Here are my photos from the big game.\u00a0 The final score could have been a lot better, but I had fun.\u00a0 Learned a long time ago to not put your happiness into things you can’t control–like silly football games.\u00a0 I only took one camera, the weather was an amazing 71 degrees, there were still signs of color in the trees, and everyone I talked to was really nice, regardless of the team they followed. It’s funny how real life is far different than the online one.<\/p>\n

Also, I’ve seen enough UGA football games in my life to know the outcome of a game merely by watching how the players exit the tunnel.\u00a0 Welp, there’s always next year. Go Dawgs! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
