The ABC's Of Flagler College
Kaitlyn Burke

You've known your ABC's since kindergarten, but now it's time for you to learn a completely new set of ABC's: Flagler College edition.

"Absolutely" no alcohol on campus:

Hide your flasks because this campus has a zero-tolerance policy towards alcohol, but then again some rules are made to be broken. ;)

Bridge of Lions:

Odds are interacting with this bridge is a daily occurrence, whether you drive over it to get to class and inevitably end up late because the drawbridge was up, or you find yourself walking over the bridge on a Saturday night for a night out with friends.

Carmelo's:

The ultimate convenience store for Flagler Students. I've mentioned before that no matter what time you go here, you will always see at least one person you know.

D-hall:

We love to hate it. Everyone complains at one point or another about the food, but over summer, you start to miss the unlimited supply of chocolate chip cookies.

Extreme flooding:

Cordova street is just a flat out mess after a few minutes of a downpour. Rainboots are a necessity for this reason alone.

Five Star Pizza:

Late night delivery is the reason this is a staple in every students diet.

Good Coffee:

Good coffee is not hard to come by in St. Augustine. Some say we have a caffeine addiction.

Hogwarts:

When people see photos of your college, most compare it to Hogwarts. Which is a valid comment because we actually do have a Harry Potter month. Every Potterhead's dream.

Interhall:

The first year of interhall hours for all dorm buildings! Please don't f*** it up and get the policy revoked.

Jimmy Buffet:

Rumors of Jimmy Buffet performing at Tradewinds Lounge during the 450th were sadly just rumors, though he has been known to grab a drink here from time to time.

Keystone:

Basically the least favorite gen. ed.

LMS:

The keeper of grades, assignments, resources, and syllabi, that no professor actually uses.

Meehans:

One of the best spots for a drink downtown! If you don't have a photo of you and your friends drinking a fishbowl, did it even happen?

National Monument:

Yea, we have a national monument within walking distance. Really it's no big deal.

Off-campus:

To live on-campus or to live off-campus, that it the question for every Flagler Student.

"Pocos":

Though it's actually Friday, if you're no longer a freshmen without a fake ID, please stop going here on Thursday nights.

Quiet hours:

It is always mind boggling when you get in trouble for being loud during quiet hours, but then also aggravating when your neighbors make all the noise and never get called out!

Rosie:

Everyone's favorite barista. If you're lucky she'll even give you a handmade guardian angel.

St. George Street:


Trolley Tours:

If you're walking downtown, you will see at least one trolley tour pass you. These things are everywhere!

Undefeated football team:

Yes, our football team is undefeated. Yes, it also does not exist.

Vacation:

Finally a real spring break. This is the first time in Flagler history that we are getting a real spring break! No more spring weekend for us!

West King:

Though this area is known to be super sketch, that hasn't stopped you from attending to a few parties on this side of town.

Xerox machines:

Does anyone know where they actually are?

"Yes, please":

Is your answer to when a d-hall employee asks if you would like chicken nuggets.

Zero motivation:

There is zero motivation to go to class on days like this:

Or on days like this:

If we're being honest here.


Now you all should know your Flagler ABC's.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
