Bulldogs come out flat on senior day

Georgia suffered a painful 64-39 loss at home at the hands of the Missouri Tigers Wednesday night. The Bulldogs struggles to find their shooting touch, scoring only 14 points in the first half of play. This marks the lowest scoring outing for Georgia on the season.

There is just one game left in the season. The Bulldogs will face off against South Carolina (15-15) in Colonial Life Arena. The Gamecocks are tied for fourth in the SEC with Auburn.

The team rebounded with 25 points in the second period but it was nowhere near enough to keep them in the game. Georgia fell to 11-19 overall and 2-15 in the SEC.

Attendance was at 68 percent capacity for this game, with 7,180 fans in attendance.

No Bulldog scored in double figures. Georgia shot 25 percent overall on the night and 5 percent from three. The team also struggled with free-throws, going just 10-17 (58 percent).

Nicolas Claxton led the team with 9 points, 10 rebounds, a steal, and a block. Jordan Harris was the second leading scorer with 7 points, 3 rebounds, a steal, and a block. Harris has become one of the more reliable options on this Georgia team over the past month or so.

Harris is just a junior so he will be returning for one more season in Athens for the Bulldogs. With seniors Turtle Jackson, Derek Ogbeide, and E'Torrion Wilridge leaving after this season, there will be significant minutes and multiple starting spots up for grabs.

A new wrinkle has been thrown into the plans of the Bulldogs as former five-star recruit Rayshaun Hammonds underwent foot surgery Thursday.

Hammonds was the second leading scorer and rebounder for this Georgia team. He is expected to sit out the remainder of the season and rejoin the team as soon as he is ready to go.

Hammonds was expected to take on a much larger role this season but was plagued with inconsistency and often foul trouble. Next season, his junior season, will go a long way in testing his value to the team.

With one game left, Georgia will almost certainly be hungry for a hard-fought victory.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
