8 Tips for Studying and Staying FocusedBy April 30, 2013 - 6:07pm As we all know, finals are coming up with a vengeance. And for those already studying, there’s no telling just how prepared you’re going to be, but one of the hardest things to do while studying is stay focused on your materials. One minute you’re in a “quiet” corner in Strozier with your reading materials and notebooks displayed like medals of honor on the table, the next you have your head in your hand scrolling down the newsfeed of Facebook. “How did I end up here?” is a common question many of us ask ourselves during times of duress.

NFL Draft RecapBy April 30, 2013 - 5:47pm Florida State University’s senior quarterback, EJ Manuel, won big at the 2013 NFL Draft. As a true ‘Noles fan, it was shocking and yet amazing to hear the Buffalo Bills announce EJ Manuel as the #16 draft pick - the first (and only) quarterback to get drafted in the first round. Some can blame the mediocre talent of quarterbacks this year, and some can say that it was complete garbage and Geno Smith should have been drafted first. However I see it as a blessing for Manuel and a testimony to his strength and character. READ MORE |

Foosball: Rider Sandals TournamentBy April 23, 2013 - 9:04am For those who don’t frequent The Strip on Friday nights, you may not have heard about the foosball tournament at The Public House Bar. The Deets Rider Sandals, the #1 sandal brand in Brazil, sponsored this event in an attempt to broaden their consumer base. The Company has come to the U.S and is “tearing it up” with young culture. In effort to really draw in the college demographic Rider Sandals headed to the sunshine state and collegiate party capitol, Florida. The tour hit all the major costal areas (and Gainesville for reasons unknown to me). Not that Tallahassee is exactly a tropical paradise, but it is definitely not at a loss for eager students who like to pretend it is. READ MORE ... |

3 Websites That Will Help You Land Your Summer JobBy April 23, 2013 - 8:00am Surviving in a college town can be difficult because there are so many people looking for jobs. Whether it’s to keep up our exercise habits (hello, yoga pants), our drinking habits (thank goodness for the Moose card), or even our eating habits (pokey stix every night, please) money is hard to come by - especially toward the end of the year. Many college students aren’t sure where they should begin when it comes to finding a job. There are three colleges to account for in Tallahassee, as well as the multiple high schools. The job market isn’t lacking applicants, it’s lacking places that will hire. READ MORE |

Remembering the TragediesBy April 23, 2013 - 8:00am It is difficult to comprehend how, in one instant, a celebration turned into a catastrophe. The vibrant and busy city of Boston, Massachusetts took on a very somber face after two bombs exploded near the finish line of the 117th Boston Marathon at 2:50 PM. Three lives were lost to the explosions - Martin Richard, 8; Krystle Campbell, 29; Lingzi Lu, 23 - and many others injured. READ MORE |

Boston, We Love YouBy April 23, 2013 - 8:00am If you are reading this then more than likely you have already heard about the events that have taken place in Boston and Texas this past week. IT is a sad time and a time full of fear. After 9/11, most of us thought that the war on terrorism would diminish. This attitude was even more fortified after President Obama declared that Osama Bin Laden was dead. Americans were thrilled and optimistic about the future, finally the ten-year war is over and our troops are coming home. However, the demon behind that devastating event has haunted us once more with the bombing that took place on Monday during the Boston Marathon. To think that to Russian brothers at 26 and 19 could be capable of such horrendous actions is almost reprehensible.... |

Seminoles: Show Boston We Care!By April 17, 2013 - 4:29pm “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’” - Fred Rogers, Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood READ MORE |

Modern Rape Culture AwarenessBy April 16, 2013 - 1:34pm Trigger Warning: Discussion of Rape and Rape Culture The article you are about to read was difficult to write because it is a sensitive subject. It was most challenging to write it in a way that removed the author from the story line. As a way for me to communicate on a more personal level, I have written this article in the third person. I didn’t want this article to come across as mechanical or robotic by writing in the third person. With that being said, also recognize that the following article does not reflect the viewpoints of FSU or Her Campus collectively, and is intended only as a social/cultural critique. READ MORE |

Baseball: FSU vs UFBy April 16, 2013 - 9:35am With a record of 27 wins to 6 losses, the ‘Noles were ranked much higher than anyone expected them to be for a team with so many fresh faces. The sold out baseball game on Tuesday, April 9th had an attendance of 6,719, the fifth largest crowd Doak Campbell stadium has ever seen. This may not seem like that big of a number, but baseball fans are a whole different animal than football fans. They are abnormally faithful, incredibly superstitious, and louder than…well I guess you’ll just have to go see. To anyone who’s never had the please of having boiled peanuts spilled on them and profane pitcher goading screamed at inhuman decibels, spring is just not complete. The Recap: READ MORE |
