You Know You Go To UGA When…

1. You get chills watching the “Saturday in Athens” video they play on game days.

2. You leave downtown early to get to Little Italy before they stop making pizza at 2 am.

3. You put more effort into your outfit for game days than for class.

4. You avoid walking through Tate Plaza on your way to class because you don’t want to get flier bombed.

5. You walk through Tate Plaza on your way to class if, and only if, there are animals there.

6. You do not, under any circumstances, walk under the Arch before you graduate.

7. Route Shout is full of lies.

8. You jump in the fountain on North Campus and ring the Chapel Bell to celebrate your victories.

9. You know there's no such thing as personal space when it comes to the Milledge bus because it’s always crowded.

10. You’ve contemplated getting hit by a bus to get free tuition.

11. Your phone autocorrects words to “dt”.

12. Your Halloween is spent in the greatest place on earth: St. Simons Island for GA/FL.

13. You sneak into the law library during finals week because the SLC is packed.

14. You consider your walk to class your daily work out #aghill.

15. You have shamelessly run to catch a bus.

16. You’re glad Oasis isn’t a thing anymore, because it wasn’t an Oasis at all.

17. You have sent an angry email to EITS in regards to PAWS SECURE.

18. You live by “white man, walking” when you’re downtown because you don’t want to get arrested for jaywalking. 

19. You call it the SLC not the MLC. 

20. Oasis would tell you that you couldn’t make it in 15 minutes to your next class, so you took it as a personal challenge and ended up running from Aderhold to Caldwell every Tuesday and Thursday.

21. You get more excited meeting a football player than a celebrity. 

22. You only listen to Corey Smith songs because he sings about Athens, GA. 

23. You envy the incoming freshmen that get to eat at new Bolton, and you plan on paying to eat there at least once this upcoming year. 

24. Your Statistics class ends up being in the Forestry Building (because that makes total sense). 

25: You know you’ll always be a Dawg even after your four (or five or six) years come to an end.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
