It's Fall Break!

-
Finally, it is FALL! Although it still hasn't any gotten cooler yet here in Mobile, fall means fall break for USA students! Fall break is the perfect time to take a rest from all the stress college life can sometimes bring. My plans for the break include visiting family and friends at home, exercising, and watching some good movies. 

1. Visiting family and friends: There is nothing like seeing old friends and your family again! I can't wait to eat a home-cooked meal with some of my favorite people (and dogs). Seeing my friends is awesome, too! I'm so excited to reconnect with them and see how they have been enjoying their college experiences. 

2. Exercising: Working out, in any form, is a great way to make the mid-term stress melt away. I hope to go bike riding with my sister and enjoy spending time with her while de-stressing. For me, exercise is a good way to relax, and that's exactly what I'm needing right now. :)

3. Watching some good movies: Fall break is the PERFECT time to cuddle up and watch a good movie. I'll definitely be watching Netflix and Disney movies with some of my favorite ice cream for a part of my fall break. Sometimes you just need to relax and watch your favorite movies and shows!

Self-care is super important, in college especially, and these are my ways of making sure I am balancing my school work with some fun over fall break!

What I've Learned Since I've Become a Jag

-

Just this past fall, I joined the Jag family! Since then, I've had learned so much about myself and about what I have studied here at USA. Being a freshman and moving away from home, I learned how to be independent. Throughout the year, I have worked on better managing my time to do all of the fun things South offers while staying on top of my school work. When I had bad days, I learned how to pick myself up and keep going, like all of us jags do. Most of all, I learned that South Alabama's Jaguar Family really is a family. The people that I met here welcomed me, and I have made so many lasting connections and friendships here. South Alabama has definitely become a home for me and has given me so many new friends! I'm so excited to continue to grow as a Jag and learn more with each year that I am here at South. I hope each of you enjoy your time here, and go Jags!

5 Tips Before Coming to South Alabama

Hey, future Jags! Here are my 5 tips for preparing to come to South Alabama: 1. Register for orientation: As soon as you get accepted to South, sign up for an orientation session that works for you! We have many summer sessions to choose from, and you can register on our website at https://www.southalabama.edu/departments/orientation/ . Attending orientation will help you become more familiar with campus and some new students before officially becoming a Jag in the fall! 2. Sign up for housing: Apply to housing to secure your spot on campus at South Alabama! Living on campus is close to everything and helps you make connections. Once you're admitted, I would recommend signing up for housing at https://www.southalabama.edu/departments/housing/ . There are many options of residence halls to choose from, and we even have a roommate matching system. 3. Hang out with hometown family and friends: If you're moving far away from home, I recommend spending some quality time with your

It's Spring in Mobile!

      It's springtime here in Mobile! As the end of the semester draws near, it always cheers me up to walk outside into some nice, spring weather. It's even better that there are plenty of places to have fun in the sun near South's campus! There are many beaches not too far from and some pretty parks and outdoor spaces near USA.       One of my favorite places is Langan Park. It is super close to campus and is perfect for biking, eno-ing, jogging, picnic-ing, and more! I like to go here with friends to take my mind off of school and stress and to focus on enjoying Mobile's nice weather and outdoor space in the spring.  Even if you have to do some school work, it is an awesome space to get some fresh air and experience springtime while doing so. I think that it is a great place to relax and unwind as spring semester begins to come to a close. Happy Spring!!
