Figuring out your First-Year
Hi there!! My name is Aspen and I am a senior at UGA, finishing up my PoliSci/Education degree! While at UGA, I was involved in a sorority, lived on-campus and off, made so many great friends and memories. I would love to give you all the insights in to how to have the perfect First-Year; where to hang-out, when places are open, good study spot, all about Greek Life, and more!

Describe your college experience
The University of Georgia is the best college for an incoming freshman. I lived on campus and made so many amazing friends through that and my sorority. It took me a couple of months to get used to living on campus, but when I found parts of home in Athens, like a new favorite restaurant and a good gym, it made it feel like a new home to me.
Tip for future students
The best way to make your college experience positive is to plug yourself in everywhere! Join as many clubs and organizations that can fit into your schedule, and don't be afraid to say YES! College can get lonely and you'll quickly realize how much you need a support system.
Favorite class
My favorite class I have taken was Constitutional Law. It was definitely one of the hardest, but the professor made it so entertaining and was the one who made me realize I want to teach politics too.
Career goals
My goal is to work in educational policy or educational consulting. I want to make a difference in the world of public education.
Ideal way to spend a free night
I love to start off my free night out with a big group of friends, hanging out, maybe grabbing a bite to eat. Then coming home and watching Gossip Girl with my roommate. And probably doordashing a sweet treat because we're lazy lol!
