My Top 4 Places to Study and Relax

-
College can be stressful at times and finding the perfect places to unwind and relax is a great way to help deal with that stress. There's always lots of studying to do, too, so finding a great spot for this is key! Here are my top 4 places to study and relax:

On campus, my favorite study spot is Marx Library. If I'm with my study group, I love going to the Learning Commons area to do some group work. It's also right next to one of my favorite spots on campus... Starbucks! Marx is great for grabbing a cup of caffeine and getting started on some studying and homework!

Off campus, I really enjoy studying AND relaxing at two of my favorite local coffee shops, Satori and Carpe Diem. Both serve really good coffee, teas, and food. They have a great atmosphere for relaxing and talking with friends or studying in a different spot. I love the good coffee, vibes and   people that come with these two places.

Lastly, I love to relax through exercise. The Rec is perfect for that! I love going to the Rec, whether it just be to workout on my own or for group fitness classes. Exercising definitely helps me de-stress when I have had one of those days. Plus, it's just a short walk from my dorm room! :)


Although these are my favorite places to relax and study, I would definitely encourage any incoming college student to find where they enjoy studying and relaxing most. It's super awesome to have a place where you enjoy for doing school work and unwinding!

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/ .

      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!!
