5 Things That Makes Spring The Best Semester At FSU

Because let's be real, it was about time football season ended.

This is my third spring semester at FSU and already, it's living up to every expectation. FSU is a very unique school year round, but here are five of my favorite things that make spring semester so much fun.

1. FSU Basketball.

As a member of Seminole Sound, the (primarily) basketball pep band, I have the opportunity to get just about courtside seats to every men and women's basketball game.

2. Also baseball, softball, and all of the other spring sports.

Believe it or not, FSU is more than just a football school (especially after this past season)!! There are so many sports teams that are mostly ranked and have great records. Not to mention, there's nothing like a Saturday afternoon at Dick Howser Baseball Stadium eating peanuts and taking yourself out to a ball game!

3. THE WEATHER.

You thought the late fall weather was nice? Think again! Spring brings absolute beautiful weather to Tallahassee which is especially enjoyable on our beautiful campus. Whether it's hammocking on Landis, or walking to class on Legacy Walk, get outside because it's beautiful!

4. Campus landscaping.

Shoutout to FSU's groundskeepers because the campus is absolutely beautiful specifically during the springtime. With the weather and the gorgeous campus flowers, walking to class isn't so bad!

5. Spring Break.

Southern schools get a little screwed in the fall semesters because we don't have a fall break - other than a few days off for Thanksgiving before the FSU/UF game. Spring semester brings the beautiful week long break right around midterms when everyone leaves Tallahassee to go skiing, to the beach, or just home to relax. But luckily, we all get a nice week off and a little taste of the pure bliss summer break will bring in a few months.

These are only my top five, so what are your favorite things about spring semester at FSU?

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
