And the Bowl Is...?
Georgia Southern

Georgia Southern is going to their first bowl ever. They will be participating in the GoDaddy Bowl at Ladd-Peebles Stadium in Mobile, Alabama on December 23rd. The game is at 8:00 P.M. on ESPN. Their opponent will be Bowling Green State University from Bowling Green, Ohio. The Falcons are from the Mid-American Conference.

The Falcons have an impressive resume. They are 10-3 and coming off a victory Northern Illinois where they won the Mid-American Conference title. They have wins over power 5 teams Maryland and Purdue. They also barely lost to a talented Memphis Tigers team who beat Ole Miss earlier this year. The Falcons also boast a talented offense. They score 43.4 points per game on average. They have a trio of highly talented players on offense that makes them a prominent offense. Their Quarterback, Matt Johnson, has thrown for 47 touchdowns this year and has passed for 4,700 yards. Their best Wide Receiver, Roger Lewis, has 15 touchdowns receiving and 1,476 yards receiving. Their Running Back, Travis Greene, has 14 rushing touchdowns on the season and has run 1,219 yards this season. This trio will be tough for Georgia Southern to handle.

Georgia Southern will have to bring their A game if they want to take down the Falcons. They will have to play better than their last game where they lost 34-7 to their rivals from Atlanta, Georgia State. The Eagles will have about two and a half weeks to prepare so they should be read to play. The Eagles defense has played relatively well this season but offense has come up short in some games. The offense will have to show up if they are going to be able to compete with Bowling Green’s prolific offense.

The game should be filled with a ton of scoring. Both teams will want to finish their seasons on a high note. Be sure to tune in on December 23rd at 8:00 P.M. on ESPN to watch the game.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
