pro tip: 2nd floor Dodd Hall)

6. Why can't we just win a season opening football game for once?

We did not just spend 3 days tailgating for this, come on, Noles, get it together.

7. I have 15 minutes to get from The Stadium to Williams, and it's 97 degrees and HUMID

I'm pretty sure this counts as cruel and unusual punishment.

8. When will they tear down Salley Hall?

We love her, but that building is a HAZARD.

9. This line is so long, and I just want my iced coffee

Starbucks Stroz is a power move, but you'd better clear your schedule.

10. Will my T.A. be hot?

And how many times can I go to office hours without seeming creepy?

11. Hand-foot-mouth disease. Detonated World War Two bombs. What's next?!

There always seems to be some weird and obscure fall semester emergency (and it usually coincides with the hurricane making landfall.)

12. I love my school. 

Despite all of this ridiculousness, Florida State University is a great place to spend our college years.

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.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.
