Advice I Would Give 17-Year-Old Me

Image result for prepareIf I could go back in time to about two and a half years ago and give myself advice, I would tell myself to start preparing sooner for college. Waiting until the last minute to prepare for college can cause a lot of stress, and by starting early, you can reduce some of that stress. This includes applying for college sooner, so you have plenty of time to take the next steps. Also, make sure to apply for orientation and housing on time so you don't miss out on the orientation session you want or the housing you want. Overall, getting a head start never hurts, and it is especially helpful when preparing for college!

What I've Learned About Myself Since Becoming a Jag

Image
Hey Future Jags! Finals week is finally here and I am now officially done with my classes! Since it is the end of the year, I would like to share what I have learned about myself from the 1 and a half years I've been here at USA. I have learned how to be independent. This is really important to me, because in high school, I always had friends in my classes and always felt comfort in knowing everyone around me. College has really helped me learn to branch and out do things on my own, as well as make new friends in classes or during our Jaguar Production events. This new found independent side of myself I know will help me drastically once I get out into the world after graduation, and I will have peace of mind knowing I will be just fine.

It's Almost Fall Break!!

Hey future Jags! It's almost fall break here at South Alabama, and to say I am excited would an understatement. During breaks, it is important to make sure you get some well deserved you time. For me, this includes Netflix, Netflix, and more Netflix!! Okay, not too much, but enough to get caught up on my favorite shows. I also love just pampering myself. Getting some inexpensive face masks and other pamper-like products really get me in the relaxation mood. Kicking back and relaxing is super calming and soothing, especially in the comfort of your own home. I know not everyone's relaxation time will look exactly like mine, but finding your perfect type of relaxation will aid in the perfect break from school and get you prepared to go back better than ever!

My Favorite Outdoor Place on Campus

Image
It's Spring time here at South, and I couldn't be more excited! I absolutely love the warm weather and being outdoors during this season. My all time favorite place to be on campus during this time of the year is definitely the nature trails. They have several different trails, and they are extremely easy to follow. Along with that, there are informative plaques along the way so you can learn about the plant-life/animal-life that you may encounter along the way. I especially take advantage of these trails when I need a break from studying so I can get a breath of fresh air and take in the warmth of the season.
