UGA Has A Long Way To Go In Football

UGA Has A Long Way To Go In Football

Last week's loss to Tennessee was another upsetting win for a team that looked promising before the year started. With the defensive coordinator for last year's national champions as our head coach and ESPN's 2016 top high school quarterback as our freshman star player, this season looked bright for the Georgia Bulldogs.

Issues began to surface at the North Carolina game, and the disappointment continued with Georgia's lackluster performance against Nicholls State on September 10th. While the Dawgs won by two points, issues throughout the game with the offensive line and specifically Eason's performance agitated many fans. Some of those problems can be attributed to the natural difficulty of changing coaching staff and adding a freshman quarterback in the same year.

Next came Missouri, where the Dawgs won by one point, and then the Ole Miss game. The Ole Miss game started off rough, with Georgia's offense struggling to make meaningful plays, and it never improved. The defense was incapable of holding off Ole Miss' strong offense, and a lack of coordination on the offensive line did not help even out the scores. Coming out of that game, many fans were understandably nervous for the Tennessee game.

Georgia, however, delivered a decent game of football against Tennessee. Our offense made a few excellent plays and looked more solid than previously. The defense worked very hard to keep Tennessee from scoring, especially with the multiple touchdown blocks towards the end of the second quarter. The Hail Mary at the end happens, and the final score- and Georgia's loss by only 3 points- does reflect how hard both teams played. It may have been a rough season until now, but hopefully the Dawgs' upward trajectory will continue.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
