My First South Visit

Hey ya'll. This week I'm going to talk about my first visit to South. I came to the November USA Day in 2016 and after leaving, I knew this was where I wanted to be. Everyone that I met was so welcoming and I immediately saw myself going here and growing here. Our campus is so beautiful and there is so much to do. We have state-of-the-art buildings, as well as great majors. USA Day was kind of a blur because I saw so much that day, but I felt at peace with my choice to attend USA. Before I knew it, I was registering for orientation. If you're interested in South, I would highly recommend that you come to visit. This institution looks great on paper, but you can't really get the full effect of what it would be like to be a Jaguar until you visit. So come and visit us. I would love to see all of you. :)

It's Springtime-The Best Time to be Outdoors!

Image
Hey, everyone. I am back with another blog for the week and this week, I am going to talk about my one of my favorite outdoor spaces in Mobile. Of course I love going to the beach, but when I don't feel like making the drive, I like to go to Langan Municipal Park. This park is only a short distance away from campus and I love to go there to clear my head or just get some fresh air. There are playgrounds and swing sets, if you want to release your inner child and a track where you can get some exercise. There is a boardwalk over-looking a lake at the park where you can see ducks and turtles swimming in the water. There are spaces to entertain and lots of open space to do any outdoor activity you may have in mind! I like to go there especially when I'm stressed because it is very quiet and relaxing at the park. I think this is a place everyone should come and explore for themselves. That's all for today, guys. Feel free to ask me about all things South! Go Jags!

How I Give Back

Hey, guys! I am back with another blog for the week. This week I am talking about how I give back to the community. I have always enjoyed community service since I began in high school so I knew when I got to South, I had to find a way to continue. One of my scholarships requires that I do community service, which I think is really amazing. I do most of my volunteering through organizations that I am involved in like ABK Honor Society and I also do some volunteering as a Development Delegate for the Office of Alumni Relations. We do various things both on and off campus. Aside from these organizations, I also volunteer alone. For people that are not so outgoing, we have a website called South Serves that has so many opportunities and needs that need to be met. You can narrow down where you want to volunteer and what kind of work you want to do. I think it's very important to give back to the community I live in because it keeps me humble and sometimes helping others helps me more t

Hey, future Jags! As senior year comes to a close, it's important to start thinking about the next steps. The summer before entering college can be the best and most nerve-wracking time in your life. So many emotions may be going through your head (anxiety, excitement, fear, etc.), but you must prepare for the road ahead. Personally, I came to South after graduating high school and it was an adjustment coming to Mobile, which is three hours away from my hometown. So, to make your transitions go more smoothly, I am going to give you five tips to prepare yourself to come to South Alabama in the fall: 1. Get your things together. I have lived on campus for the almost two years that I have been at South and I like to make my room look as much like home as possible. If you are living on campus, take the summer to get the necessary things you need for your room in our residence halls. There are many other people around you that will also be going off to college and returning to coll
