South Carolina State Fair

The best place to spend on a fall night in Carolina!

South Carolina State Fair

Sometimes you just need to step away. Give the 'adulting' a break and be a kid again. Where is that possible? DISNEYWORLD!!!! But wait a minute, we are still broke college kids right. Maybe we will save Disney for next time but for now we can always be kids again at the fair. Its fall and the only thing better than pumpkins and football is the SC State Fair. It's a must do if you have never been and a go to if you have.

College Students Day

Let's be real, fair admission is like $10. I know it doesn't seem like much but that $10 can be stretched so much further then an admission tiicket right! That's the best part the fair has a day just for college students to get in for FREE with their student ID!!!! How completely awesome is that! This is the best stress reliever I have had this month by far and it's an overall blast for everyone.

Rides, Rides, Rides

If there is anything that can take you back to the good ol' days its the rides. Yes tickets do cost but the best way by far is to get the $30 POP bracelet. This will get you on any ride as many times as you want! it's the best way to get your money worth. Go ahead, race down the slides, get on the Matterhorn, ride the Crazy Mouse. You can enjoy the swings or even take a walk through the fun house, if you can make it out of the wheel at the end haha!!!!

Fair Foods

This is where it gets prices for us students but its where we don't usually have trouble spending money. They have any kind of fried thing you can imagine and foods that you would have never thought of. This is were we get our funnel cakes, candied apples, and huge corn dogs. Its food so bizarre that it is almost impossible not to try it.

The Vendors

It's the perfect place to get awesome t-shrts, great jerky, and almost anything else you can imagine. For most it's the best time to get those people such as Crescent Cotton. I personally have been buying t-shirts from them since they were Melanie's Designs and she did hand drawn designs of South Carolina. They are one the places I will loyally buy a shirt from every year and this year I bought 4!

The 2016 South Carolina State Fair may be over but that gives you all the more time to save up money for the 2017 Fair! You have got to check it out and if you can't go any other day you have to go on College Student day. Its worth the drive!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
