Keppner Boxing
“Boxing, also known as the "Sweet Science", is an age old combat sport and martial art testing one's physical strength, speed, endurance, skill and reflexes as well as mental toughness, determination, dedication and heart.”
-Keppner Boxing Website

If you’ve ever driven down Baxter Street, you’ve driven past a boxing studio that is a home away from home to some of Athens’ most dedicated athletes. Keppner Boxing is a family owned facility that is well known for their passionate coaches and dedicated boxers in the Athens area. Keppner prides itself on their commitment to helping people become the best version of themselves through boxing for fitness or competition. Keppner Boxing also provides a positive and supportive environment for people looking to learn and get in top notch shape without ever having to fight or take a hit. If you’re looking for a way to get involved in the world of boxing, your chance is quickly approaching.

On February 3, 2017, Boxers from the Athens area will be participating in an event known as “Friday Night Fights” at the Athens Arena 280, located off of Commerce Blvd. in Bogart, GA. This event is going to feature several matches between amateur boxers such as Petey (Rachel) Peterson and Octavious Bowens. These two well-known locals are only two of the boxers this evening is going to feature, so make sure you come out to see the entirety of the boxers participating in Friday Night Fights! Not only will this be a great opportunity to come out and support the Athens Boxing community, but it is a venue that is perfect for a fun Friday night out with friends as there will be a full bar and BBQ available on site.

The doors open at 7:00 p.m. and the first match starts at 8:00 p.m. This leaves you time to mingle and enjoy the amenities Friday Night Fights has to offer before sitting down to cheer on the boxers as they take on the ring. This is an event you do not want to miss, so be sure to show up with all of your friends this Friday for a night you’re sure to remember!

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.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
