The Students' Lifestyle

Favorite
Getting out of the country was the best thing that's happened to me. It really made me realize I don't have to be stuck in one place forever. And I met some amazing people and saw some amazing things.

Before I flew off to Korea, one of my best friends and I took a two week tour of the east coast. We tried to make it educational by touring colleges, but honestly we just wanted to see the sights.

I began writing for my school's newspaper, The AUMnibus, during my sophomore year in college and have been writing there ever since. It's a great feeling to see your work actually be printed and published online for everyone to see.

Seeing BigBang in concert was amazing and I ended up meeting some pretty amazing women through the trip.


Getting a car. I spent a good amount of time taking and missing the bus to get to my classes, which sucked because I had to wake up at least two hours before school to ready and wait on the bus. But then I bought a car which quickly eliminated all of the waiting.

Least favorites

Getting a car. I know I listed this in favorites, but the car was a lemon. I felt like I got sucked into buying it and I wasted lots of money fixing it up. I could have payed off a semester of school for all the money that thing cost me.

I worked a lot during college. I had to. That's not a bad thing in itself, but I allowed my work to consume valuable time I could have taken to spend with friends and family.  I now know how to balance work and life a lot better now and I won't let work take me over me like that again.




Favorites
Movie Nights were always a favorite memory in college. At my University there is $1 movie night, which allows me to see any movie in the theater for $1. $1 movie nights were only offered the first and third Wednesday of each months. Last year I went to every movie night.

Living in an Apartment. It's always great to have my own room and bathroom. I just love the privacy.

Dinner Nights
Sometimes my friends will have dinner nights at their apartment which were always fun.

Going to college football and basketball games were also a highlight from my college experience

Least

Being alone.
 It seems like the older I got the more alone I was in college. One of my old roommate said  it best "you can always tell a freshman from a senior, freshman usually come in packs, while seniors usually walk alone."

College Food.

 The food is okay at times, but whenever the dining hall doesn't have a great dinner, I'm usually stuck eating a burger or pizza.

Hello 2016 and good-bye 2015! You know the old saying a lot can happen in year? Well a lot has happened to us. We each had our highs and lows, but we're still making it. We're both hoping that 2016 will be a great year. We want to thank all of our readers for staying with us another year  and we hope that in 2016 you will receive a job, a promotion,  get one step closer to receiving your degree. To recap 2015, we decided to list some of our favorite post from this year.

If you had asked me what death was in junior high, it would have been staying in Montgomery my whole life. Actually it's a well known fact among my generation and the one before us. My high school economics teacher even urged us all to gt out as soon as we could so we wouldn't be trapped here for the rest of our lives like he and others had been.  Not that Montgomery is the worst city ever. It's filled with historical significance and great food, but everyone knows that the city is a dead zone for anyone looking to thrive in the arts. So when I discovered SCAD -Savannah College of Art and Design- I knew that this would be my one way ticket out. SCAD would be thriving with creative people, in a big city, and the Atlanta campus was  only 2 hours away from home. So you can imagine my excitement when I opened my inbox one night and saw a
"Congratulations!" email from SCAD.

I literally cried. I had actually gotten in!

I have a huge imagination. This imagination is one perk of being the only child.  One day I was thinking about celebrities and what type of person they would be if they attended college with me. Here is my take on the type of college students some of these guys would be.

The Weeknd

Tumblr

Lately, I've been obsessing over The Weeknd. If The Weeknd went to college, I would notice his hair before his face. (Side note: There is a guy that currently attends my University that has the exact same hairstyle as The Weeknd.)  Anyway, The Weeknd would smoke pot in his filthy dorm room.
