As a current freshman at the University of Georgia (UGA), I can vouch for the total accuracy and truth behind this list of surprisingly relatable aspects of life on campus. If you have just started your journey at UGA, you will definitely do these things if you haven't already. From the large campus size to the sports teams to the numerous class sizes, there is a lot to do and be proud of around campus.


1. You have a special hatred for the Yellow Jackets.

A little rivalry never hurt anyone. Whether it be concerning sports or just the schools in general, it's safe to say there is a bit of competition between UGA and Georgia Tech.

2. You can wear shorts anytime of the year no matter the weather.

Don't be surprised if you see people walking around in shorts and a T-shirt despite rain or cold weather.

3. You know you have the best college football team.

This is not disputable under any circumstances.

4. Red and black are your favorite colors

The schools colors are now your colors in any event that you decide to represent your bulldog pride.

5. To you, the correct spelling of dogs is d-a-w-g-s.

I'm still waiting for this version of the word to be added to the dictionary.

6. You didn’t know what ALEKS was before, and you wish you still didn’t know what it was now.

There are some days when doing your math homework on ALEKS isn't completely tiresome, but then, there are other days when you just can't stand ALEKS any longer.

7. You’re used to taking buses packed to their maximum capacity.

When you go to catch a bus during peak times there is a 100 percent guarantee that the bus you are about to take down to Tate or any surrounding buildings will be packed full of students.

8. Having to wait for the next bus because the first one was already too full

There are times when sandwiching yourself into a bus filled with hurried students just isn't worth it. You'll be taking the next one instead.

9. Chick-fil-A is right at your doorstep.

If there is anything I've learned while living in the South, it's that people love their chicken biscuits.

10. The only spirit going around here is school spirit (and sometimes actual alcohol but you get the point)

UGA students know how to have fun, show some school spirit and kick back and relax after another day of school.

11. If bulldogs weren’t your favorite animal before, they are now.

Even if you don't suddenly want a bulldog now, you still know which mascot is the best and the next game.

12. Trying to find a parking spot.

So basically, there probably aren't any.

13. Lit pre-gaming rituals

Though not everyone does, if you are into pre-gaming on the weekends, then you do you and have fun doing it! Please drink responsibly.

14. You wear/wore your lanyard around your neck

Some people say this is a sure sign that you're a freshman. Others say it's just an unspoken rule to not actually wear them. I say, it was designed to be worn around your neck so what's the big deal?

15. You worked hard to get here.

Though it may have been easy for some, a lot of us know that we did what we had to do in high school in order to get the grades we needed for the opportunity to experience college at UGA, so props to you for making it!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
