The CK Daily – College Nostalgia and Nature’s Beauty
Good morning & Happy Tuesday! Hope everyone’s having a great start to the week!
I had a very full and very fun weekend! On Saturday, I went to the UGA football game in Athens. As a proud UGA alumn, it’s always super fun to get back on campus, especially for game day! The tradition and pageantry are unmatched! I love the way tailgating takes over campus, seeing everyone in red and black, watching the Dawg Walk, hearing the Red Coat Band, joining the crowd in “calling the dawgs” … it’s all so much fun and definitely gets in your blood! Being there always makes me feel super nostalgic and brings back lots of great memories from my college years. There’s nothing like a Saturday in Athens!
On Sunday, I headed to Stone Mountain to meet up with my friend Jen for a day of adventuring. We started the day by hiking the mountain while it was still nice and cool outside. It’s only about a mile up, but it’s a gain of 700 feet of elevation and gets pretty steep for the last half mile or so! It’s worth the effort, though, as the views are incredible at the top! After that, we checked out the Yellow Daisy Festival which is a huge arts & crafts festival that takes place inside Stone Mountain Park. It was my first time attending and I was very impressed with all the vendors that were there! We then paddle boarded on the lake. It was my first time and I’m happy to report I didn’t fall in!
All in all, it was one of those weekends that filled my cup… celebrating traditions I love and soaking up time outdoors. I’m so thankful for experiences like these that remind me how important it is to carve out time for the things that bring you joy!
