Your A-Z guide of everything Flagler.

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words.
