FGCU is by far the best school I could have attended. It's beautiful, scenic, and has everything I need in a school and home. That being said, we FGCU students stick together when it comes to some "just FGCU things" that only we can understand. We keep it real. That's why there are a few reasons crying in a corner at FGCU will make your fellow Eagles say, "same."

1. Parking- in every sense of the word.

As a frequenter of FGCU, it's likely that you've been in a hurry and found yourself battling-it-out for a parking spot that you have yet to find. While you're trapped in a parking garage with three minutes to spare before class, it's perfectly OK to have a good, hard cry.

2. Marieb vs. Merwin: The Saga.

I can't be the only one who even still struggles to remember the proper names for each building. When alliteration is at play, your chances of showing up to Biology class as an English major begin to skyrocket. Don't worry, you'll probably get the hang of it eventually.

3. Your Tapingo order is taking longer than you anticipated.

I can honestly say that Tapingo has saved me more times than it's ever let me down. 10/10 recommend. However, some days being busier than others for the on-campus restaurants, and when your food (or worse off, your coffee…) isn't ready when Tapingo said it'd be, the hanger is bound to set in. Don't be afraid to let it out; we get it.

4. You almost got run over by a college student on-wheels...

... for the third time today. It doesn't matter if you're on a sidewalk; that kid on his skateboard is waiting around the corner for you to cross his path.

5. When time and proximity are against you.

Class in the Library until 8:30, and one in Lutgert at 8:35? Say no more.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair
Tumblr

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
