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

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.

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!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
