11 Things Every UGA Student Needs To Do In Athens

When you’re a student at the University of Georgia, it can be easy to let your entire life be taken over by school work and the stress of becoming an adult in the real world. It is so important to remember to enjoy your time here between the hedges. Life isn’t all about studying, it’s about getting out there and experiencing things with the people around you. Here is a quick bucket list of things to get up to in the Classic City before Graduation Day!

1. Hiking at the Botanical Gardens.

Don't miss out on this beautiful scenery! This is the perfect spot for a relaxing hike by the river.

2. Dining at the infamous Mama’s Boy.

For your own sake, order a Mama's Boy biscuit. You won't regret it.

3. Visiting the Tree That Owns Itself.

This one's hard to find, but that's half the fun!

4. Take Selfies with all the Bulldog Statues!

Make it a competition with your friends to see who can get the most selfies with the Bulldog statues found all over Athens.

5. Ringing the Chapel Bell.

This is practically mandatory. Are you really a UGA student if you don't ring the bell at least once?

6. Hiking the North Oconee River Greenway.

Another awesome hiking spot that will give you a nice little get away from the stress of school.

7. Going to a Concert at the Georgia Theatre.

The Georgia Theatre holds tons of amazing concerts, be sure to purchase your tickets and enjoy the social life of Athens!

8. Visiting the Lyndon House Arts Center.

Come and get a taste of Athens' culture at the Lyndon House Arts Center!

9. Jumping into the Herty Field Fountain.

If you didn't do this during orientation, it's not too late!

10. Go Skydiving with SkyDawgs!

Who doesn't want to go skydiving? UGA has its very own skydiving club, and they are ready to help you experience the rush that is jumping out of a plane thousands of feet in the air.

11. Make friends, eat great food, and experience more than just campus!

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.

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.

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.
