7 Things Only Palm Coast People Understand

1. The intersection at Old Kings Road and Palm Coast Parkway

The worst intersection in Palm Coast is the intersection at Old Kings Road and Palm Coast Parkway. If you're bad with streets, I'm talking about the one near McDonalds, CVS, Cracker Barrel and ABC Liquors. This intersection sucks because if you just barely miss the green light, you're going to be stuck there forever. The lights also turn quickly, so it's important that you're paying attention at the light. Luckily, they took out the camera at the intersection!

2. The rivalry between Matanzas and Flagler Palm Coast

The first football game of the season is the most intense one. Each year, the football game is either held at Matanzas or FPC, it switches every year. The turn out of the football game is insane! The student section has people either covered in green (for FPC) or blue (for Matanzas). While there may not be any other kind of noticeable school rivalry during the year, the rivalry is very visible at the game. (And there's nothing wrong with intense school spirit!)

3. The convenience of the beach

Luckily, we live about 10 minutes from the beach. No matter where you live in Palm Coast, the beach is not far. When you go to the beach, there are so many pizza places you can try and then after that, you can grab ice cream! The location of the beach is also very beneficial to all the surfers and fisherman of Palm Coast. While Flagler Beach may not be in the best shape right now, due to Hurricane Matthew, soon enough she'll be good as new and still a great place to make memories in.

4. The constant complainers

If you live in Palm Coast, you know all about the constant complainers. Everyone on social media is almost always complaining that there's "nothing to do" or that Palm Coast is "boring." However, there are tons of things to do in Palm Coast like go shopping, go to the movies or even go to the beach. Don't blame Palm Coast for the lack of your adventure.

5. Publix in every corner

In Palm Coast, there seems to be a Publix in every corner. There's a Publix across from Kohls (Belle Terre Crossings), one by Starbucks (Palm Coast Island Walk), one by the Hammock, one by the Town Center and even one by Flagler Beach. However, Publix is a wonderful company and is well-known for their iced tea, chocolate-chip cookies and "Pub Subs."

6. Neighborhood Sections

In Palm Coast, the neighborhood is organized in sections. There is the B section, Z Section, E Section, C Section and the list goes on. While the sections aren't alphabetically organized in any way, everyone in Palm Coast knows what you're talking about when you say, "I live in the L section." Still don't understand what I'm talking about? Then you must not be from Palm Coast.

7. Making the news is a big deal

Whenever Palm Coast makes the news, it's a big deal. We don't make the news often, but when we do, it's usually about something ridiculous. Once, there was an alligator using the crosswalk. Another time, a woman accidently drove her car into the Publix on Belle Terre. Crazy stuff happens in Palm Coast, too.

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

Actually, Kylie Jenner, 2018 is the year of realizing things.

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
