Officially being a student at UGA has been a fun and eye-opening experience! I officially moved in a little over two weeks ago, but I feel like I have been here for months. Exploring areas with my friends has opened my eyes to so many places that I had no idea existed! Here is a list of 5 places that you would not know about before living in Athens.

State Botanical Garden of Georgia

I literally had no idea that there was a Botanical Garden near UGA! I went there this past week with a friend, and it was beautiful! There were many varieties of plants and butterflies flying everwhere. I highly recommend going with friends to walk around or even study amongst the garden.

Bruster's

I know Bruster's is not unique to Athens. There is a Brusters in my hometown, but I literally had no clue there was one by UGA. Apparently it opened this past year. It is ginormous, and I know I will be making a lot trips to it throughout the year.

Barberitos

I never knew that Athens had so many Mexican food places before coming here! It is slowly becoming one of my favorite food types. Barberitos has many locations across Athens, and a wide variety of different Mexican foods. I got a salad taco bowl which was literally a chicken salad in a taco shell bowl. It was one of my favorite meals I have had in Athens so far. Highly recommend!

Milledge Walks

I had no idea that Milledge was such a popular spot for walks. This stretch houses many sororities and fraternities and is fairly flat, so a perfect spot to walk with friends. You also get to look at all the houses!

Iron Horse

For those who do not know, the Iron Horse is literally a GIGANTIC iron horse that is placed amongst a sunflower field aroung 30 minutes from UGA. It is a perfect spot for a sunrise/sunset watch or picnic. Going during sunflower season would be amazing, but if not it is still a beautiful sight.

I hope this gives you more of an insight into what fun places there are around UGA that are lesser known. If you are coming to visit or even planning on being a student at UGA in the future, you should definitely check out these spots!

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

8 Easy Ways to Get Involved in College

It's easier than you think.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
