www.gobeyondthe... - Being from Florida, I knew that for money’s sake, I would go to undergrad there. I knew my choice was between the top two schools: Florida State University and University of Florida. The choice was easy, for me, because I had familial ties to Florida. Despite being close to other Gator alumni, there are things that they did not tell me that I wish they would have! I personally think that watching other people play sports is boring; and, this torture is only amplified by the sweltering heat of none other than “The Swamp.” The only parts of game day that is worthwhile to someone like me are the free drinks (reasonably attractive girls and up drink free), and the promise of delicious drunk food close to campus. I’ve told people of my secret hatred before, and I regretted it instantly. I was asked, in all seriousness, “Why do you even go to University of Florida.” This isn’t Mean Girls- I do go here. And just because watching padded boys run in to each other is not my idea of a fun time does not mean that I am less deserving of attending the university. Aren’t we here for education anyway.
