"Milledgeville? Isn't that, like, where crazy people go?" Oh, Milledgeville, how I love you. I love your abandoned insane asylum, your abundance of fast food places, but most importantly, your school. (I do hate the lack of Target though. What a struggle.) Georgia College and State University is home to 6,600 students and faculty alike. And when I say home, I mean it. Every person I know that has walked on this campus and felt the immediate need and urge to call Milledgeville (aka "Millyvegas") home, and when you start to relate to these thirty-three items, you'll know you're home forever.
- You only go to the Max for Gwen's sandwiches.
- Hills are the bane of your existence. But they have given you really nice calves.
- You can never go anywhere without seeing someone you know.
- Cookout is a staple.
- So is Barbs, Velvet's cheese fries, Stacked, Chik-Fil-A's buy one get one entrees on Thursdays, and the Max (shoutout to all the underclassmen that swipe in poor upperclassmen without meal plans).
- Parking has never been so much of a chore.
- Being on a first name basis with all your professors is normal.
- 3rd floor library or no library at all (currently writing this in the peace of the 3rd floor).
- Chalk is the most effective form of communication.
- If you’re a science major, you need all the prayers because the walk to Herty is rough.
- Just pray for science majors, period. They need help.
- If it’s not Blackbird coffee, you don't want it.
- Again, parking. What the heck, dude?
- Forgetting how to drive because you walk everywhere.
- “I only came for the t-shirt."
- County Line is the highlight of your year.
- Capital City Pizza is always the best move on Friday nights.
- Never actually getting pizza at Capital because the Brick is so much better.
- Chacos and Birks are everywhere.
- You're thankful for the Arts and Sciences building because it's basically Antarctica during the summer.
- "Will I get in trouble for swimming in the reflection pool?"
- We have the greatest football team on earth. #Undefeated
- Having to muster up every bit of motivation to go to the gym because it's just so far away, but the freshman 15 is a thing.
- So. many. hills.
- You know all about Cookie the ghost. I live with her.
- Basically everywhere is haunted
- Watching the sunset is an actual form of entertainment (bonus points if you bring a picnic).
- Never stepping on the bobcat head or you’re basically cursed.
- Greek life or no life.
- Basically living in the learning center.
- You might as well start paying rent to the library because you're always there.
- GroupMe saves your life daily.
- You know that Millyvegas is home forever.
