As the semester comes to a close and finals week is approaching, there are so many different things that happened this semester at FSU to reflect on – some good and some bad. Here is a little recap of all the important things that happened at FSU this semester!
1. Amy Schumer visited FSU for free as part of FSU Homecoming Pow Wow
Amy Schumer came to FSU on November 13 as a part of FSU homecoming’s Pow Wow. The event was free for FSU students and 40 dollars for the general public. The evening was filled with great performances, inappropriate jokes, and many laughs. It was awesome to be able to have such a talented performer come to FSU for free!

2. FSU lost their first regular season game to Georgia Tech
On October 24 the unthinkable happened. FSU students and the football team alike grew too confident in our ability to beat unranked Georgia Tech and unfortunately the undefeated Seminoles lost. However, Jimbo Fisher was confident that we would rebuild and go out with a bang against Syracuse with a 45-21 win! We’ll get ‘em next year noles (or whenever we play GT in a regular season game again)!

3. Phi Mu hosted their new annual haunted house
Phi Mu began their new philanthropy called Phright Night as they teamed up with the local haunted house. The event was extremely successful and everybody had a good time for a great cause. All the proceeds were donated to Children Miracle Network Hospitals and we look forward to next year’s event!
