The ABC's Of Florida State University
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.

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.

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.
