9 Reasons Why Going To A SEC School Is The Greatest Decision You Will Ever Make

High school seniors deciding where they're going to continue their education are faced with a difficult decision. They're deciding where they want to spread their wings and grow as a person. If they ask any of us who chose a school in the SEC, we will stand by our decision one-hundred percent. We're so passionate about the colleges in the Southeastern Conference for a number of reasons.

9. The Size

Some might say it's overwhelming, but those who have attended these great universities know that the size of the student body isn't scary. It's actually pretty fun. The more the merrier, right?

8. The Greek Life

If greek life is something you're interested in, there is nothing quite like greek life in the SEC.

7. The Opportunities

Greek life isn't for you? Well good news, there's plenty of opportunities to get involved all over the campuses. From church small groups to SGA, there's something out there for everyone in such large universities such as those in the SEC.

6. The South


This goes without saying, right? Those who live in the South will agree, nothing compares. The weather, the sweet tea, the southern charm... Good luck finding a greater place to reside.

5. The Recognition

There isn't anything better than the pride you feel when someone asks you where you go to college. There's never a time when someone replies "Where is that? I've never heard of that college." And sometimes you overhear people talking about your college, whether it's about sports or academics, and all you do is get giddy and want to yell, "Yeah! That's my school!"

4. The Academics

There's a reason people go down south for higher education.

3. The Football

It's cliche and obvious, but one of the best things about SEC schools is the football. Until you've experienced it, you'll never understand. There's something about Saturdays in the fall that brings us joy like we're seven years old and it's Christmas morning.

2. The Tradition

This goes hand-in-hand with the football. We roll trees, ring cow bells, sing choruses, and kiss when we score. The traditions are what makes SEC schools, SEC schools.

1. The Best of the Best


There's a reason alumni always return. They return to talk about their glory days and to cheer on their alma mater. They return because the schools of Southeastern Conference are best schools out there. It's something in the atmosphere. It's something you cannot describe.

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.
