Florida State University

Tallahassee, Florida is home to the Capitol and the ever-so incredible, Florida State University. After attending FSU for almost four years, I'd say I have learned the tricks of the trade. Tally is one interesting place filled with a little bit of everything. Between the academia, the night-life scene, and walking up the steepest hills just to get to class, it doesn't take long to figure out the ABC's of Florida State University.


A is for Academics.

One of the top universities in the nation? Yep.

B is for Baby Bio.

I never thought I'd learn about dinosaurs in college.

C is for (Summer) C.

Every Freshman's dream come true and every Upperclassman's nightmare.

D is for Diffenbaugh hill.

Don't worry, everyone feels like they just climbed Mt. Everest, too, you're not totally out of shape.

E is for Everyone is at Stroz.

There are no tables, everyone you know is at the library tonight, and you have a test in 12 hours.

F is for Football Season.

Or, as the rest of the world calls it, "Fall."

G is for Greatest school in the nation.

Check.

H is for Homecoming Parade.

You know it fires you up.

I is for IM's.

Do it for the t-shirt.

J is for Jennie Murphie.

You know you're old when you were a student and when it was a womens-only dorm.

K is for Ken's.

"Dixieland Delight" is playing and all is right with the wold.

L is for Leach.

"Are you a Leach person or do you go to the FMC?"

M is for Madison Social.

BLT dip and the best Twitter game in all of Tallahassee.

N is for No parking.

Ever find a parking spot in Traditions? Yeah, me neither.

O is for Oglesby Union.

Is it just me, or are they always playing really good music.

P is for Pot's.

"Is the Beer Garden line open?"

Q is for Questionable living in Smith Hall.

No one should have been living in Smith Hall after the 80s. May she rest in peace.

R is for the Rez.

A day at the lake to escape the stress is only a 15 minute drive away.

S is for Standard.

You either love 'Dard or you want that place burned to the ground. There is no in-between.

T is for Tennessee Street.

Home of 75% of the restaurants near campus and the worst road to drive on.

U is for (Down) Under.

Club Down Under is low-key home to some of the best entertainment in Tally.

V is for Views.

I mean, have you looked at our campus.

W is for "What-What."

THERE IS NO "WHAT-WHAT" IN THE FIGHT SONG.

X is for (E)xpletives you scream during class registration.

Of course the one class you need next semester is full, of course it is.

Y is for Y-bomb.

When you leave Tallahassee and explain what these are to other people they will be in awe and/or concerned for you.

Z is for Z-Baked.

You can get cookies delivered to you after a long night at the library or a long night on College Ave. Either way, that's a good night.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
