Last Saturday, I left behind all thoughts of homework and stress and spent the day at Tybee. It was hours of the warm sun on my face, salt spray in the air and paddling along the ocean — in a kayak. I, along with eight other GSU students, hopped on a van with two members of the Campus Recreation and Intramurals staff for one of the many adventurous trips Southern Adventures offers each semester.

The day started off with all of us gathering at the RAC and introducing ourselves before loading up the van and gearing up for the road trip. The drive provided me with the opportunity to get to know my fellow adventurers. Our guides, Mike Whitehair and Jenn Velie, conversed with us on the ride as well, encouraging socialization among the group with games and stories.
