To all you diehard bulldawg fans, the end of Fall brings not only the cold weather, but the end of a lifestyle -- the end of UGA football season. You spend every week counting down the hours until kick-off and every weekend engulfed in the tailgates and traditions. Once it all ends, your Saturdays become dull and comatose. It feels like an eternity before the beloved season returns…Wait no longer. With Spring comes warm weather, sunny afternoons, and baseball season! As a current Diamond Darling, I spend many of my evenings hanging out in the bleachers, listening to country music and cheering on the bulldawg baseball team. However, there is never as much excitement for this season as there is for football. And the stands are never quite as full.Why is it that football is the only thing that can get us out of our beds on the weekends? There are not nearly as many baseball fanatics as there are football fans. Maybe it is the slow pace of the game or the many weekday night games that cut into our time for precious school work. Whatever the reason, I think it is time that things change.
Baseball may mean more to me than to many of you, and that is why I am so passionate about recruiting more fans. I grew up a Cubs fan and spent many summers at Wrigley Field with my dad. The start of baseball season always symbolized the beginning of freedom and relaxation. Munching on boiled peanuts and slurping down a giant lemonade brought joy to me. If you don’t have the same feelings towards baseball, maybe it is because you have not given it a chance. Or maybe you have, and if that’s the case, give it another shot.
Foley Field could bring you all of these new memories. This year is the year to start supporting the baseball team and racking in the fans. Sports teams always do better with a bigger and rowdier crowd in the stands. If this spring season, we could get more people to come out, I think the team could perform exponentially better. What is the harm in catching a little rays and hanging out with friends at the baseball game?
The Bulldawgs have a new head coach this season, Scott Stricklin, and an exciting schedule. Many of the team’s greatest players are underclassmen and bring delight to the team. And, the Diamond Darlings are always passing out signed baseballs or pizza to lucky fans. But you have to attend the games to be a part of it all. So get out there and cheer on the bulldawg baseball team.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.
shiny things
StableDiffusion
Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
2. Listen to your heart and follow it wherever it may take you.
listen to your heart
StableDiffusion
Moana always felt the ocean calling her name but it wasn't until she finally listened to it that she was able to learn why it had been calling her and where it was taking her.
3. Face your fears.
face your fear
StableDiffusion
Moana itself teaches this lesson in nearly every scene but I think it is best demonstrated when Moana continues to go back to confront Te Ka, the goddess of fire, with the desperate hope of being able to complete the task the ocean had given her. Maui also faces his fears in this scene as he comes back to help Moana after previously saying that he wouldn't.
4. If life knocks you down try again and again until you can stand tall.

Maui was certainly feeling defeated numerous times throughout the movie but he kept getting back up and eventually became the strongest and best demigod he has ever been.
5. The ones we love never leave us, their lessons last forever.
Lessons of life
StableDiffusion
Grandma Tala dies, it is by her faith in Moana and the lessons she has taught her that Moana is able to finally follow the call of the ocean. Grandma Tala said she wanted to come back as a stingray, which she did just when Moana needed her most.
6. When you make a mistake, fix it.

Maui made the fatal mistake stealing the heart of Te Fiti because he thought that would make the humans happy. Instead, he ensured the destruction of the ocean and all of the islands that inhabit it. Thankfully, Moana came along to teach Maui about the error of his ways and help him to fix the damage he has caused.
7. Never be afraid of being different.

Grandma Tala tells it best; she was never afraid of what other people on the island thought of her and the ways in which she lived her life differently than the them. She simply did the things that made her happy and tried to teach others to do the same.
8. All we all really want is to be loved.
love
StableDiffusion
The reason why Maui took the heart of Te Fiti in the first place was because he wanted the love and approval of the humans and he felt that that was the best way for him to receive it. Maui's parents abandoned him as a child so he was always desperately searching for love because it was so absent from his life.
9. You are stronger than you think.

Before embarking on her quest, Moana knew nothing about sailing let alone working with a demigod to return the heart of Te Fiti. However, she learned that she was far more powerful than she could ever had hoped to be as she persevered through every obstacle. Although there were times when she wanted to give up, at one point she even did, she always somehow found the strength to continue working towards her goal.
10. Kindness is what brings the world to life.

Moana showing Te ka kindness and compassion is what led to Te Ka returning back to Te Fiti, the living mother island and restoring the world to it's beautiful and fruitful live.

