5 Summer Adventure Spots In Georgia

Summer is here and everyone is itching to go on an adventure. During summer, most of us have much more free time because we are out of school. We love the thought of sitting around the house all summer and staying in bed, but in reality that gets old fast and you'll want to do something! So here are a few ideas of places you can go in and around Georgia for a day adventure.

1. Mount Yonah

This little adventure is located in the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest. It is in north Georgia, so it can be a day trip reached from anywhere in the state! This is a great place to go for a hike. While hiking up this summit, you can enjoy an extravagantly beautiful scenery while you hike. They also offer camping if you choose to make a weekend of it. Call ahead to make sure you're not hiking on a training day!

2. Cloudland Canyon State Park

This state park is located close to the Georgia and Tennessee state line. Near the state line there are tons of things to do, most things revolving around Lookout Mountain. There are cottages, campsites, golf, fishing, horseback riding, hiking, caving, biking and so much more. This can be a trip with a friend or a weekend away with the family. Plus, everyone loves a cave tour.

3. A Sunflower Patch In Cumming, Georgia

An activity in the sun that brings the same joy as going to a pumpkin patch. There may not be a hay ride, but picking flowers is always fun. At this flower patch, you can buy your own or go out and pick them! If you love to pick your own flowers, try picking your own berries at the Southern Belle Farm in McDonough, Ga or Whitley Farms in Sharpsburg, Georgia. Berry picking is a fun, southern activity and kids love it!!

4. Lake Lanier or Lake Allatoona

A day at the lake is always fun. You can pack up the portable grill, hotdogs and hamburgers, and some snacks. Make a day of it. Relax on the beach and when everyone is tired of the water you can hop out and eat your lunch at the picnic tables. There are tons of lakes all throughout the state, so don't limit yourself to one or two!

5. Blue Cove Hideaway

This is a beautiful little quarry located in McMinn, Tennessee. Throughout Tennessee, there are tons of little swims holes throughout the entire state. Even in Georgia, there are swim holes such as Blue Hole Falls.

Wherever the road leads you, always remember to be safe and let someone know where you are! Summer adventures are always great, and they don't have to cost a lot. And above all, always where sunscreen when you're going to spend time outside

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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
