A Week in My South Alabama Life

-

Hey, future jags! Here is a look into a week, for me, at South Alabama... Throughout the week, I go to class, work, the Rec Center, and hang out with friends! My weeks are usually pretty busy, but that's not a bad thing for me! I've got class every day, and then, I go to work or my dorm. Outside of class, I'm usually in the library studying or doing homework with friends. I also love to go to the Rec Center, especially for one of their cycling classes! It helps me de-stress after a long, busy week. I try to go to as many classes there as possible. They have lots to choose from, so I can mix it up from week to week.
As it usually does in Mobile, it rained this past week A LOT. It wasn't the best for walking to class, but campus was still really pretty after it all! I'm glad the rain stopped for Saturday, though, because we had USA Day!
 This week, I did all of this, and I got to attend USA Day! USA Day is a super fun day filled with all things South! You can get to see everything we offer on campus and get to know South in person. It was really fun to work and experience, and I definitely enjoyed meeting everyone there :)
     Usually, my weeks are packed full, but I still enjoy them and try to make the most of each of them here at South! Ready for a great new week!

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!

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

After I came to visit South, I knew it was the school for me. When I received my acceptance letter and scholarship information, I was SO excited! I was officially part of the Jaguar family! It felt so amazing to finally know where I would be spending some of the most influential years of my life! I felt confident and relieved to know that I had been accepted into a place I could call home for the next four years. Applying to South was definitely one of the best decisions I have made. I would encourage anyone to apply and look into South because it has given me so many opportunities in education, friendship, research, and fun. Even though I have not been here very long, I am proud to call USA my university and am happy to be a jag!
