5 Things To Love About Athens, Georgia

As if there are only 5.. here are a few things to love about good ol' Athens, Georgia.

1. THE DANG DAWGS

There really are few things that compare to screaming for those in the red and black on a Saturday. Ain't nothing finer in the land, I tell ya.

2. THE FOOD

Between the cornbread crusted trout at The Last Resort, the southern fried veggies at The Place, and the tacos at Taqueria La Parilla, you are bound to find something to help ya put on a few pounds. In addition to that.. the five Chick Fil A's and eight Waffle Houses aren't too bad either.

3. THE BARS

Athens is the epitome of a college town so if you aren't downtown at 100 Proof or drinking sweet tea at General's on a Friday night, what the heck are you doing?

4. MAMA'S BOY

To be honest.. after screaming for those dawgs all day and throwing back some vodka crans, there is nothing like waking up Sunday morning and waiting a few hours in line for some grits, eggs, and a chicken biscuit.

5. THE VIEWS

Whether you wanna hang out on North Campus for a little while to get some fresh air or take a little drive to Sandy Creek Park, you're bound to be surrounded by some beautiful things.

God Bless You Athens, Georgia. I love ya.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
