Ah, The Strip. To someone who doesn't attend Florida State, hearing those two words doesn't trigger any emotion. To us, here in Tallahassee, those two words never fail to make us feel some type of way. A night out at The Strip is many things, but itā€™s certainly never boring. That being said, here are the 30 different types of people that youā€™re guaranteed to run into at The Strip. If youā€™re reading this, you relate to at least one of the people below.


1. The Freshman/Tequila Sunrise Girl

You just want to snatch it out of her hand but you also kind of want to see what happens after she drinks eight of them.


2. The Waltzing Girl

She has been waiting for this day since she first walked into The Strip, and now the time has finally come for her to stand on the bar at Ken's and sing "Sweet Caroline."


3. The Guy Who Knows Literally Everyone

He also knows everyone on staff.


4. The 60-Year-Old Man Who Didn't Come With Anyone Else

He's always alone but manages to have the time of his life.


5. The Guy Who Should Be Studying And Knows It

He's constantly complaining and drinking Vodka Water Limes.


6. The Wandering Girl

Her friends can't find her and she can't really even find herself.


7. The Girl Who Claims She Hates The Strip But Is There Every Saturday Night

Stop telling us that, "Pot's is soooooo much better." We know you're just trying to play cool, sweetie.


8. The Girl Who Actually Hates The Strip And Is There Every Saturday Night

At least she's putting in the effort.


9. The Girl Wearing Leggings And A T-Shirt

She deserves an award for the lack of insecurity that it takes to show up to A.Y.C.D. in what she was wearing at Stroz fifteen minutes earlier.


10. Kevin, The Security Guard

We all know him. We all love him.


11. The Bouncer Who Definitely Knows That Your Real Name Isn't Rhonda

He lets you in any way because you're #pretty.


12. The Guy Who Keeps Bugging His Friends To Go To TENN Instead

He's also the one complaining the whole time when TENN isn't open.


13. Floor Girl

This is the girl that everyone is stepping over while leaving Yianni's.


14. The Graduating Senior Who Is Taking Advantage Of A.Y.C.D. While He Still Can

:(


15. Mitchell Geezil

Self-explanatory.


16. The Guy Who Won't Shut Up About His Mug

I will personally smash your mug on the tile floor if you bring it up one more time.


17. The First-Timer

Everyone remembers their first time.


18. The Girl With The Recycled Band

We see right through your printer-copied bracelet, honey.


19. The "Sophisticated" Drinker

We get it; you only drink top shelf liquor.


20. The Shot Master

When he's not handing out shots, he's ordering more.


21. The Girl Who Went Too Hard At The Pregame

She's blacked out at 9 p.m.


22. The Humble Student-Athlete

"Hey did you know I'm on the basketball team?" Yes, in fact, I did (because you have now used that as a pickup line four times tonight).


23. The Guy's-Bathroom Girl

We've all seen a girl try to pee in the urinal at Ken's.


24. The Random UF Guy In The Corner

Are weekends a little too boring down there in Gainesville? #ItsGreatUF


25. The Guy Who You've Made Out With Multiple Times But Refuse To Make Eye Contact With

He knows. You know. The bartenders know. We all know.


26. The Spill Girl

She's the reason you've considered bringing an extra shirt.


27. The "I Can And Will Fight Anyone In This Bar" Guy

Don't be this guy.


28. The Crier

Someone needs to put her in an Uber already.


29. The Guy Meeting Up With A Tinder Match For The First Time

I'm cringing from across the bar.


30. Me

See you there next weekend.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichƩs, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And donā€™t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Donā€™t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and youā€™re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. Youā€™re running late because youā€™ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterdayā€™s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
