6 Of The Best Places To Take Photos At Georgetown

College is a great time to bond with friends and have fun adventures. Taking pictures is one of the best ways to capture these experiences. Listed are some of the most fun (and mainstream) places in Georgetown to display your fun four years.

1. “The Wave”

This might be the most mainstream place in town to take a picture. It shows your intense love of art history without straying too far from campus. Taking a picture here might be as typical as wearing a spirit jersey and leggings, but it is still beautiful and a great place to strike a pose.

2. Healy

Photos taken here just scream “Georgetown.” Everyone has a Healy picture, as they are preferable to pictures in front of Brutalist Lau. The Romanesque revival architecture looks beautiful every day, whether in the pouring rain or blue skies. The archetypical Georgetown student loves taking pictures in front of Healy, and it is the perfect place to remember college.

3. "The Exorcist" steps

Best known for gaining fame in the 1973 “The Exorcist,” these creepy, steep steps are the best place for dramatic photos and killer workouts. One can pretend like he or she is tumbling down the stairs, or pose in front of the stairs pre-run for a unique photo perspective.

4. The Waterfront

The Georgetown Waterfront is arguably one of the most beautiful spots in Washington. Spectators can see the crew team rowing through a tough workout as well as kayakers on the Potomac enjoying a day outdoors. The setting is always beautiful, and is a great setting for a nice hangout with friends, either day or night.

5. Anywhere with Jack the Bulldog

Forget Bradley Cooper and Bill Clinton, Jack is easily Georgetown’s biggest local celebrity. Snapping a picture with him, either the costumed mascot or the bulldog in the flesh, is a Hoya’s dream. No matter where the picture is taken, any photographic representation shows Georgetown spirit, and is sure to incite jealousy from other students.

6. One of the brightly colored townhouses in Georgetown

Georgetown easily has one of the most beautiful campuses in the country, and its surrounding neighborhood does not disappoint. The vibrant townhouses are easy to brighten anyone’s mood and look beautiful in photographs.

The memories one makes at Georgetown will last a lifetime, and the best way to remember them is through photos. These places epitomize “Hoya Saxa,” and will still be notable long after leaving the Hilltop.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
