Originally, this class was scheduled from 3:35 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. in FSU’s Doak Campbell Stadium. While this time frame remains the same, productivity and morale have completely changed. Sitting on a Zoom call for approximately three hours has not exactly been exhilarating.
Fear of Missing Out
I feel a sense of FOMO at the moment, that is for sure. As this was my last semester at FSU, I can’t help but regret not suffering through one last all-nighter at Strozier Library or spending one more spring afternoon lying on Landis Green.
Something I really miss are my walks to class, Airpods in and set at volume 7 — loud enough to jam, but low enough to hear a passing car. My walks helped me realign my thoughts and open my mind for learning. It’s nice to be able to get some fresh air, get the blood pumping, and most important, it’s nice having a destination. I can go for a walk anytime, but the destination, the goal, is now obsolete.

As a Florida State alumna, I will always be proud of the goals I achieved and the challenges I overcame. To all future graduates, be grateful for the place you will call home for the next couple of years. It will test you and make you question everything you know, but you will grow from every experience. Although I’m far from you now, I will keep the memories and the love in my heart forever.
Vires, Artes, Mores — and as always, Go Noles!
