All Florida State University students have faced the uncertainty of not really knowing what to bring with them for their stay in Tallahassee. Some students go way overboard and bring their whole house (and then some), while others bring a blanket, a few sets of clothes, and maybe a toothbrush. No need to search any further for what your #FSU23 Seminole needs, the most important things are right here.

1. A key ring for their keys.

The most obvious giveaway that someone's a freshman? Having a lanyard that holds all of their keys. We can hear you coming from a mile away.

2. $30 to pay off a future parking ticket.

Sorry, Charlie, this isn't the kind of ticket you want to find. There are thousands of people at Florida State every day. Do you really think your new Nole is going to find a parking spot that they're allowed to park every single day?

3. An Uber gift card.

Freshmen never knows their limits. Make sure your new Nole has a way to get home from the pregame because they got too white girl wasted to even make it to the function. #DriveSober.

4. Your old Francois jersey.

Especially great for the new Noles who aren't so sports-savvy. They'll think he's actually on the team!

5. Robitussin and cough drops.

Your new Nole is bound to catch something at LEAST once during their time at Florida State. Save them a trip to the Health and Wellness Center and just buy them some medication before they're infected by the plague.

6. A water spray bottle.

To spray at anyone who catcalls your new Nole, ESPECIALLY the Pikes.

7. Pedialyte.

For the nights when your new Nole's beverage of choice wasn't exactly one they're supposed to be drinking.

8. A hand strengthener.

The perfect gift to help your new Nole prepare for all of the swiping they'll be doing on Tinder.

9. Rhymes with "swan gums."

The supplies in Strozier, Dirac, and the Health and Wellness Center run out all the time. Make sure your new Nole is protected.

10. Bleach.

Your new Nole is going to experience night life by visiting Tally spots like the Strip, Baja's, and Happy Hour at Pot's. They're definitely going to need some bleach to baptize their shoes after a night out.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
