So I’m 21 now. I’m officially official as of 2:32pm. Actually, I still don’t think I can legally rent a “luxury car” at certain places. Bummer. In all seriousness though, here’s 21 of the most important things I’ve learned in my 21 years of life: 1) The most important part of the day is how you…
I’m a firm believer that a healthy social life is more important than good grades. Now before you write me off as a typical UGA party student, let me clarify. I’m not an advocator of wasting time, procrastinating, or slacking off. Education is essential. It’s what we (or Zell Miller + our parents) pay for….
I’ve never personally witnessed a person experiencing a heart attack, but last Thursday afternoon, it seemed like the entire city of Athens and the University of Georgia when into sudden cardiac arrest. It came out of nowhere and with no warning, like getting blindsided by a car when crossing a street. And it hurt. Badly….
I remember the summer before my freshman year, I did a decent amount of reading on preparing for college. I probably read three or four books on this topic, and each contained a section on being productive in school. Funny enough, the more I read, the more I became increasingly frustrated because they all suggested…
If you know anything about me, you probably know that I am a college football fanatic. Specifically, SEC football. One of my favorite aspects of college football is player development. Because collegiate athletes are only eligible for four or five years, teams must constantly develop the younger players and attract new talent if they have…
I’ll be honest. I feel kinda boring this summer. Between a local internship, an online class, and a couple family trips, my summer is definitely exciting and busy, but it’s certainly not flashy. I’m not going to northern Africa on a top-secret mission trip, or in New York interning with a large firm, or studying…
There I was. Starring down at the possibility of death, hundreds of feet below me. It had been quite a night. I had survived a 200-foot free fall, a 95-foot nosedive, and had hit a top speed of 70 miles per hour. Gulp. What in the world was I doing, you ask? Skydiving? Base-jumping? Hang-gliding?…
Last post, I touched on the essential not-so-serious things that every incoming college freshman should learn. Once you’ve got those down, you’re ready for the real preparation to begin! Getting ready for freshman year can seem a little daunting at times. Living away from home, adjusting to a new city, building new friendships, challenging schoolwork,…
Big congrats to all the future dawgs out there! Get ready for an awesome four (or five) years! Heading off to college is a major transition and requires a great deal of thoughtful preparation. So, with such a serious transition in mind, here are three not-so-serious but oh-so-essential things you need to learn before setting…
The past couple of weeks have proven that Georgia’s weather is officially insane. About this time last week, the entire city of Athens (actually, the entire north Georgia area) was frozen over from the “icepocalypse.” My roommates and I were completely iced in. I couldn’t even open my car door because it was so…
