5 Facts About Me!

 
Me in Badlands National Park, South Dakota

  Hi future Jags!

  Today I'd like to share some more interesting tidbits about myself than I have in previous posts. As always, if you have any questions, you are more than welcome to send them my way! I would be glad to help.


  1. This summer, my family and I took a month-long road trip across the Western United States. We visited 13 states, 11 National Parks, and drove 6,470.5 miles! As some of you may know, I came into South as a Geology major, and though I'm no longer majoring in the subject, my interest in it didn't suddenly go away.  It was an amazing trip that fueled my thirst to see geological wonders of the world.
  2. Speaking of which, I collect rocks and minerals! My collection has over 100 different specimen, and I started it when I was about 7 years old. My parents took me to a gem panning place in the Smokey Mountains, and from there I developed a love for pretty (and ugly!) rocks and minerals.
  3. I really like to play video games. I especially like turn-based RPGs like Earthbound and platformers like Shovel Knight or classic Castlevania. I can't wait for Smash Bros. Ultimate this December!
  4. I am on the path to add an additional minor to my plate. Right now, I'm an English major and Geology minor, and I think I am going to add Spanish as an additional minor! Ideally, I'd like to become fluent. I'm also trying to work out a Study Abroad trip this summer to facilitate this!
  5. As far as my future plans are concerned, I am thinking about teaching upper education. I also am considering teaching English as a second language in a foreign country. But at the same time, I think I would really thrive working at a publishing company as an editor. Whatever the future has in store for me will be interesting, that is for sure.
  And that's all I have for you for today! I hope it helped you learn a little bit more about myself!

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

Relaxation at its finest...

Image
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

An unforgettable first visit...

Image
   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
