Let’s get one thing straight, Florida Southern College was my number one pick of schools and I haven’t changed my mind since I have been attending classes here, I love it here. (And our students and staff are the sweetest and most kind-hearted group of people I have ever met.) If you go to FSC, chances are, you know about all of these aspects of campus life. Enjoy!
Me: “I go to Florida Southern.”
Friend: “Right, and where in Florida is that again? It’s a university right?”
Me: “It’s in Lakeland, and no, it’s actually a little private school……but you were close, no worries.”
And they don’t even look. Or, they drive slowly behind you until you move. If you’re lucky enough, they might even, literally, say “Beep Beep,” to let you know they need to get by. And I am determined that there are more golf carts than students…just a hunch.
There is no doubt in my mind that at least ninety percent of the campus likes the look of the old Mocsie better. He was so cute! What were they thinking, changing the mascot to this more realistic snake….snakes are actually ugly…..but the Moccasin Pride still reigns!
“I’ll meet you at TuTu’s,” is a famous phrase here. It’s the café…not the little skirt-looking things.
I think it’s just an FSC tradition. It’s similar to how a dog associates good behavior with treats. Tutu’s means raspberry sprite.
Yeah, I think this goes without explanation. Just when you think you found a spot, WRONG!
It’s a ten minute walk anywhere on campus, and there really isn’t parking near any of the major buildings.
Who doesn’t love a college version of “Whose Line is it Anyway?” 11pm on Fridays, be there.
For those of you that aren’t from Florida, the plethora of lizards probably comes as a shock to you. It’s normal to us Floridians, but stepping on lizards at FSC is pretty much the norm.
What is it about getting fined that makes the Water Dome so much more inviting to jump into in the 95 degree weather?
Whoever thought it was a good idea to put random lines of brick between concrete was crazy. It happens to the best of us.
For some odd reason, roller blading is a big thing here. What is it with old trends Lakeland? Oh well, at least it’s good exercise!
Everybody who experienced Kaus knows it was the crappiest bar in the world, but the fact that everybody congregated there is what made it fun! Too bad it’s gone.
Have no fear, there is always some weird type of entertainment in Lakeland, FL! If you want line dancing in a strip mall with bouncers, we’ve got it!
Where else would you get your local share of baby-mama drama?
The hours just extended a little bit, but college kids are usually up really late at night, and for the library to close at 1:00 just seems so weird.
The business building is beautiful, don’t get me wrong. But then they added those big red things outside on the sidewalk, and I instantly thought, TARGET! I can’t be the only one.
Frank Lloyd Wright was an architect who built about half of the buildings on our campus. We know more about him than most people our age do.
If you aren’t in Greek life, you are pretty much seen as nothing in the social world. It’s a good thing our professors aren’t biased.
At the end of the day, our students never get tired of the different scenery on campus, Lake Hollingsworth especially.
