On registration day, Heather Cribbs logged onto myflagler to find that the class she needed to take was no longer listed. It’s a scenario that has happened more than usual this semester, from seniors to freshmen finding more classes full or taken out all together.

“If you can’t get into it or your classes coincide, then you kinda have to choose your battle,” said Cribbs, a junior theater arts major.

Junior Johanna Falzone, a fine arts major, also had the same problem. The lack of class choice not only made it difficult to schedule her classes, but also made her feel under-appreciated as an upperclassman.

If searching for a balance between school and social life, look no further than Flagler Team Trivia.

Trivia night takes place Wednesday evenings from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Bugg’s Bistro. Questions vary from history to lost lyrics to pop culture.

For Flagler College junior Autumn Roth, the communication building is just not suitable for the hands-on learning of communication majors.

“I’m always in that building and it’s just so small and rundown,” Roth said.

The old building is home to Flagler’s radio station, WFCF, and has one classroom, a few faculty offices and a small television production room. The television production room doubles as a classroom but due to the lack of space, there are no desks.

Sophomore Nicole Mera’s favorite time of the day is at 7 p.m. as she puts on her fitness clothing. She said she feels eager to relax and let go of all the stress that comes with college life. When she walks into Flagler’s fitness facility, she finds herself in a crowded, limited space in which there are no free treadmills or ellipticals.

“The gym is too small. There are not enough machines for everyone. Sometimes, I have to wait 15 to 30 minutes for a machine,” Mera said. “I think as students we deserve a better gym or at least one that meets students’ needs.”

Flagler alum Paige Marie Garrity, 19, is living her childhood dream as a rising pop star, preparing to release her debut mix-tape next January.

“I knew from a very young age that performing was what I wanted to do…When my friends would come over, we would get all dressed up and put on shows at my parents’ dinner parties,” Garrity said. “I wasn’t a shy kid, I loved being the center of attention when it came to the ‘spotlight.’ I would choreograph routines to Britney Spears, N’Sync and Christina Aguilera and beg for my friends to perform them with me, even when they didn’t want to.”
