About two weeks ago, I went to Atlanta to compete in the Swim Club National meet. We had loads of fun, got to know each other better, and explored such a wonderful city.
In that time, I've realized how nice Atlanta was and decided that one day I wouldn't mind living there. Here are some reasons that you should pack up too:
1. Weather!
The weather is almost always nice! Sure, while I was there, two days were overcast. However, one day it was 74 degrees and sunny, and absolutely wonderful. You'll almost never be missing a dose of vitamin D!
2. The lovely murals
While my swim team and I were driving around the city, I saw dozens of murals painted in random corners. They always depicted something about the area or really featured the vibrancy of Atlanta life. The paintings would incorporate sports, landmarks, or any other stand-outs that the city has to offer.3. Employment
No matter your dream, you can pursue it in Georgia. Atlanta is especially chock-full of jobs for the young and hungry. Hospitals, CNN/Turner Broadcasting, law firms, and plenty of other job opportunities are thriving and waiting for you to apply.
4. Landmarks and buzzing social spots
Whether it's Centennial Olympic Park, the Georgia Aquarium, or the World of Coca-Cola, you'll never be bored. It seems easy to get lost in the city and find something new. There are such beautiful sights and so many things to do, that you'll never feel bored or restless in this thriving, bustling metropolis.
5. SPORTS
The Falcons, Braves, Hawks, and many more...there's a sport for everyone and a team that usually doesn't disappoint (We're not going to talk about the Super Bowl, okay?). Sporting events are a great way to make friends in a new city because they always bring a crowd together. They all share the same passion for the same sport and the atmosphere alone is enough to make you feel like you're home.
Atlanta is a beautiful city with many great qualities. I feel fortunate to have been there for even three days. It's nothing short of southern comfort and a great place for you to call home.
