College is full of moments that feel straight out of a movie. We all live for those little cinematic moments where, suddenly, you feel like the main character in your own story. FSU, which arguably has one of the most beautiful college campuses, practically screams main-character energy.
From sun-drenched Landis Green to cozy study nooks in Strozier Library, FSU is full of spots where you can channel your inner protagonist. Here are the four top places on campus to make your days a little brighter!
Landis Green
Nothing says college student “main character” quite like lounging on Landis Green when the sunlight hits just right. As the heart of FSU’s campus, nothing beats grabbing your favorite book, spreading out a blanket with friends, or simply lying back and people-watching on Landis Green.
There’s something that grounds you while walking across it, whether you’re heading to class or taking a break between lectures. Watch students go by, listen to the birds in the oaks, or just feel the sun on your face. These moments don’t need to be dramatic; they’re just simple reminders that college is yours to experience, one step at a time. Pro tip: the sun around 5 p.m. is magical on Landis Green.
Westcott Building
The Westcott Building is one of those places that makes you stop and look around. Between the fountain and the classic columns, it’s easy to slow down and appreciate the campus around you, especially while listening to the peaceful sounds of the fountain. Even if you’re just heading to class, you look like you’re starring in a coming-of-age indie film.
Stand for a moment, take a breath, or take a stroll across the front lawn. You don’t need a camera or a photo; this is about noticing the small details that make campus feel like home.
Strozier Library
There’s just something about the quiet scholarly vibe here that makes you instantly feel like the ultimate intellectual. Strozier gives you space to think without distractions, and there’s something comforting about being surrounded by so many stories and ideas. Even a short stop here can help you feel grounded in the middle of a busy day.
Don’t forget your headphones and listen to a perfectly curated fall playlist; it’s all about setting the mood. Strozier is basically the equivalent of experiencing a dark academia Pinterest board.
The Student Union
The FSU Student Union is buzzing with life, but that doesn’t mean you can’t claim a piece of it as your own. Grab a coffee, wander between the lounge areas, or find a cozy corner with your laptop. Suddenly, your ordinary day feels like a cinematic story unfolding in real time.
Watch students pass by, laugh quietly to yourself, and maybe even jot down some thoughts in a notebook. You’re not just existing, you’re living your story, and the Union is your perfectly lit set.
FSU’s magic starts on campus. It practically begs for cinematic moments. Whether you’re strolling through Landis Green in the late afternoon sun, diving into a book at Strozier Library, or finding your quiet corner in the Student Union, there’s a scene waiting for you everywhere. Grab your beverage of choice, put on your favorite playlist, and embrace your inner main character. You’re not just walking to class; you’re setting the rest of your life in motion.
