Why I Love Florida State University
Gabrielle Silberman

Dear Florida State University,

Thank you for giving me one of the best experiences of my life. You are so warm and welcoming. I couldn't have seen myself anywhere else. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. You have introduced me to my best friends. You have been with me through it all. You have seen me at my worst. You have seen me at my best. You have led me to new places. You continuously help shape me into the individual that I am today and will be tomorrow.

You have given me the best nights out. The nights that I will never forget. And the mornings I will shamelessly never forget. You have filled my heart with love and laughter. You have pushed me to make a name for myself. I am proud to be a part of something much bigger than myself. Thank you for entertaining me. Thank you for having an incredible football team that I can root for every weekend. You have truly shown me what it means to be a Florida State Seminole.

Thank you for letting me change my major a million times before I found the perfect one for me. Because of you I learned how to take charge of my goals and aspirations. Thank you for allowing me to fall in love with everything you had to offer. You maybe even made it a little too easy.

You have introduced me to organizations that have changed my life in ways that I never thought possible. You have given me the foundation I need to prosper in life and I am forever grateful. You continue to drain my bank account day after day, but I forgive you. Because no money in the world can amount to how much I have grown over the years. You have rained on me when I didn't have an umbrella, but I forgive you. You have even given me all kinds of sicknesses, maybe even the plague. And for those weeks I was miserable, I'm still trying to get over that one.

I'm sorry I skipped class that one time, I may or may not have been too hungover. It will never happen again, but I make no promises. The Strip and Pots have some pretty good deals during the week. And I'm sorry I skipped class because I overslept. And I'm sorry I skipped class because I just didn't want to go. You have given me all the knowledge that my brain could possibly carry. You have graciously taught me how to procrastinate with just the right amount of time to spare.

Thank you for everything. Thank you for being the beautiful campus that you are. Thank you for the breathtaking sunrises over Landis Green and the sunsets behind Doak. I can't wait to share so many more experiences with you!

Love,

Your favorite Seminole

To those who celebrate, you just spent an entire day cooking an elaborate meal with all of your favorite foods. You probably ate your body weight in pumpkin pie and mashed potatoes. What happens now? Oh yea, Christmas. It’s time to take out all of the decorations and Christmas themed things that have been sitting in the attic since last year; it’s time to make a reappearance. So, here are 10 things that happen the second Thanksgiving is over.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
