The Georgia Bulldogs have been exceptional in the past two seasons after a down year of Jacob Eason leading the offense. Last season in a bounce-back effort, Nick Chubb, Sony Michel, and an extremely talented defense led the Dawgs to the National Championship game. This year, the team is very young but still incredibly talented. The future is bright for this group.

1. 6 more years of Kirby

After the National Championship game, Kirby Smart was given a new contract due to his success with the team. He has been a huge improvement as a coach for Georgia and has been even better at recruiting players to come join up. Smart has been fantastic at getting the most out of his players and continues to improve his squad every week. The trend will only continue upwards with him around for the next 6 years, at least.

2. Great recruiting class for 2019

The Dawgs have the number three overall recruiting class in the nation for 2019. They just committed four-star running back prospect, Kenny McIntosh, to join up with 2018 running back recruits Zamir White and James Cook to form an intimidating trio. Georgia is also bringing on the top recruit in the nation in pass rusher Nolan Smith. Five star wide receiver, Dominick Blaylock is also among the incoming freshman. Kirby Smart will have many new toys available going into next year.

3. Jake Fromm is only a sophomore

This is only year two for the standout quarterback. There were the makings of a QB controversy at the start of the season between Fromm and freshman Justin Fields. Fromm quickly silenced those rumors with his play and took a firm hold on the starting duties. The sophomore quarterback is outstandingly poised on the field and rarely becomes rattled. If he stays for his senior season, the Dawgs will have two more full years of Fromm to lead this offense.

4. D'Andre Swift is only a sophomore

Swift has had a bit of a rollercoaster season. He started off hot but got hurt just a few games into the year. It took some time but he appears to now be back to his top form.

D'andre Swift 77 yard TD run

Swift is one of the most explosive players in the SEC and has multiple touchdowns over 50 yards. He had a career high 186 rushing yards on just 17 carries against Auburn. Swift had an 83 yard run against Kentucky. He will more likely than not be in the NFL one day but Georgia fans still have time to see him fly.

5. Big games

Georgia has been working on scheduling over the past few weeks. Home and home series' against both Clemson and Texas have been scheduled. Those games don't happen until 2028 through 2030 but it is good to see that UGA is working on scheduling tougher opponents in the future. The Dawgs take on Notre Dame in Athens next season and that will be one of the biggest games that Athens has seen in a while.

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
