Since many high school students who want to apply to University of Georgia (UGA) have questions about the education and environment, I decided to interview my friend, who is a student there, about the lifestyle. Ever since I came to America and first started thinking about college, UGA has always been my top pick. Luckily for me, my friend Preethi was accepted into the school and informed me all about it. I always knew UGA was a great school but her experiences made me realize life there would be better than I thought.

What is the hardest part about studying at UGA?

"Since you only have a few classes a day the rest of the time should be spent on studying, but it is hard to discipline yourself and actually study. Additionally, every exam is weighted heavily and it is worse when you have multiple major grades in one week."

What is the best part about studying at UGA?

"There are many nice places to study. When you get bored of studying, changing your location can help you stay focused. Not to mention, the food is great."

How is the living environment at UGA?

"UGA has an outstandingly beautiful campus. The living environment, for many students, varies based on dorm and as a result, varies based on person. Some people have better experiences than others. The location and type of your dorm in relation to your classes is a major factor in this. Additionally, there are many courtyards situated around the campus where students can relax and enjoy themselves while playing games and sports such as Frisbee."

What facilities have you seen in your campus that you think help you and your fellow classmates study more effectively?

"There are study rooms in every dorm or if you do not like a completely silent environment you can study in the lobby as well. Additionally, there are multiple libraries and student centers located at various parts of the campus."

What do you think of your classes this year?

"Philosophy (Introduction to Ethics) and African American Sociology are relatively easy classes that are not very time consuming. Moreover, sociology is a very interesting class because it deals with racial issues that we are facing in the world today. Physical Geography involves a great amount of textbook reading and there are no easy grades; the only grades you have are tests and a final making it very stressful. Pre-calculus is a moderately difficult course and the course structure is similar to that of a high school class but with less instructional time."

Since this is your first year at UGA, do you think high school was easier or harder to settle in than college?

"I felt that high school was a bigger change for me. Since I took many APs in high school, I felt more prepared for college. If I had not I am sure that college would have been a harder change, especially since it is also the first time you are living away from home."

What majors would you recommend specifically for the incoming UGA freshmen next year?

"It is well known that UGA has a great business program. Psychology is also one of the majors with the most applicants. After going to UGA I realized that they are also many people who major in Physical Therapy which I did not expect. This shows how UGA has many majors to choose from including some that you may not even know about."

What advice would you give to the new UGA freshmen next year?

"My best advice for the incoming freshmen is to stay on top of their work and not fall behind."

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
