Whether you're going home for summer or graduating for good, here is a list of why Athens gets in your blood and stays forever. These heartwarming feelings will make any dawg smile. Just remember, this is not a goodbye to Athens -- it's a see you later.

16. That feeling you get when you ring the chapel bell on a good day

At UGA, we encourage celebrations. Whether it's another win for the dawgs or a 98 on your econ. test, there simply is no better feeling than ringing the bell (even though you probably had to pull the rope like 10 times for it to finally ring).

15. The feeling you get in Sanford Stadium when the Dawgs win

I get the chills just thinking about it, calling the Dawgs with your best friends and you hearing the crowd roar -- take me back to fall.

14. The feeling you get when your feta fries finally arrive at your table

You might not be 100 percent accurate on whether the fries took years or five minutes, but they are always well worth it.

13. The feeling you get when you hear Corey Smith sing about Athens

“I’d hang around on Clayton Street in the bars there getting drunk.” The feeels...

12. The feeling you get when you get when you know you sit in class among some of the best and brightest

Kirby Smart isn't the only smart thing at UGA. Knowing that you are a part of a community with such bright individuals is truly amazing. You are sitting among the people who will some day change the world.

11. The feeling you get when you’re welcomed into Snelling by a smile and a hug

Miss Sandra makes this place feel like home with her warm hugs and smiles. Your day gets instantly better with a “Hey Boo!” and a warm embrace.

10. The feeling you get when you see how much our Dawg Nation has come together this past week

Our Dawg Nation shows love and support for each other through all the ups and downs. Those four girls will always remain in our hearts.

9. The feeling you get when a new Georgia Football hype video comes out

And the feeling you get when the same video covers your newsfeed.

8. The feeling you get when you recall the night with your best friends.

The moments when you piece everything back together from Snapchat stories, text messages, and pictures.

7. The feeling you get when they finally call your table’s name at Mama’s Boy.

After the long wait, there’s nothing more exciting than knowing you’re one step closer to a biscuit.

6. The feeling you get when you see that UGA is ranked among the top universities in the world.

There is no tradition more worthy of envy. No institution worthy of such loyalty as the University of Georgia.

5. The feeling you get when you realize how reasonably priced everything in this town is

It’s exciting seeing how cheap every bill is, and when your parents come to town, they feel like ballers.

4. The feeling you get when feel apart of a community that is based on three pillars, two words, and one heart

Clear eyes, full hearts, GO DAWGS.

3. The feeling you get when you find out your favorite band is performing at the Georgia Theatre

Third Eye Blind, Zac Brown Band, and Sister Hazel are some who have graced the stage.

2. The feeling you get when Baba O’Riley plays throughout Sanford Stadium

Chills. There’s nothing like Saturday’s in Athens.

1. The feeling you get when you realize your four (or five or six) years were well worth it and made you the person you are today.

To all those walking through the Arch this week, congratulations and we’ll catch ya on the other side! And for the rest of us... we’ll see you in the fall where the Bulldogs play at home.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
