The University of West Georgia is the home of the Wolves and broken WiFi. We live for off campus food because Z-6 and EC aren't cutting it. Parking is more stressful than exams and club Ingram is the place to be any week night. Below are the ABC's of UWG, a simple list of things the students know all too well.

A is for Auxillary Services

Officially, they handle all things mail, dining, cards, and parking. Unofficially, they're the ones who will tweet you back all hours of the day to answer your random questions.

B is for Banweb

This is the thing that we check every hour while waiting for our final grades and if we have an unexpected fine.

C is for Campus Center

The campus center is the place to get in a quick workout and mastering the rock climbing wall.

D is for Divine Nine

This past semester, UWG welcomed all nine NPHC fraternities and sororities to campus. Together, these fraternities and sororities make up the Divine Nine!

E is for East Commons

If you're looking to get out of class, go eat some East Commons and feel the wrath of cafeteria food.

F is for Fees

UWG's favorite thing to do is charge us all miscellaneous fees that we can't afford on top of tution and housing.

G is for Greek Life

Greek life at West Georgia is composed of the College Panhellenic Council, Interfraternity, Multicultural Greek, and National Pan-Hellenic. Greek life definitely has a presence on campus and is a wonderful opportunity for you to get involved in the community.

H is for Coach Hall

Coach WIll Hall is the head football coach at UWG and a name everyone knows. We're thankful for all he's done for our team! GO WOLVES!

I is for Involvement

UWG offers so many different clubs and organizations that it's hard to pick just one. There are tons of way to get involved on campus from jobs, to clubs, to Greek Life, there are options for you!

J is for Jimmy John's

The best part on Jimmy John's is that you can either walk to it or have it delivered, it's that close. Nothing beats a cheap sandwich when your tired of school food.

K is for Kyle Marrero

Kyle Marrero is the President of UWG and all around great guy. #MakeKyleProud

L is for Library

Club Ingram is the place to hang out, study, or wait in the hour long Starbucks line.

M is for McDonald's

Let's be real, everyone gets tired of the school food. McDonald's is in walking distance and has endless appeals. Plus, their WiFi works when ConnectWestSEC goes down on campus.

N is for Newnan

Newnan is home of UWG other campus and a bit of a drive when you accidentally sign up for a class over there.

O is for the Oaks

The Oaks is the newest dorms on campus for freshman that fills up faster than you can blink.

P is for Parking

Or lack there of so to speak. Parking is a nightmare on campus and everyone always seems to be getting parking tickets.

Q is for QEP

The ridiculous acronym your professor has on the syllabus when he explains that you have to write a paper for your Math class.

R is for Row Hall

Where is that again? I always seem to get lost trying to find Row to pick up my hang tag for my car.

S is for Student Government Association

SGA is the official voice of the student body. If you have a complaint, a suggestion, or something you just want to say, these are the people you go to. They also give out a lot of free t-shirts and everyone loves anything with the word "free".

T is for Townsend Center

UWG's theater program is pretty amazing. Be sure to visit Townsend and see a show before you graduate. You'll go here at least once to get extra credit for a class.

U is for UCC

The UCC houses some of our favorites like: Chick-Fil-A, Subway, and the post office. Nothing beats the feeling of picking up a card from home and using the money to walk downstairs for some Chick-Fil-A nuggets.

V is for Victories

UWG's sports teams are pretty amazing. We've taken home several of wins and titles. Go Wolves! We can't wait for 2016-2017 sports!

W is for WOLF

Our internet radio station. They also host Wolf Stock which is a really cool event in the spring were local bands preform live on campus.

X is for Xing

I really had nothing better for this one, but I do cross the street daily on campus. When people don't slow down I still go saying, "Hit me. I need tuition money anyway."

Y is for Yik Yak

Yik Yak is an app where students can anonymously chat with other students. You can find out gossip, ask questions, or be annoying on Yik Yak. The choice is yours.

Z is for Z-6

Z-6 is the other cafeteria on campus and said to be better than EC because it has an ice cream bar.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
