It's hard to go to school at FSU and not love it. Tallahassee is a little dream world and I sometimes forget that it isn't just a college town but actually the state capital. And while Florida State is the greatest school in the nation, there are a couple things that I, and the whole student body, could really do without.
1. One Way Streets
I don't know about you, but in my hometown, there is a grand total of zero one way streets. So, coming to Tallahassee where they are everywhere was quite the adjustment. Almost a month an a half into my sophomore year and I still forget which roads are one way only and which ones are not.
2. No Parking
With 40,000 students on campus and only about 17 parking spaces available at any given moment, frustration is always a given when driving on campus.
3. Tennessee Street
Just try driving from Monroe to Ocala at 5 p.m. and it will be enough to make yourself consider slitting your throat. The lanes are crazy narrow and college drivers are terrible. It's like the city of Tallahassee is asking for us to crash.
4. The Line In The Strozier Starbucks
It is not uncommon to wait a good 30 minutes in line to even get up to the cashier. And when you do finally get your drink, it's usually messed up. But college kids need their Starbs, so whatcha going to do about it?
5. Strozier In General
Between trying to find a seat on the second level or when you're on the third level and people don't stop talking no matter how many dirty looks you give them. And of course, you always see someone you know while looking your worst.
6. Hand Foot And Mouth Disease.
Leave it to good ole FSU to have this spreading around campus like wildfire. It's not just limited to HFM either; anytime someone is sick, half the campus is bound to get it too.
Gotta love college.
