UGA Has A Long Way To Go In Football

Can Kirby Smart save this season?

UGA Has A Long Way To Go In Football

Last week's loss to Tennessee was another upsetting win for a team that looked promising before the year started. With the defensive coordinator for last year's national champions as our head coach and ESPN's 2016 top high school quarterback as our freshman star player, this season looked bright for the Georgia Bulldogs.

Issues began to surface at the North Carolina game, and the disappointment continued with Georgia's lackluster performance against Nicholls State on September 10th. While the Dawgs won by two points, issues throughout the game with the offensive line and specifically Eason's performance agitated many fans. Some of those problems can be attributed to the natural difficulty of changing coaching staff and adding a freshman quarterback in the same year.

Next came Missouri, where the Dawgs won by one point, and then the Ole Miss game. The Ole Miss game started off rough, with Georgia's offense struggling to make meaningful plays, and it never improved. The defense was incapable of holding off Ole Miss' strong offense, and a lack of coordination on the offensive line did not help even out the scores. Coming out of that game, many fans were understandably nervous for the Tennessee game.

Georgia, however, delivered a decent game of football against Tennessee. Our offense made a few excellent plays and looked more solid than previously. The defense worked very hard to keep Tennessee from scoring, especially with the multiple touchdown blocks towards the end of the second quarter. The Hail Mary at the end happens, and the final score- and Georgia's loss by only 3 points- does reflect how hard both teams played. It may have been a rough season until now, but hopefully the Dawgs' upward trajectory will continue.

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.
