Me and FSU
Sweater || Jeans || Sneakers || Sunglasses
I’ve sat all weekend, somewhat patiently, to finally get to today. It’s FSU Gameday! I am a die hard Seminole fan and maybe the biggest thing I need to learn as a new New Yorker is where all my fellow Noles hang. Back home, every TV is guaranteed to have the FSU playing (and probably with the sound on).
To start the season out with a bang, I thought it would be fun to share some quick facts about me and Florida State. You’ll learn real quick that I’m not blowing smoke when I call myself a fan…
- My first FSU game was when I was only 3 months old. One of my favorite pictures is from this game (where we completely blew out the other team, by the way), with my dad holding me in front of the fountain at the Wescott Building. My fellow Noles, you know exactly what I’m talking about.
- I had a pet cockatiel growing up named Charlie. He heard FSU games so much that he learned to sing the Florida State fight song. I nominate him for the most talented bird in the world.
- My first swear word was when I was watching an FSU game at home with my dad. If memory serves, it was just a little C-R-A-P. Clearly I was not a fan of what I was watching. Sorry mom!
- I was a varsity swimmer and now get to enjoy the Varsity Club at home games. I was so sure of my decision to go to FSU that I didn’t visit other schools, even though I was heavily recruited. My college career wasn’t as successful as I would have hoped, but I wouldn’t have done anything different.
- I graduated from FSU in 2013 with my degree in Early Childhood Education and a minor in Child Development. It is definitely one of the proudest days of my life.
- I kept pushing back a first date with David because I had FSU football season tickets and didn’t want to miss a game. He gives me such a hard time over this, but I’m pretty sure I’ve converted him. He at least cheers along with me.
I know everyone has special little details that makes their college experience so special. I would love to hear about it! Yes, I want to hear even if you’re a UF or Clemson fan. Comment below something that makes you love your college even more.
Love from FSU,
Katie
