The University of North Georgia is a magical place, complete will a giant drill field that basically doubles the time it takes to get across campus (it makes it like five minutes instead of maybe two. Rough life.) and a delightful group of students and professors. UNG in Dahlonega bosts a funky-fresh chow hall where you have ample opportunity to experiment with your meals, some semi-tolerable residence halls, plenty of opportunities to get involved on campus, and an awesome small-town feel, even though there are way too many freshmen (let's be honest). The following is a follow-up to July's 11 Signs You Go To UNG In Dahlonega.
1. PBJ is a person, not a snack.
One time, I parked in her parking space. I felt so powerful.
2. Your favorite pastime is a frat lap around the Drill Field.
Preferably with the windows down and some country music playing.
3. You're excited about the prospect of getting to tell your children that you LITERALLY went to school uphill both ways.
4. You're tired of people asking if you plan on staying all four years.
Filling out college applications was no fun the first time, so why would I want to do it again? This is a pretty great school, anyway.
5. Two words: Gold Rush.
It's a fantastic opportunity to get community service hours if you're Greek or in a service organization. Otherwise, it's basically a sequel to the movie The Purge.
6. You're super worried about the fact that the cannon is missing.
Not because you miss the boom at retreat (any idiot can see 5pm on their watch and yell BOOM), but because that means there's some random person with an operational CANNON in their possession.
7. The overhaul of the website just about gave you a heart attack.
It's October and I'm still not sure where anything is.
8. The Lumpkin County Animal Shelter is always the best place to go to relieve stress.
Had a rough day? Go pet some puppies and accidentally adopt 7 kittens.
9. You know how to get everywhere, but don't know the road names.
Maybe it's 60. Maybe it's 52 or 53. South Chestatee? Main Street? Who knows.
10. Every time you see Campus PD, you think of every traffic violation you've ever committed, ever.
15 MPH around the drill field, people.
11. And the same is true with Dahlonega PD and the millions of State Troopers that like to hang out up here.
Especially if you have Greek letters on your car, strangely.
12. You're pretty sure Nix is the most confusing building on campus.
If you've ever had a class that wasn't on the first floor, you've probably gotten lost multiple times.
13. You also probably get real confused trying to get from Newton Oakes to Dunlap, or vice versa.
14. You're real salty the library hours changed.
Because sometimes you need until 3 or 4am to finish that paper that's due tomorrow.
