Saturday in Athens was extra special on the twenty-first night of September with Notre Dame's Fighting Irish in town. A day jam-packed of events that made the Bulldog Nation louder than ever. With record attendance in Sanford Stadium and around 300,000 people who made their way to the Classic City to see just how lucky the Irish are, the day was exciting as ever. With ESPN's College GameDay on Myer's Quad and a game between #3 and #7 on Dooley Field, Athens was the place to be on September 21st. There were many great moments throughout the day, but a few stood out.

1. Rick Flair being there.

College GameDay brought WWE star and Bulldog fan, Rick Flair. His "Woo Woo" livened up the audience who had been waiting hours for the show to finally begin. He was the perfect start to begin a long and exciting day!

2. Lee Corso wearing the Hairy Dawg head.

Nothing screams Bulldog pride more than the country's favorite mascot, UGA. In the past, Lee Corso publicized his resentment for the French Bulldog. However, during the College GameDay festivities, Corso forgot his hatred and put on the Hairy Dawg head – making the crowd erupt in cheers!

3. The F16 flyover.

I have seen fighter jets in my life, but something made the flyover on Saturday night extra special. With the jam-packed stadium – prepping for the game – the F16 jets flying over Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium, created an atmosphere of Bulldog and Georgia pride that continued throughout the night!

4. The Redcoat halftime performance.

Every Georgia fan loves the Redcoat Band, but their performance on Saturday night was a little extra special because it included the audience. The band's Karaoke Spectacular had the crowd on their feet, keeping the fan's engaged regardless of football. The performance helped to keep the energy in the stands up and ready for the second half of the game!

5. D’Andre being swift on the field.

Momentum started picking up after halftime. Play after play put the Bulldogs back on top, but the most exciting moment happened in the third quarter by Georgia Runningback D'Andre Swift. Completely hurdling a Notre Dame player in an attempt to get further to the Endzone, Swift's performance had the crowd in awe, putting the Fighting Irish out of luck!

6. The “Lighting up” of Sanford.

Throughout the week leading up to the game, there were different rumors and predictions – some of which came true and others not. The much-anticipated lighting up of Sanford started extra special due to the pitch-black skies. After the tradition concluded, fans were still excited for the final quarter, but were hoping that the rumor of a "red out" would have taken place … until it did. A blaze of red LED lights made its way throughout the stadium and brought about a dynamic sense of Georgia pride!

7. The mad dash to the hedges.

As a freshman, I have dreamt of the moment where I can storm the field alongside my classmates after a victory. While the dash to the hedges was not as amazing as being between them, it was still an amazing feeling. It represented pride in the university and team, but most importantly, a pride in the Dawgs. It showed how important this win was not only for the football program but the students and the University of Georgia as a whole. Everybody who lined up alongside the hedges knew that the next time we will be this excited for a win will be in a Playoff matchup!

8. Fromm & Blankenship on the golf cart.

I do not believe it is possible for a more iconic duo – every Bulldog's favorite Kicker, Rodrigo Blankenship, with every Bulldog's favorite quarterback, Jake Fromm. While fans were still victorious over Georgia's win, cheering on the players along the hedges, a golf cart passes the student section with Fromm and Blankenship in the back. The two players who symbolize so much for the team spotted riding right next to each other is every fan's dream. This was their victory ride right in front of the student's who cheered on their favorite team at such high of a caliber that everybody realized, UGA is now home to the 12th man!

The best moment of the day was yet another Dawg's Win! With one of the most talked-about games of the season under Georgia's belt, it is only up from here and hopefully an SEC Championship in December. The game and festivities showed every UGA fan how great it is to be a Georgia Bulldog!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.
