In This Article:

Getting involved on campus can make your college experience worthwhile. It's how you make your nest, find your people, and feel connected to your university.

1. Campus Recreation

Most FGCU students don't know that Campus Rec actually has 8 facilities: NLV waterfront, Rec fields 1 & 2, Eagle Challenge Course, SoVi pool, Outdoor Complex, and the Aquatics Center. Campus Rec is also the largest student employer at FGCU, in case you wanted to work where you play. Really, Campus Rec is a great way to get involved on campus because there are SO many options for each and every interest.

2. Dirty Birds

If you have school spirit and love athletics, this is the organization for you. Dirty Birds is the official student section at sporting events. Get ready to deck out in FGCU colors and show your school spirit!

3. Multi-Cultural & Leadership Development

This office celebrates diversity and empowers students to grow in their leadership skills. MLD certificates can even help strengthen your resume, no matter what your field is.

4. Registered Student Organizations

The best way to find an RSO that suits you and your interests is Eagle Link. We have everything from the People Watching Club to the online writing community: Odyssey at FGCU.

5. Programming Board

PB hosts the best events on campus, and if you're interested in event planning, marketing, management, teamwork, or even concerts, this could be your ideal organization.

6. Resident Housing Association

RHA is a student-run organization that represents the in­terests and concerns of residential students. It's also a great way to develop leadership skills and make friends in your resident hall. Think you want to be an RA? This could help you test the waters!

7. Student Government

SG's mission statement is to maximize student potential, promote individuality, and enhance student success... So if you believe all that and take an interest in politics, then this could be the organization for you!

8. Eagle View Orientation 

Now, I might be a tad bias, but I deeply believe EVO is one of the most effective ways to get involved on campus. Going through six months of training in leadership, university knowledge, and teamwork can further your enthusiasm for FGCU and develop a plethora of life time skills.

Whether you're a sports junkie, a politics enthusiast, or you just like hammocking, FGCU has a nest for you.

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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
