11 Things Every UGA Student Needs To Do In Athens

When you’re a student at the University of Georgia, it can be easy to let your entire life be taken over by school work and the stress of becoming an adult in the real world. It is so important to remember to enjoy your time here between the hedges. Life isn’t all about studying, it’s about getting out there and experiencing things with the people around you. Here is a quick bucket list of things to get up to in the Classic City before Graduation Day!

1. Hiking at the Botanical Gardens.

Don't miss out on this beautiful scenery! This is the perfect spot for a relaxing hike by the river.

2. Dining at the infamous Mama’s Boy.

For your own sake, order a Mama's Boy biscuit. You won't regret it.

3. Visiting the Tree That Owns Itself.

This one's hard to find, but that's half the fun!

4. Take Selfies with all the Bulldog Statues!

Make it a competition with your friends to see who can get the most selfies with the Bulldog statues found all over Athens.

5. Ringing the Chapel Bell.

This is practically mandatory. Are you really a UGA student if you don't ring the bell at least once?

6. Hiking the North Oconee River Greenway.

Another awesome hiking spot that will give you a nice little get away from the stress of school.

7. Going to a Concert at the Georgia Theatre.

The Georgia Theatre holds tons of amazing concerts, be sure to purchase your tickets and enjoy the social life of Athens!

8. Visiting the Lyndon House Arts Center.

Come and get a taste of Athens' culture at the Lyndon House Arts Center!

9. Jumping into the Herty Field Fountain.

If you didn't do this during orientation, it's not too late!

10. Go Skydiving with SkyDawgs!

Who doesn't want to go skydiving? UGA has its very own skydiving club, and they are ready to help you experience the rush that is jumping out of a plane thousands of feet in the air.

11. Make friends, eat great food, and experience more than just campus!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