1. The one who sits in the front row
StableDiffusionThere's at least one of these people in every single class, whether it's a required General Education class or an upper division major course. These students always sit in the front row and ask at least five questions every lecture. They attend all the discussions and office hours, and try to turn in homework at least a week in advance. These are also the people who remind professors about assigned homework and upcoming exams. Nothing bad about being studious, but are they even human?
2. The one who is always online shopping
StableDiffusionIt doesn't matter whether it's fall, winter, spring or summer - these people are online shopping every single lecture. They usually sit a row or few in front of you, and while the professor is lecturing, instead of taking notes or even trying to act like they're listening, they just aimlessly scroll through Aritzia, Forever 21 and Zara. The only time their eyes ever leave their computer screen is when class ends, so they're basically just there for giggles.
3. The one who always falls asleep
StableDiffusionThis person comes to class every day, but somehow never stays awake for more than 20 minutes. You can sometimes hear the occasional snore from a corner of a large lecture hall, or catch their heads nodding like a pendulum near the front of the class if they're the studious type. But let's be real here: we've all been one of those students at some point.
4. The one who never pays attention
StableDiffusionThis category of students is probably the most common. Sure, they'll go to class, but all they do is surf through memes on Facebook or watch others play Fortnite. These people are in class for the attendance grade, not to learn. On occasion, they may raise their hand in class to ask a generic, vague question that has already been covered but hey, gotta get that participation grade. They're just doing everything they can to survive college, and honestly, it's a mood.
5. The one who never studies (but still aces the class)
StableDiffusionStanding as probably the most frustrating category of people in this list, these students won't know about a midterm until two days before. The day before the exam, they'll be chilling in Malibu and partying at night. They go to class every once in a while when the class time doesn't clash with one of their many elaborate social plans, but never pay attention. Somehow, they still ace all their exams and end up with the top grade in the class.
6. The one who is always stressed
StableDiffusionThese people will start studying for a midterm at least two weeks before hand, and will be so stressed about homework and classes that they spend more time worrying about the workload than actually doing the work itself. They're in desperate need of a relaxing vacation that they're too stressed to plan, and they disappear from the outside world for weeks at a time. You can usually find them in a study room in a library, where they probably have been in for the past week.
7. The one you've never seen before
StableDiffusionYou didn't even know that they were in your class to begin with because they never show up until it's exam week. Are they too smart for the class or struggling too hard to care? The world may never know. Maybe they're just straight chilling in their apartments being lazy, but most of time, they probably didn't even put this class on their schedules. Catch them going to Disneyland on a weekday at least once a month, which is more than the frequency that they attend class.
Healthy Pets
1. Dime and a Mime
I think that this one would be super cute except one of the dates would have to not talk the entire function which would be extremely difficult.
2. Ramp and a Lamp
This is my personal favorite except it would be difficult to dress up like a ramp.
3. Hooters and Shooters
For this you could have one person dress up like hooter's girl and have one person wear plastic shot glasses with color glue in them.
4. Sherlock and Woodstock
For this one person could wear a cape and a Sherlock hat with a magnifying glass and the other person could dress up like the bird Woodstock or the festival.
5. Spaghetti and a Yeti
StableDiffusion
This would be the coolest idea to do. To dress up like a bowl of spaghetti and a Yeti. The only thing you would have to watch would to make sure that the Yeti didn't eat the spaghetti.
6. Whale and snail
StableDiffusionThis would be very cute. You could use a backpack or a laundry basket for the shell.
7. Ladder and Bladder
StableDiffusionI don't know if you have seen the bladder cartoon but just imagine someone dressed up like that. Wouldn't that be so cute?
8. Rake and Snake
StableDiffusion
The snake could use the rake. This would be a very easy to dress up for.
9. Jam and Ham
StableDiffusionYou could dress up like a thing of jam or like a dollop of jam and just wear a single color.
10. Pig and a Twig
StableDiffusion
You could dress with pink and then the other person could dress with brown.
11. Banana and Nana
StableDiffusionAll you need for this one is a banana costume and old lady clothes
12. Dairy and Fairy
StableDiffusion
One person would dress up as a milk carton and the other as any kind of fairy.
13. Hibachi and Versace
StableDiffusionI think that this is the most creative pairing that has ever been thought of. The hibachi person would definitely have to have one of those tall hats they wear.
14. Trash bag and American Flag
StableDiffusion
You could put your arms through the straps that come out of the trash bag and just wrap an American flag around yourself (as long as it doesn't touch the floor).
15. Gumball Machine and American Dream
StableDiffusionThis would be super cute if the person who was the gumball put puffballs onto their shirt and wore silver pants.
What is a rhyme without reason date function?
A rhyme without reason date function is a social gathering when partners show up wearing outfits that rhyme with each other. It opens up an opportunity for creativity. It is most popular on college campuses, though it can be extended to other parts of society as a fun way to play dress-up. It also gains additional popularity around Halloween time, given the interest in costumes and dressing up for that holiday.
What are some top ideas for a rhyme without reason?
There are so many options: A Dog and a Frog could be fun. A Ramp and a Lamp, a Whale and a Snail, a Rake and a Snake, a Trash Bag and a Flag, and Bob Ross and Dental Floss are just some ideas for a rhyme without reason date function. Using your own creativity, you could think of countless more options and if you explore the web, you'll find lists out there to provide inspiration. Rhyming without reason at the end of the day is all about having fun.
What are some sources of rhyme without reason inspiration?
For starters, TikTok has a whole collection of rhyme without reason ideas. You could browse those for quite some time and find plenty of inspiration. You might also look toward Her Campus for plenty more ideas or our handy list. There's no shortage of options around the web, but some of the best ideas may come from you. Start with the rhyming perspective and then think about what fun pairings would be for a real-life rhyme without reason costume party.

