1. Redneck Beach

It is about to start warming up and this is the perfect little spot in Athens where you can get all of your friends together and explore somewhere off of campus. There is a beautiful waterfall and a lot of great places to Eno. This spot gets pretty popular in the warmer seasons, but it is a great time that is free of charge!

2. The Iron Horse

The Iron Horse is a huge sculpture in a middle of a field, and although this might sound boring it is the perfect spot for several different activities. This field is a great spot to see all of the stars at night; it gives a perfect view because the sky is not masked by the city life. During the day time, this is a great place to go and take picture with your friends!

3. Trail Creek

Trail Creek is a mountain bike trail and it is for moderate riders. It is a great place to get out and enjoy the outdoors, and there is even a playground-- because who doesn't love to still play on the swings.

4. Sandy Creek

Sandy Creek is a little bit further away, but this is a great place to grab some of your friends and take a day trip to! This park is an area with plenty of space where you can play sports or just hang out and enjoy some sun. There is also a beach area where you can swim in the lake. Now that it is about to start warming up this would be a great place to tan or to just get out of Athens for the day.

5. Showtime Bowling

Showtime Bowling is located at the end of Lumpkin and it is a unique atmosphere where you can go with friends and pay minimum for food and fun! It is super close to campus so it is perfect for nights when you are tired of studying and just need to get out for a bit. Not only do they have bowling, but they also have a arcade center, so you can channel your inner competitiveness and have a great night with friends!

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.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
