...Days of The Week Become Synonymous with Clubs and Bars

It's no secret that the American college experience is filled with partying- house parties, frat parties, tailgating, clubs, bars- the list goes on. But here at FSU, students seem to take it to the max. Known around the country, FSU is a damn good time, every day of the week. After only a couple of weeks (or even a matter of days) in Tallahassee one will undoubtedly realize that there is always a party to be found. Yes, we know how to throw our fair share of house parties, tailgates, and more but best of all, we know our bars and clubs. Really, we've got it down to a science, a nice, organized shit-show. For every day of the week, there is a bar or club that you can count on to be bustling and nearly bursting at the seams with college students galore. In high school you may have recognized days of the week according to your classes, sports practice or piano lessons. Not at Florida State. Days of the week in Tallahassee sound a little less like "Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday..." and a little more like "Poor Paul's, Bullwinkle's, Mint and Potbelly's". Needless-to-say, we've got our party game on lock, but don't forget that we sit in the top 100 universities in the nation, so even if your feeling rough, don't forget about class come mint morning...I mean Tuesday morning.

.... When the squirrels are the biggest thugs around

I was told that once I got to college that I would be introduced to a diverse population. But never did I think that this diverse population everybody was talking about would include squirrels! Since I have been at Florida State I have seen more squirrels than I have ever seen before. These squirrels are everywhere on campus. I swear Florida State should change its mascot from the seminoles to the squirrels because these squirrels run this school. No lie I promise one day I had saw one wearing a book bag walking by me. But that doesn't even scare me as much as the fact that these squirrels are not scared of us at all. These squirrels walk around the campus looking at us as if we are the ones in their way. But I make sure to stay out of their way because some of them look like steroid pumping thugs. I remember one day I was late to class and I cut through some trees to save some time when out of nowhere a nut flew past me. So you know I had to stop because I knew somebody wasn’t stupid enough to throw a nut at me. But when I turned around all I saw was this big squirrel throwing up some gang signs with a Budlight beer in his hand! I guess I was on his territory and he had to retaliate or something. But that day I found out that these squirrels are from the hood, I mean really really really really from the hood though.

…… when you hate the sight of a bicycle

Since I have been at Florida State University I have come to terms that one day I am going to be in a hit and run accident with a bicycle. The headlines are going to read that “A female Florida State student was hit while walking to class on the east side of the campus.” The article is going to further explain that the careless person rode off without a second glimpse leaving the young lady sprawl out on the pavement like road kill. These arrogant bicyclists on this campus get on my last nerve. What is the point of a riding a bicycle anyway? Hello ass that is why we have buses you get on it and it will take you all over the campus. If you are too fancy to ride the bus than walk because the next time one of you bicyclist try to ride through a thick crowd I am going to push you off your bike. Also for those extreme bicyclists, wearing spandex is a BIG NO. If you aren’t Lance Armstrong than I don’t want to see you in any type of spandex.

...Walking to class entails passing half naked students.

Walking across the FSU campus, one will no doubt come across some interesting sights- protesters, clubs performing strange rituals, preachers, dance teams, and well, half naked students. As soon as temperatures rise high enough, it is a sure bet to say that at almost any given time of the day when passing by Landis green, one will find hoards of students lounging on the grass and playing in the fountain in, well, less than modest swimwear. While yes, it is Florida, and yes we love the sun, and YES it gets hot, where in the hell do we get off thinking that this is an appropriate practice? As students, professors, TA’s, administration, visitors and all other sorts of faculty and staff cross this campus landmark, students parade around in the bare minimum?? In high school and even in some universities, we are given dress codes which keep hem lines low and necklines high in an effort to maintain a degree of professionalism and modesty, so, WHAT has made us think that nearly naked is now okay? I love you FSU student body but seriously, put some clothes on, I’m on my way to Stroz, not South Beach.

...you look better going to the gym than to class.

Oh you fancy huh? well yes, yes I am . Nails done. Hair done yes good sir I have everything did. Why? simple because im on my way to Florida states gym- The leach. There is a 40 min spin class at 4 pm. well its 2 so maybe I should start getting ready now? This is what goes through most girls mind as they change about 17 time before finding the perfect outfit. When did going to the gym become a special event? Why do girls find the need to bring out the curling iron and make-up just to go work-out. Guys go to the gym without a worry in the world, they throw on a tee and some bball shorts and out the door they go. Now ladies yes, looking good is great and feeling good about yourself when you look good is fantastic...but really you should be going to the gym for you not to look like your going to the strip or even worse...prom.

...you will never see Gatorade in vending machines

You've been walking all over campus all day in the scorching heat. Your sweaty and your mouth is dry and your craving a refreshing drink. You walk up to some vending machines and are debating what to buy. Water? Powerade? Vitamin Water? So many options, but their is one option you will NEVER find: Gatorade. Search all over campus and i guarantee you will NEVER find one. Any other drink can be found in these vending machines, but NEVER Gatorade. The Gator Nation will NOT be invading into the FSU campus anytime soon, so thank goodness for powerade.
