Journal #3 - Favorite Campus Spot


My favorite place on campus would be the outside area behind Whittaker Hall. There’s a bridge that makes it easy to access the modules and the parking garage that isn’t as jam packed with people as the other ones on campus. There are also picnic tables that are nice to sit at if I have something to read for class or do some light homework, even eat a snack between classes. It’s a beautiful place to be on campus, even more so when I can enjoy it when there are no students or faculty members smoking thus ruining the nice spot. When I sit there, I just shake my head at the amount of cigarette butts thrown on the ground. In addition to the bridge being accessible and that the area is great for doing assignments, I particularly love how this spot is the epitome of what Florida Gulf Coast University represents. Despite not banning smoking, this area shows how environmentally friendly our campus is. The lake houses several families of turtles that are fun to watch even when I am just trying to pass the time. Also, while I have not seen any recently, during my first year here at FGCU, I spotted an alligator sunbathing in that particular lake. There are students who are terrified of the alligators on our campus, but I think they add to the appeal of our campus, so it irks me when students act so selfishly and try to feed them which leads to them being “destroyed.”
