Home Sweet College

-


Going to college is a huge step in life and moving to a new place for college is huge leap. No worries though, here are some of the things I've done to make college in Mobile feel a little more homey.

1. Go to college with friends

I was lucky enough to come to South along with about 6 of my friends from high school, so, automatically I had a piece of home with me. What made it even better is that I now room with 3 of those friends in an apartment!

2. Bring your favorite stuffed animal

Maybe I'm the only one who has a stuffed animal, but I brought my stuffed monkey Rafiki with me and he reminds me of being at home with my family. So, if you got one, bring it!

3. Decorate!

One of my favorite things to do is decorate my room, so be sure to make your room feel as homey as possible for when you just need to relax after a long day of classes. Try even bring some decor from your old room at home to make it extra homey.

4. Have friends come visit

This is super important because it makes for a great weekend and it'll feel as if you were back in your hometown hanging out with your best friend, except this time you're showing them around your new home!

5. Pictures, pictures, and more pictures!

This kind of goes with the decorating thing but go print out some of your favorite memories from back home and incorporate it with the new pictures of all the new memories you've made here at South!

Volunteering as a College Student!

A great way to get involved when your're in college is to volunteer! Many of the clubs on campus incorporate volunteering because it is important to get volunteer hours and they look great on resumes! You can also get involved with volunteering individually. There are many places that need volunteers including food banks, animal rescue places, and even some local businesses. I personally like to volunteer when I go back home to Huntsville and I usually either volunteer at A New Leash on Life (animal rescuer) or Manna House which is a food/clothing/hygiene distribution center. I think it's important to volunteer because it is simply the right thing to do to help out the community and you can also meet really great people in the process. So, what are you waiting for? Go volunteer!

A Week In My Life At USA

This is just a little look into my life here at South Alabama! Monday's are always pretty slow, although, what made it better was that I have my favorite classes on Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays! Anatomy & Physiology and Microbiology are the only classes I had and once I got out of class me and my roommate went grocery shopping for the week! After that, I had about an hour to hang out around the apartment, then it was time for work. Once I was done with that I headed to the library and studied for anatomy until 1 AM. Bleh! Tuesdays are pretty nice because I don't have class until 12:30 so I was able to sleep in! Then I left to go to Philosophy and History, which was nice because I got my essay graded and got an A! Then, after class I went to my apartment to eat and watch Shane Dawson's series on Jake Paul and after I headed to work. After work it was time to head to the library to continue studying till 1 AM. Finally, it's Wednesday and I, again, go to my c

When you're a college student your life is filled with so many twists and turns and some weeks may be super busy and some may be super laid back. Although, I try to make my weeks a little bit of both, here's a look at a week in my life as a student at South Alabama! Here's what me and my friends had when we went out for a small girls trip to Fairhope! Game night is a great way to relieve stress after a long day of classes! You also can't forget about studying! Personally I occasionally like a change of scenery and love to go to Gulf Shores and study on the beach! If you live in Mobile, you're going to love going to all of the Mardi Gras parades! Me and my friends actually have a detailed schedule just to fit in parades with our studying! And finally, to end off the week me and my friends had a great time helping future students learn more about USA!
