The Off-Site Perks of a Jaguar

  While there are so many things to do on campus offered to Jaguars, maybe you'd like to extend your scope. Is there anything you could do around good ol' Mobile that's enhanced by your student status, you ask? Well, the answer is yes, and you would be surprised at what kind of perks outside of campus await for us Jaguars.
  There are many restaurant discounts available in the area for South Alabama students. Buffalo Wild Wings (Airport Blvd), Waffle House (Old Shell Rd), and Mellow Mushroom (Old Shell Rd), for example, offer a 10% discount for students with a valid ID. And, of course, those aren't the only restaurants that offer special benefits for South students.
  But what about outside of the restaurant world? South students get a 10% off discount on storage rentals at A Schillinger Self Storage or Best Lil Storehouse. At Planet AT&T (Old Shell), students can get a 15% off cell phone plans, as well as at least 10% off cell phone accessories such as cases and chargers. At Bellasia Spa, Jags get a 10% discount off a full-service salon! That includes hair, waxing, mani/pedi, etc.
  This only scratches the surface of the kind of benefits Jags get outside of campus. If you'd like to see a full list, you can find one here. Happy spending! :-)

Until next time...

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

Image
    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
