We've only got four years.

Four years doesn’t seem like a lot of time to experience college, but if you do it right, you can pinpoint everything you want to get done before you throw your cap in the air. You can do it! Especially at a place like Georgia Southern, that’s so rich in traditions and fun rituals, it shouldn’t be hard to make and complete a college bucket list at this amazing college.

1. Play on an intramural sports team.

It’s a great way to make friends, and have some fun with some competition (but not too much competition).

2. Climb the rock wall at the RAC


Honestly, just do it to say you did it. It's like a right of passage.

3. Walk around Sweetheart Circle three times with your sweetheart.

Tradition holds that if you walk around that circle hand-in-hand with your sweetheart three times you’re bound to be together forever.

4. Attend a big, away football game.

This year was Auburn, next year is Clemson. We might be the underdog to win at football but we’re definitely going to win the tailgate and the party after.

5. Make the Dean’s List.

Let’s not forget why we’re all here guys, to learn some stuff and have some fun on the way. So why not learn some stuff, get that degree, but also make yourself (and mom and dad) proud by getting yourself on Dean’s List.

6. Attend a lighting of Sweetheart Circle.


During the Christmas time, there’s always a grand lighting of Sweetheart Circle that is bound to give anyone some Christmas cheer, so make sure to make it to at least one during your four (or more) years there.

7. Go to a planetarium show.

Yeah, I get whats going through your head. “A space show? Those are lame.” But not here. They have specials like Pink Floyd themed, even a Christmas special!

8. Attend at least one sporting event for every sport.

Show your school spirit! Cheer your fellow Eagles on through their wins and losses, sing the fight song loud, go crazy when we score a point, and stick around till the end to sway and sing the alma mater with the students you’ve grown so close with.

9. Participate in at least one homecoming activity during homecoming week.


Whether it be GSU Idol, the homecoming parade, Doo-dah, the lip-synching competition, cheering on your favorite football team at the homecoming game, voting for king and queen, or simply attending these events and cheering on your fellow classmates, I promise you it’s a fun week.

10. Graduate.

Finally, what we’re all really here to do. Sure, we all love it here, why else would we choose to spend four (plus) years of our lives here? But in the end, we’re here to do one thing: GATA (get after those academics) and get that degree

Sadly, we only get four (to six) years here at the greatest university in America - make it memorable.

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.

19 Lessons I'll Never Forget from Growing Up In a Small Town

There have been many lessons learned.

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.
