I Love FSU But I Could Do Without These Things

Actually, couldn't we all?

I Love FSU But I Could Do Without These Things
Colin Hackley

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.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
