Gameday in Athens is... there's no other way to put it... legendary.

When it's not football season, we're all wishing for football season. Each and every football season, we fondly look forward to the next home game in Sanford Stadium. Here, game day is a culture. There are some elements that are constant every single week.

Here is your ultimate guide of what to expect and what you'll see on any given Saturday in Athens.

1. *Insert sorority name here* loves the dawgs button.

2. Somebody "calling the dawgs."

3. Girls wearing jerseys as a dress.

4. Boys wearing patterned pants that are red or black.

5. Clear purses, because they're the only purses allowed.

6. Girls in perfectly put-together black and red outfits.

7. Little girls dressed in UGA Cheerleader costumes.

8. Huge fraternity tailgates up Milledge and Greek Park.

9. Ridiculous fraternity banners.

10. Spike squad.

11. Cowboy boots.

12. Red solo cups.

13. Tailgate tents all up and down the street.

14. Big Chik Fil A cups.

15. Students scrambling to pull out their UGA IDs.

16. Happy, loud, obnoxious Georgia fans.

Game days in Athens are truly unlike no others. Anyone who has been to a UGA game or any UGA alum can tell you the same. There's no school who does it quite like like we do here. If you haven't ever experienced a Saturday in Athens, you need to plan to make a trip up here soon. Go dawgs, baby!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
