  Hey everyone!!   When I found out I was accepted to South, excited was an understatement! I had been weighing my options between a few schools, but when I took a campus tour here it became clear that this was where I wanted to go. So my acceptance letter was anxiously anticipated!   What was even more exciting to me than my university acceptance letter was my Honors College acceptance letter. Back then, it was only an Honors program, but it was still pretty competitive, and I was worried I wouldn't get in. I was ready to celebrate when I got word I was accepted!   The Honors College is one of my favorite things about South, and I recommend all interested students to check it out. You get so many opportunities from internships to research to networking-- as well as a faculty dedicated to making sure you're getting the most out of your time in the community. And what a community it is! There's all kinds of weekly events that range from movie viewings to fascinating le

  Howdy future Jags!   Welcome to the USA Class of 2023 page, and welcome specifically to my blog! My name is Evy, and I'm a third-year junior here at South. I'm majoring in English with a Literature concentration, and I'm minoring in Geology. I'm also a member of the USA Honors College and currently am in the process of arranging my research for a senior thesis.     I'm from the Mississippi Gulf Coast, near Ocean Springs or Vancleave, and I still live there today. I commute to the university every day for class! So I spend a rough 10 hours in the car every week. Sometimes it's exhausting, but at the end of the day, it's really not so bad!   Something really special about South is our wonderful faculty. In my experience, most of the professors here care about your education and want to see you succeed... even the ones who might seem intimidating at first! Combined with our small class sizes, it feels like you can genuinely build a connection with your

  Hi everybody!   I hope your summer has treated you well. If you're new to the page or to my blog, my name is Evy and I am an English major here at the University of South Alabama. Don't be afraid to drop me a line if you have any questions I can help you with... but for now, let's get cracking:   You may be at a point in your high school career asking yourself if college is worth the hassle. What's in it for me? Why bother?   If you're asking yourself these questions, I suggest taking the time to sit down and really consider what your plans are for the future. College isn't for everyone, this much is true! But if you're looking to have a solid career, you're going to need to do your research. Does your potential career necessitate a degree?   I know that the process of deciding on college can be very daunting, but there are more benefits to a college education than just a degree. At a university, you're given an opportunity to bond and inte
