We settled into our new campus lives and found ourselves living the student ' s life. We were adjusting to roommates, meeting neighbors, dealing with dorm life and having our first tragic encounters with the laundry room. We began to fall into the stereotype of ' a college student. ' We became accustomed to what was happening on and around campus. Everything that happened on campus ef- fected us. New Debitek cards for the Coke machines, renova- tions on Doak Campbell stadium and residence halls, local construction and campus expansion were all topics for con- versation. We found ourselves httmg m to what the student ' s life had to offer: late night parties, late night study sessions, the Union Fleamarket, concerts at the Club Downunder and parking hassles. All of these things were becoming a part of our new State of Mind and a part of us. Each aspect of university life added another dimension to us that was not there before. »»a Oi, -• ' «» ps lUDENT 6 - Student Life T TFF

(Continued from page 3) were just faces have become roommates and friends, a cam- pus that seemed like an endless maze is becoming familiar and a new city is becoming home. The more time passes, the more comfortable we feel. The first month is filled with so many new experiences. There is so much to learn, how to get football tickets, where the stadium is, when campus ofhces are open, where to park, where not to park, how to get to classes and how to deal with the Tallahassee weather. By the time the year is through, it will all become second nature. The university goes from being just ' a school ' to being ' our school. ' After the anxiety and tension wears off, we begin to find our niche at the university. Some choose to join one of the hundreds of clubs and organizations, others participate in Rush and join the Greek system, students begin to form intramural teams, while others join varsity and club teams. We find a bond with people from the same city or similar backgrounds. Everything is a hrst, a trip to Buffalo ' s for wings, the Ice cream Social with President Lick, staying in the library studying until we get kicked out at 1:30 a.m., home pre-game parties, roadtrips to away games, the fight song and the Marching Chiefs. The university and everything about it becomes a part of us. We hare a common bond with 28,000 other students. It ' s that feeling we get when the football team comes out onto the field and Chief Osceola spears the field. The same feeling we get when we ' re relaxing with friends on Landis Green, or I going to an SCE concert at the Club Downunder. a. I It is a Florida State of Mind. a: o - Opening - 5
