There is a lot of people to meet at Furman. A student population of 2,800 doesn’t sound too big, but I guarantee there is always someone new to meet. I have met people that are involved all over campus and no two people are into the exact same things. Personally, I’ve had a sports marketing…

Food for Thought
A key ingredient to college life is food. We all know it. If you don’t have good food, what do you really have? To give you a little snippet of food life here at Furmz, I present the three foods that cater the spectrum of people who enjoy food. The Panini Press : Yes, I…
From Strangers to Roomies
Renee is my current roommate and she’s dope. Fun fact: we did not know each at all until April of last year. We had never heard of each other until it was time to pick housing. Then, all of a sudden, we stumbled upon each other, got lunch a few times and decided why not?…
My People, My Place
Furman is full of some dope people. You can find them involved in just about anywhere around campus: athletics, Greek life, clubs, organizations, etc. BUT, one of the truly greatest parts about Furman is that most friend groups cross-over into all those things. Starting your freshman year you’ll meet people all over the place. Furman’s…
De-stress then Declare
I am a huge advocate for not declaring your major during freshman year for two reasons. First, the amount of people who actually know what they want to major in is way way smaller than everyone seems to think. It perfectly okay if you are as clueless as the rest of us. Second, if you…
Sketchy Lots and Hurricanes
Well, recently I have had a series of what one might call “car troubles.” The first incident occurred Saturday night of Family Weekend. A friend and I had dinner with another friend’s family downtown and afterward I drove her to her car. We ended talking for a bit in my car. Then around 12:30 a.m,…
Greenville and Beyond
Before coming to live here in the wonderful state of South Carolina, I knew absolutely nothing about it. I probably would not have been able to even point it out on a map. BUT, a year in and many car rides later, I’ve come to know and love some of what South Carolina has to…
Baby Steps
If I am being completely honest, I do not fully recall all the little details about applying to colleges; however, I can tell you what I do remember. And before I continue, if you’re wondering why I might be a mildly credible source on the topic, I would like to cite my current status of…
The Family Advantage
Family Weekend is the college version of that day in elementary school where your parents would come read to the class. The day you got to show them off, and make sure they brought the best snacks so you’d be the most popular kid. My advice, embrace it. College is different than the usual high…
Surprise…It’s Me
Hello, I’m hyped to be back for round two! Thanks for joining me. Considering, I shared many a fun facts about myself last year, here’s the sparknotes version: My name is Abby Mathai, I’m an undeclared sophomore who may or may not major in Psych and/or Politics. I’m from the dopest state, Texas, and I’m…
