Studies In The Sun Is Just One Of The Perks Of Going To School In The South

Julia Smith

Currently, all my friends and family are clenching their teeth just to walk to their cars, turning their seat warmers on to the max, and trying to survive the final dreadful months of winter. Alabama is a great school, but don't get me wrong the summer is the cherry on top.

Although home may be far from home, I'm glad I can finally put my sweaters and boots away and pull out the cute tanks and live in my swimsuits!

Soak in the studies... and the sun

If I was home, I would be finishing up my semester hoping the sun would come out and deal with a little chill, but in Bama, I can get work done by the poolside. What I love is spending my time in the sun, finishing up homework, eating and napping in the sun. The sun is not only good for your skin, but for your soul.

Weekends at the pool.

Every weekend as soon as my homework is finished, It's always fun to spend the day by the pool. The best thing about Alabama apartments are the complimentary pools for all residents and all there friends to enjoy. If you are a real fan of water, take a trip out to lake Nicol and either sunbathe on the cliff side or paddleboard the day away.

Sunny Side Up

There is nothing like soaking in the sun with some great branch food. Either Sweet Home Food Bar has aesthetic outside seating. You can enjoy some rays and great breakfast at Another Broken Egg and sit by the river.

Run In the Sun

The river walk is the most beautiful place to walk and talk with friends, break a sweat with a quick run, or just sit, relax, and enjoy nature.

ICE CREAM

If you don't go to Ingram Farms on a warm day in Tuscaloosa, you are definitely missing out. Take a quick drive our to Northport and get a scoop or two of Bama's gem and best ice cream you will ever taste

Content Creating

I don't know about you, but its really hard to take pictures outside when it is below zero. If you go out to breakfast or just spending some time in the sun, snap a quick pic to show everyone why going to school in the South is the best thing ever!
