YOLO :)
An acronym for You Only Live Once!
This motto is similar to the mottoes: You have only got once chance to live or Enjoy it while you can. People often use these phrases to persuade their friends to take risks or do something they normally would not do!
The phrase has been a motto for people for a long time, but the shortened version, YOLO has gained popularity since the release of the song The Motto by Drake and Tyga. Source: Urban Dictionary

Westcott plaza is one of the most recognizable gateways to Florida State University, beautifully paved with commemorative bricks inscribed with names of Florida State alumni, friends and family members.
Westcott fountain, a gift from the 1915 and 1917 classes, is the centerpiece of the courtyard. Since 1917, the Westcott fountain has been a symbol of Florida State University’s proud heritage, and pays homage to those who came before. Westcott fountain stands out like a beacon and is unarguably the most iconic location on FSU campus.
