Why I Love Chattanooga, Tennessee

Nooga, Chatt-town, Chatt, Chattanooga, whatever you call it, it's pretty swell.

As a born and raised Chattanoogan, I obviously love my hometown. Chattanooga, located in the south eastern part of Tennessee, not only has beautiful scenery but also wonderful culture. Chattanooga has a little bit of everything.

1. Chattanooga has some of the best hiking trails and scenery.

It's just so pretty! How could you NOT love it?

2. Downtown Chatt is gorgeous at night.

The water. The lights. So pretty. Perfect 1st date location.

3. The Tennessee Aquarium

That pointy-roofed building is one of the coolest places I've ever been in Chattanooga. It's a great place for people of all ages. I highly recommend the Butterfly Garden. Oh, and the penguins. And sea otters.

4. The Chattanooga Choo Choo

You know that song "The Chattanooga Choo Choo"? Yeah. That's about us. Be jealous.

5. Historic Chattanooga

Chattanooga has been around for what seems like forever. It is full of history because pretty much everything is considered "historic." There are multiple battlefields and war memorials spread out through Chattanooga.

6. The Tivoli

The Tivoli is one of the best places in downtown Chattanooga. There are so many concerts, musicals, and plays that come to the Tivoli. It's like being in New York, but not...plus it's gorgeous on the inside.

7. The Countryside

Downtown Chatt is beautiful, but the countryside is just as beautiful. It's the best of both worlds.

8. Coolidge Park

Coolidge Park is located on the Tennessee Riverfront and is a beautiful hang out location. There is a pavilion, a carousel, a fountain, and plenty of restaurants and ice cream shops to visit nearby.

9. The UFO House

I don't know who built it, who lives in it, or why it's a thing, but it's a UFO house and I think it's pretty cool.

10. The Hunter Art Museum

This place is amazing. First of all, there is a statue of a horse made out of driftwood. Secondly, this place has a glass bridge. You can see the traffic beneath you as you cross it. It's cool!!

Overall, Chattanooga is amazing, beautiful, and I love it. It's the perfect combination of country and city. It's not too big and not too small. I'd have to say it's just perfect the way it is.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
