6 Things Only People From Metro Atlanta Get

Something about growing up in metro Atlanta is special. Whether it be being so close to one of the fastest growing cities in the US or always having the best concerts come right to your doorstep, every metro Atlantan can relate to these 6 essential facts about growing up in the A.

1. Friday nights were for football. Period.

Giphy

Football in the South is a way of life, so if your high school wasn't filled with tailgaters and students with paint all over their bodies every Friday night, you definitely didn't get the traditional Georgian high school experience.

2. You definitely didn't live inside the Perimeter, but you told people you did anyway.

Giphy

First of all, saying you're from Atlanta is way easier. Second of all, it sounds way cooler than saying you're from Roswell, Marietta, or Kennesaw.

3. Chick-Fil-A and Moe's were your go-to's in high school.

Giphy

Going to Chick-Fil-A before school and actually making it to school on time was a feat in and of itself: the morning lines alone took at least 45 minutes to get through. And after school, Moe's was the greatest place to get some of the best queso around.

4. When Panda by Desiigner came out, you ate that UP.

Giphy

"I got broads in Atlanta" gave you so much Atlanta pride you could hardly contain it.

5. Any chance of snow threw your school into a riot.

Giphy

The moment Channel 2 Action News came on with a report of even a 10% chance of snow, your Twitter feed blew up with Tweets asking if school was cancelled and people harassing meteorologists.

6. Atlanta sports will forever disappoint you (but you love them unconditionally).

Giphy

Enter the Braves' constant disappointment, the 2017 Super Bowl, and the 2018 National Championship, and you know exactly what it's like to cheer for sports teams in Atlanta/the state of Georgia.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
