Sham-rocking Through Spring

Hey baby Jags!

Spring has finally sprung down in Mobile, AL and the weather is absolutely beautiful. Honestly, I feel like we only had 5 days of winter, but I am not complaining AT ALL. The warm weather makes walking across campus at 8 AM for physics slightly more bearable.

As a campus, we have numerous activities throughout the Spring that makes second semester even more fun that the first. Jag Productions puts on great events (Jeremih concert, YEET!), baseball and softball seasons begin, and intramural basketball and water polo are in full swing.

Personally, my favorite event during the Spring would be my sororities philanthropy event, Bubble Soccer. We gather around 60 teams and head to the intramural fields for a day long tournament with music, face painting, and good food. All of the other sororities and fraternities participate as well as the majority of the clubs on campus. We even have people from other universities come spend the day with us.

There is definitely something for everyone during the Spring semester at South. If you aren't a sports person, we have dance marathon. If you just want to chill, the pool at the rec is always the perfect spot to spend a lazy afternoon!

I can't wait for all of you to get on campus and find your niche!

Love & light xx

3 Tips

Hey baby Jags! Picking the college you want to attend can be extremely stressful. It can get overwhelming to muddle through a list of schools and deciding where you want to spend the next 4+ years of your life can be very scary. Everyone approaches the college-picking process differently, but I will give you three tips that I used to help decide on a university. 1) Money. For me, I looked into scholarship requirements and figured out how much assistance I could get from each university I was interested in. Finances are a huge factor for most people when deciding on a college. I found that South was the most affordable and I was able to earn the largest amount of scholarship money here as well. 2) Location. I come from a college town so all of my friends stayed in our hometown for school. I wanted to get away but also be close enough to home to be able to get to my parents if I ever needed them. South is about 3 hours from my hometown of Troy and about 45 minutes from the...

If You Don't Know, Now You Know

Hey baby Jags! The JagGuides are coming at you live this week with some behind the scenes scoop on South Alabama. I'll be hitting you with a few fun facts about our university. 1. OOZEBALL. Once a year, students get together to play volleyball in 6 feet of mud. I know it doesn't sound appealing to most, but every year it is LIT. Everyone looks forward to Oozeball coming around. 2. Our baseball team, which you can catch in action at Stankey Field, has made 25 appearances in the College World Series tournament. Talk about ballers! 3. The youngest student ever to graduate college was Michael Kearney, who graduated from the University of South Alabama at the age of 10. Child prodigy FTW! 4. The Mitchell Center houses some of our classes. The Mitch is where our basketball games and other events take place, but classes are held here in the basement. Imagine being a freshman walking to your first class and having to navigate through the Mitch to find it. Lucki...

My Motivation

Hey baby Jags! The fall semester has officially come to a close at the University of South Alabama, and as I reflect on the past 4 months I realize how thankful I am to be surrounded by people who motivate me to be my best self and encourage me when I am at my breaking point. First and foremost, my family has stayed by my side every step of the way. They constantly assure me that they are proud of me and that I am more than capable of being successful. Through every breakdown and phone call at 10 pm crying because I am overwhelmed, they remind me that the first step to getting back on my feet is getting on my knees. They pray for me and love me through everything, and I am so grateful for the motivation they give me. The friends I surround myself with in Mobile are also a constant source of encouragement. Whether it be my sorority sisters letting me know they're praying for me before a big test, my roommate cleaning the apartment because she knows I'm stressed, or my b...
