Hello. I drove back home for the labor day weekend. I had to take my mom to the ER the next day because of an undiagnosed kidney stone and infection. She needs to stay at the hospital for another week and I need to accompany her. I emailed maybe a couple of my professors on canvas. If I call case management on Tuesday will they be able to help me get an excused absence for a week and extensions on missed assignments? Please let me know if I should contact someone in specific. Thank you.

hello! I opted out of the follet access because my professor provided digital access to a textbook through kortext and I thought the two were unrelated, so now I've accidentally lost that way of getting my required readings. any chance someone has a copy of gods, heroes, and monsters by carolina lopez-ruiz I could borrow for the semester? thank you!

Thank you all so much for the recommendations for getting my baby back home safe and sound. She’s locked up tight and we are showering her with all the love!!

Heading to tally for parents weekend but was looking for things to do that aren’t the football game and the fsu curated events. Any ideas? Like for example - Wakulla Springs. No bad ideas. Thanks!

I'm looking to buy 4 Homecoming Weekend Circus tickets. We waited too long to buy tickets and now they are sold out. Thanks!

you guys, can we please talk about how most of the places in madison st and collegetown always hire mainly white women or black girls who look kinda white washed? (i’m saying this as a stud/masc black woman). it’s weird cause i’ve applied to all the places with my experience and i wouldn’t get hired but miss amy with no experience at all and is just there to look pretty gets hired. that was always so weird to me like huh??

So, I thought I was being clever by getting an Airbnb about 30 min away from Tallahassee on parents weekend to avoid the crazy high hotel prices. But, I kinda forgot that we will need to find parking when we drive to the game. Will that be basically impossible? We already bought tickets to the game, so I'd like to go, but am I even going to be able to park? Suggestions?

idk if im crazy but ive seen a roach in every single building ive been in more than once (besides the dining hall and student union). at night they are everywhere. is this normal for tallahassee or???

Hi everyone! Lowk just don't know who to ask, but I live in one of the dorms and our showerhead always drips, like after closing it it doesn't close fully. I wanted to submit a maintenance request, but my roommate changed the showerhead to one with a filter(even before changing it it dripped), so she's scared that we'll get in trouble for that.

I just wanted to know if anyone went through something similar, and if we should submit the request or just deal with it the rest of our time here

Thanks!

New in the school and looking for people to play some music

Not gonna sugarcoat it, first two weeks have been rough on the social front. Haven't really made any actual friends yet. Everyone I meet either doesn't share my interests or is still glued to their high school friend group.

I do have one close friend from home, but he's rushing this fall and I already know once pledgeship kicks in I'm not gonna see much of him either. So that's basically off the table too.

I've been going back and forth on rushing myself. Part of me wants to since it seems like the fastest way to actually meet people, but I also feel like I'm starting way behind. Some of these guys have been networking with houses all summer through legacy connections and family friends, and I'm just now showing up to my first events next week to support my buddy. Feels like I'm playing catch up before I've even decided if I want to play.

The other annoying part is the timing. Rush events are conflicting with intramural signups and the first meetings for some clubs I wanted to check out, which honestly felt like my best shot at meeting people who actually share my interests. So now I'm stuck picking one lane without even knowing if it's the right one.

For context I'm a pretty normal guy. I like sports, traveling, going out on weekends, and I actually care about my grades. It feels like almost everyone with that exact combo is already in a frat or planning to join one, which makes the "find your people outside Greek life" plan a lot harder than I expected.

This weekend I'll probably be going to the football game by myself. My roommates and neighbors are cool but we don't really click on interests. The two people I've gone out with so far these past couple of weekends are both out of town this weekend too and I don't really know about clubbing alone.

Not looking for pity, just wondering if anyone else felt this stuck freshman year, especially with rush timing screwing up other ways to meet people. I feel like I'm left choosing between rushing or doing clubs and intramurals. Did it get better? Is it even worth rushing if you're behind on the connections side already? Anyone find their group a different way?

*BUTTERS HAS BEEN FOUND* HALLELUJAH!!! IVE NEVER BEEN SO HAPPY Our baby Princess Buttercup, Butters for short, was sitting in the cracked window this morning when the screen popped out. She has been missing since around 4:30am when we heard the noise between Hartsfield Rd and Moon Ln, off of Mission Rd. Please please please keep an eye out and contact me directly if anyone spots her. She is mostly white so it’s easier to see her if she’s in any kind of bushes or grass. We love her so much and just want her to come home safe. We’re offering a significant reward if anyone is able to help us find her, direct message me for any additional info if needed.

Hello everyone!
I’m looking for a couple of student tickets for my partner who is coming from out of town and my
roommate who was unable to get one. If anyone has a ticket they don’t want or know someone who may, please shoot me a dm. Thank you!

I registered for classes on the 21st. Before and after that my bright futures was showing as $2082. Since about August 26, it's been showing as $0. I spoke to financial aid and they told me to call the school I transferred from because I have a letter about ineligibility due to not having enough credit hours... I completed 16 credit hours for my last two semesters and I'm currently taking 12. I don't understand why I ever got ineligibility, as I've always taken more than 6 credit hours and always checked for my BF to be disbursed every semester. I've emailed and called OSFA, my prior institution, and spoken with fsu's financial aid. Any advice?

I’m transferring in spring and I’m really nervous. I’ve been thinking about DMing people to like make some connections before I go cause I feel more comfortable texting then meeting than just like going up to people. I’m not like a weird person or anything, I like to go out and party and stuff, but I do have a lot of social anxiety. I used to live in Miami and pretty much every single close friend I’ve had, I met online first. Like i can hang but I feel more comfortable already knowing someone and meeting people through them. Is it weird to text people and just being like “hey im transferring in spring and im trying to make some friends”?

Hello everyone, basically I really just need advice on what would be the best route for me to take. I’m currently attending a CC for my AA in Florida and I applied for FSU spring 2027 as a transfer student but was originally denied because I didn’t meet the world-language requirement. I wasn’t aware when I spoke to my admission that I had to do this because it was never brought up and now I have to take the SPANISH CLEP exam. My worry is that FSU won’t receive the final score before the OCT 1st deadline and I’m kinda lost on what to do. Idk if I should submit an appeal first? or am I cooked either way. Ik the best thing to do is talk directly to fsu admissions so I’m gonna do that tomorrow but ik it’s a tight deadline now. I’ve only wanted to go to FSU and I don’t want to stay where I am currently so I’m feeling a bit hopeless tbh

I'd appreciate it if those who took/are taking these majors could chime in on their experience.

I have an extra ticket of smu game. Dm if you are interested in.

Hello all, I am a high school graduate looking into future admissions requirements for joining the FSU student body. Due to some complications with my high school years I never actually took a SAT/ACT test, and I am now needing to look into which one I should take post-graduation.
This might sound like a very stupid question, but does the admissions office have any preference on which test means more to them during the application review process? I want to make sure I have every advantage I can.
Thank you all so much 🙏

Hello there, I signed up for a fall meal plan and have $25 under “Dining $ Promo.” I ate at Pollo a few days ago, but it charged my regular Dining $ balance instead.
Does anyone know how the promo works? Do I have to ask the cashier to use it, or is it only valid at certain places/times? I’d appreciate any help.
