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!

When you're in college studying is a pretty big part of your life, so I've compiled a list of some of my favorite spots to hangout and study! 1. Marx Library This is a given since it is right on campus.They have plenty of group study rooms with white boards and some even have TV's for when you're practicing for a presentation or when you're studying with a large group of people! 2. Starbucks in the Marx Library This Starbucks has a perfect atmosphere for studying and the staff there are amazing, plus most of them always greet me and my friends by our names! Stop by and check them out! 3. Carpe Diem Coffee & Tea Co. This is a cute little coffee shop just down the road from South.

The Southern Grind Coffee House This one you may have to drive a little to get to but when you need a change of

Ever since I've been at college, I have learned to handle things on my own and I have become more responsible for my activities. Even though I don't live at home anymore, I still have to make sure I set aside time for my homework and studying and make sure I get enough sleep every night. College has also made me a lot more independent because I'm a young adult and I have to take things into my own hands even if it's as little as setting up and going to a doctors appointment. Most importantly, college has taught me to be a lot more diligent which helps not only with school but with life in general. Overall, college is a great place to begin your journey as a young adult and take some time to really bloom and become yourself.
