<p>Woohoo my first thread! lol
I've been accepted to FSU and I am highly considering it. I'm just waiting for info from a few other universities before I make my final decision, but to be honest, I am extremely excited to be a Seminole! I know that FSU is a place steeped in multiple traditions and I would just like to know what some of these traditions are. When you think of your experience at FSU, what are some of the first things that come to mind?</p>

<p>Also, has anyone ever heard of Club Publix? lol
GO NOLES!</p>

<p>There are many traditions, but some are period oriented while others are timeless.</p>

<ol>
<li> Being dunked in the Westcott Fountain on your birthday or other occasion.</li>
<li> Streaking…big decades ago; not so hot today. Don’t do this.</li>
<li> Sports - learning the cheers and standing up all game. How is your [Warchant[/url</a>]? Couple this with going to all the games.</li>
<li> Zombies…ask the newer students.</li>
<li> All nighters…these go with “sleeping optional” classes. Hint: You don’t sleep IN class, you just have so much work you don’t sleep much. See: Science Majors, et al.</li>
<li> Coffee…caffeine becomes way too important. See: [url=&lt;a href=“Starbucks Coffee Company”&gt;Starbucks Coffee Company]St</a>. Arbucks](<a href=“FSU War Chant - FSU Marching Chiefs at Prism 2008 - YouTube”>FSU War Chant - FSU Marching Chiefs at Prism 2008 - YouTube).</li>
<li> Passionate discussions that last for hours. Randomly occur here and there.</li>
<li> Playing sports on Landis Green.</li>
<li> Exam Week. Controlled chaos and panic…simultaneously. Also see: St. Arbucks.</li>
</ol>

<p>The younger students have lots more updated stuff I’m sure.</p>

<p>Going to the Irish Pub for an away game like Miami last year, and going crazy when the Seminoles destroy a rival. </p>

<p>Watching Dustin Hopkins destroy a 55 yard field goal. </p>
