I Made A List Of FSU Study Abroad Exchanges So Now You Have To Go

Going abroad to Japan for almost 12 months was the most formative experience I have had in my adult life. I recommend it to all my friends- and did you know that you can go abroad and pay FSU tuition per class? Oh, and did I mention that most of your financial aid will also follow you abroad?

Below is a list of 12 different programs available university-wide, to most majors for the (following) fall term. You have no reason not to go! If you want more info about the programs there are information sessions hosted in the Globe (close to the Den) and most applications are due February 1st!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child.

It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
