It doesn't get more classic Tallahassee than this!

As a student, I have only taken the time to get to know one side of Tallahassee: the college scene. Football games, Madso, and Stroz are a pretty spot-on representation of the scope of my exploration of what Tallahassee has to offer. I am sure many of you can relate.

And, like many of you, I don't plan on living in Tallahassee past graduation. Meaning the precious time you have to do and see the things that give Tallahassee its character should be used to the fullest.

So, for all you guys hanging out in Tally for the summer hoping to branch out from your usual, this one's for you.

Coming straight from a true Tallahassee native, here is a bucket list of places to go in and around Tally that are truly one of a kind!

1.Goodwood Plantation

A Tallahassee gem and antebellum era plantation, Goodwood is an unparalleled experience. In virtually the same condition in began in back in the 1830s, Goodwood is a blast from the past. Just walk in and receive a tour of this illustrious home.

Plus, it is a free excursion! All you need to pay is whatever you can afford to throw in the donation box.

2.Bradley's Country Store

Established back in the 1920s, Bradley's Country Store is known for its country sausage and its strong family tradition. Of course, it offers goods like hogshead cheese and milled grits that are true southern mainstays.

Bradley's prides itself on preserving an authentic rustic faƧade, true to the sentiment it was founded on.

Like many places in Tallahassee, Bradley's Country Store is one of a kind. You won't find anything else quite like it anywhere. So, be sure to give it a visit while you're in town!

3.Farmer's Daughter Vineyards

Maybe you've made that iconic visit to Thomasville, Georgia, and maybe you haven't. Either way, Farmer's Daughter Vineyards offers wine tastings of its amazing Georgia-grown wines for an affordable price. This stop is made even better with cheese plates, Georgia chocolate, and macaroons!

Plus, Farmer's Daughter Vineyards makes a visit a truly immersive experience with live music, vineyard tours, private events, and paint nights!

4.Alfred B. Maclay Gardens State Park

In one word: scenic. The Maclay Gardens are a mainstay of any Tallahassee bucket list and many of you have probably checked this one off.

And, what with the classic Instagram post of the "reflection pool vista" that you've 100% seen but never realized where it was taken, it's about time you saw what all the fuss is about!

For one, it's just another gem to add to your Thomasville day trip.

For another, you can finally post that

5.Pebble Hill Plantation

Another Thomasville, Georgia favorite, Pebble Hill Plantation is beautiful and family oriented. So, no matter who you go with, whether alone, with a friend, or with visiting family members, Pebble Hill has a little something for everyone.

6.Tallahassee Automobile Museum

Featuring a Batmobile exhibit, some of the first cars ever made in the US, historic boats, Abraham Lincoln's hearse, and many more legendary and awe-inspiring antique cars, the Tallahassee Automobile Museum is a must for anyone in Tallahassee.

Whether you are a visitor, college student, or resident, the Tallahassee Automobile Museum occupies a high priority on any Tallahassee summer bucket list!

This list is by no means exhaustive, but it's a start.

While you have the whole summer stretched out ahead of you, take the opportunity to check these bad boys off, and maybe add a few of your own!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast ā€œBirthdayā€ on anyoneā€™s birthday. I knew all of the words to ā€œBack In The U.S.S.Rā€ by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. Iā€™m not someone to ā€œfangirlā€ but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
