Hi everyone!

  My name is Genevieve Savoie, but most everyone calls me Evy ("ee-vee"). I'm a sophomore here at South and I'm majoring in English with a minor in Geology. I'm excited to be starting here at the JagGuide community!

  I've lived on the coast basically all of my life, but I was born in Houma, Louisiana! I grew up in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, and that's where I live to this day. I'm turning 21 here in less than a week (on USA Day)! One day I hope to tear myself away from the beach and live in the mountains, at least for a little while. There's not a lot of diverse geology down here, unfortunately, unless you're really interested in sediments. I'm not sure where my career is heading now, but my dream job since elementary school was to be a volcanologist/mineralogist! I wouldn't mind being a literature professor, though. :)

  I'm a pretty relaxed person with a lot of varying interests. I love literature-- hence the English major-- and could write pages upon pages about my favorite books, especially my all-time favorite The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux. I spend a lot of time online, blogging and tweeting in my spare time. I also really enjoy video games, and though I find I don't have enough time to play them much anymore, I still like to talk about them. Some of my favorite games series are Metal Gear Solid, MOTHER, and Pokemon. I never considered myself much of a collector, but I've been collecting rocks and minerals since I was seven years old-- I've garnered a pretty nice collection over the years as a result. I have no room to display them all!

  All in all, I can't wait to get started here. Thanks for tuning in!

  Until next time...

A Week in the Life of a Commuter Jag...

    Hey everyone!   If you've visited my blog before, you'll know that I don't actually live in Mobile. I live near Ocean Springs, Mississippi, which is a little over an hour away from South's campus. I drive here 5 days a week and spend about 10 hours total a week in the car! As such, my typical week looks pretty similar across the board. Here's a snapshot of what it's like...   I normally leave my house by 7:30 a.m. most days even though my first classes start at 9:30 a.m. or later. I like to give myself some extra time in the morning when I get here to either eat breakfast or do some homework. When I have this extra time, I typically go to the Seaman's Bethel, which is the Honors College hub.   A lot of my day is eaten up by classes. Since I live far away, I like to schedule several classes a day so I'm more motivated to make the drive. But in my downtime between classes, I'll eat lunch and study. You can almost always find me at the Bet

An unforgettable first visit...

   Howdy future Jags!   If you've poked around my blog before, you'll know that I always sing high praises for our campus tours. Today I'm going to share my memories of my first campus tour here, which was the first time I had ever visited South's campus!   When I was considering colleges in high school, South did not come onto my radar until pretty late in the game. I was very focused on going to a university with an excellent Geology program, so I had my gaze turned across the country, to Colorado or Arizona. One day, my mom mentioned South Alabama, which I wasn't aware existed and was only an hour away from home. I figured I might as well just tour it for fun, to keep my options open... and I'm so glad that I did!   South Alabama was the first college I ever toured, and I was blown away not only by the beauty of the campus but also by the friendliness of the staff and students who spoke to me that day. My tour guide was friendly, funny, and knowledgea

Relaxation at its finest...

I wish that was me...  Howdy everybody!   I'm going to be enjoying an extended Fall Break here beginning at 8 pm CST (when I get home from my commute). But how does a college student relax, exactly?   Honestly, despite the massive amounts of work it seems we have to do (and trust me, it's barely an exaggeration), you need some ME time here and there! Usually students return home during the break and hang out with friends and loved ones, and I'm no exception.   However, because I'm a commuter student who lives in Mississippi, I spend about 10 hours in the car every week getting to and from class. When breaks roll around, and especially ones as short as Fall Break, I'm pretty sick of driving, and I don't really want to go out! I intend to spend my break nestled in my bed and allowing myself some time to breathe.   I usually play video games or draw in my downtime to relax and get my mind off of the stress of school (and life in general). I don't
