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.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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 clichés, 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 don’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. Don’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 you’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. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’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?
