“Honestly, it was one of the hardest semester’s I ever had, well year in generally, especially being a senior,” he said.
There are many different gems hidden throughout Mississippi State University's campus with the University Florist being a prime example. The floral arrangement shop, located next to the radio station, has served MSU and the Starkville area for the better part of a century and recently celebrated its 85-year anniversary.Â
The shop specializes in creating unique floral arrangements for a variety of events and occasions, such as Valentine's Day and Greek bid day.Â
Emily Cartwright, one of the student managers at the shop and Starkville native, grew up knowing the importance of the shop even for those not necessarily from the area.Â