Never would I have thought a few years ago that I would be such a huge yoga fanatic, that I would be hitting the gym almost every day to get to class, and that I would be forming all these amazing relationships with so many incredible people who also share a love for you. You've enhanced my way of life in numerous ways that I need to thank you for.
Thank you for showing me my true strength. Not only physical strength, but more importantly mental strength. You've shown me that I am more than what others may think of me, and that I can rise above any obstacle that comes through my path.
StableDiffusion
Thank you for helping me to walk through life with grace and passion.To love what I do and love the life that I share with those around me. Before experiencing yoga, I never truly understood what it was like to be passionate about something. Now that I have, not only do I know what it's like to be passionate, but also have a willing to be passionate.
Thank you for teaching me what it is like to appreciate the small things in life. Which has only helped me more to appreciate the big things. You've shown me to not only appreciate the life around me, but also to give myself the appreciation that I deserve. And more importantly, give others the appreciation that they deserve.
StableDiffusion
Thank you for allowing me to let go. Whenever I feel as if I need a break from the world, the yoga studio is the first place I think of. As soon as I enter the studio, the outside world leaves my mind. You've allowed me an escape that I will be forever thankful for.
Thank you for turning me into a mindful person. Having mindfulness is harder than it seems, especially here in today's society. Over the past couple years, I have become more mindful to the world around me, I have been able to truly be myself and let everyone else be themselves -- all thanks to yoga.
And lastly, thank you for allowing me to breathe. As simple as it sounds, breathing is the one thing that I carry around most with me off the mat. Deep breaths are what get me through the day. Throughout tough situations, emotional battles, and stressful times, I always know to come back to my yoga, to come back to my breath.
I only hope that those around me feel the same way as I do about you, yoga. You have truly transformed my life in the best way imaginable. It is a gift and a great privilege to be able to experience the practice. Thanks to you, I have grown as a person, proved to myself the true strength I have, become more aware and have ultimately started living a better life.
You're the best,
Your Yoga-Obsessed Friend

The Norse cosmos began with two worlds, Niflheim and Muspellheim. These two worlds, the worlds of primordial cold and fire, were separated by a great fissure called Ginnungagap. The waters from the well Hvergelmir, at the center of Niflheim, by many rivers flowed into Ginnungagap and "when those rivers, which are called Elivagar, came so far from their source, the poisonous flow hardened like a slag of cinders running from a furnace, and became ice. ...Then layer by layer, the ice grew within Ginnungagap" (Byock 13). The northernmost regions of the gap filled with hoar frost and rime, but the southernmost were "the regions bordering on Muspell [and] were warm and bright" (Byock 13). Where the cold of Niflheim's ice and the warmth of Muspellheim's fire met in Ginnungagap the ice thawed, and "there was a quickening in these flowing drops and life sprang up" (Byock 14). From the ice came Ymir, known as Aurgelmir by the giants, the origin of all frost giants. As the wise giant Vafthruthnir says, "'down from Elivagar did venom drop, / And waxed till a giant it was; / And thence arose our giants' race, / And thus so fierce are we found'" (Bellows 76-77).
