The CK Daily – Car troubles & Exciting Times Ahead!
Hey everyone!
This weekend was a bit chaotic! My good old Ford Exploder (Explorer for those who don’t know about their issues ha-ha) didn’t quite explode on me, but the engine decided it had enough. It needs an entirely new engine, so car shopping is now on my to-do list. Luckily, I don’t need a car for about a month and a half, but I’ve already started checking local dealerships every day. It’s like window shopping but way more stressful and expensive! If anyone has advice on navigating the crazy process that is buying a car, please let me know!
Even though my car troubles got me down, I have an exciting weekend ahead! Here at UGA, we have ‘Dance Marathon’. If you think you may have heard of it, many colleges and universities host a version of it through their Miracle Organization. At UGA, we specifically raise money for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, and our event is a 13-hour celebration full of family stories, activities, and dancing of course! Everyone pledges to stay the entire time in celebration of the money raised and in honor of the lives that will be saved. The energy is incredible, and I’m so lucky to be a part of something bigger than me that helps so many kids and families in need!
Overall, between car drama and getting ready to dance my heart out, it’s been eventful! I’m looking forward to seeing what happens and hoping it all works out!

Learning Center Article – What does 5G mean for business networks?
There is a lot of technology generating excitement for more applications than we could hope to name. One central theme to virtually all of that technology is an increased demand on data and need of higher bandwidth for connectivity. More devices than ever are actively communicating, and they are placing massive burdens on existing infrastructure. Ultimately, we all need a network that is built for the new age of connectivity. That network will run on 5G.
