Happy V Day, USA

Hey baby Jags!

 It's Valentine's Day and this week we are reflecting on the many reasons we love South Alabama. I could honestly go on forever about why I love South and what drew me here, but I will keep it short and simple.


South is family. From the second I walked onto our campus I felt at peace and at home. I was surrounded by professors who truly cared about me and my education and people who continuously lifted me up through the late night study sessions and 8 am lectures. College is hard, but South has made it a little easier these past three years.

 So here's to you and me, South Alabama. Thank you for my 11,761 family members. I am so thankful to be a small portion of Jag Nation.

 Love & light xx

Getting Ready For Your Next Chapter

Hey Baby Jags! You're all coming to the end of the road and getting ready to close a large chapter of your life. You may be excited, you may be nervous.. I must admit, I was a little of both. There are a few things you can do to help you prepare for your transition to college. These things definitely helped me be comfortable as I left home and started the next chapter of my academic career. First of all, SCHOLARSHIPS. My entire last semester was devoted to finding scholarships in my community and surrounding areas that I could apply for. College is expensive, as we all know. Many students do not realize how much money is available to them if they just search. Your guidance counselor at your high school should be able to lead you in the right direction if you aren't sure where to start and I would also suggest searching online for scholarship possibilities. Most are simple applications with short essays to accompany them and most people are not aware of many of the scholars

Why South?

Hey baby Jags! The process of choosing a college was extremely difficult for me. Coming from a college town, all of my friends were choosing to stay in Troy instead of venturing off for school. Although this thought crossed my mind, I knew I wanted to "spread my wings" and find a new home.  I finally had to sit down and pray about the situation, asking God to lead me where He felt I would flourish the most. As I researched colleges and weighed my options, I decided to visit South on my mom's request. When I stepped on campus I knew that I found my home away from home. I was close enough to the beach, where many of our family friends live, that I did not feel as if I would be alone if I needed help with anything. The campus was beautiful and the perfect size for me. Also, I knew I wanted to go into an Allied Health profession and the professional programs had great reputations at South.  After my summer semester at South, one of my professors sent me an email that made

We The People...

Hey baby Jags! This semester has gotten off to a great start for me. I hope all of you are enjoying your senior year and making the most of every moment. I'm taking 17 hours this semester, so I have a wide variety of courses in different fields making it hard to choose a favorite. I would say my favorite course so far this semester would be my intro to political science course. My academic adviser encouraged me to take this course in case I one day wanted to achieve my Masters in Public Administration. Being a health sciences major with a Pre-Physical Therapy track, I had taken no humanities classes relating to government or politics since high school. I have learned so much about how our government works, and been able to hear differing opinions from people of many different cultures regarding politics in America. As a matter of fact, I'm about to head to my PoliSci class right now for another 2 and 1/2 hours of knowledge!  Love & light xx Laura Jag Guide
