My favorite thing about Tallahassee: The food! Considering how small of a city this is relative to population size. We have some phenomenal food, whether these are sit-down restaurants, food trucks, or a small hole-in-the-wall place. This city and its surrounding areas have it all.

What I enjoy the most about FSU: How accessible our campus is, you can walk from one corner of campus to the other in under 30 minutes. It's incredible how this university can have so many things in such a compact area!

My advice for future Seminoles: Enjoy the time that you have on campus, these will be some of the best experiences you have. Make sure to cherish them and live in the moment. Get involved, and step out of your comfort zone, you're only a college student once!

My favorite thing about Tallahassee: My favorite things about Tallahassee are the seasons, the people, the sunsets, and local restaurants and events. The cooler weather in the fall and winter allows you to spend some time outside with friends, whether it's enjoying a picnic at Cascades Park or sharing stories around a campfire. It's also fun to discover restaurants and explore other hidden gems in Tallahassee and the neighboring cities.

What I enjoy the most about FSU: What I enjoy the most about FSU: From the start of orientation weekend to the end of my undergraduate career at Florida State, the diverse and inviting community is what I treasure the most. There is a place for everyone here to succeed and the people within the community make this place one of a kind. I encourage students to go out of their comfort zones because it could reveal an interest in a different major or simply teach them more about themselves.

My advice for future Seminoles: Be open to change and welcome new experiences! Florida State provides over 750 organizations, and bountiful academic and career resources that can help connect students to internships, shadowing opportunities, research labs, and more. I also recommend living on campus for the first year so that students can fully immerse themselves in everything we have to offer and establish friendships with students in their residence halls! We have Living Learning Communities that are catered towards students within a certain major or area of interest.

My favorite thing about Tallahassee: The amazing outside opportunities at your fingertips. There are a few parks and lakes around town you can visit.

What I enjoy the most about FSU: Although FSU is a larger institution, it still feels homey. The staff, faculty, and students help facilitate an environment of compassion and warmth. It's very unlikely for you to walk a few feet and not be greeted by someone. Tallahassee may be a Florida city, but it has some influence on southern hospitality from Georgia.

My advice for future Seminoles: Be the author of your story. College is what you make it. It's the time to take ownership of your life and become the author of your story, embracing your authentic self. Don't allow fear to hinder you. Embrace failure and mistakes as a learning opportunity. Don't take yourself too seriously.
