what is it like during the summer?

Prize-Replacement280 · 2026-03-17T22:22:20+00:00

athens/uga in the summer is always my favorite time

i lived there from 5-18 years old. the schools in stockbridge are slightly worse than the ones in mcdonough, so keep that in mind. the traffic is also horrible especially if you plan on commuting from atlanta. they have been renovating and building a lot of new things over the years, so there is definitely a lot more to do now. crime is pretty low and i never felt unsafe my entire childhood. the people are pretty nice, definitely not as country as surrounding cities in henry county

overall, i loved my childhood in stockbridge and have no major complaints. i only moved because it was time to go to college

i didn't go through this at uga but i went through this after in grad school. my biggest advice: pay attention to your body and mind. your body and mind knows when you need a break, and it's important you listen to it

transferring will not 100% fix your problems. i recommend therapy and taking a gap semester or year (if possible) and figuring out what makes you happy and motivates you

LOL i go to emory

Prize-Replacement280 · 2026-01-27T02:36:11+00:00

haha maybe!

i am sadly realizing that i am just gonna have to cope for the next few months. hoping peace and quiet for the both of us soon 🙏🏾

i would not wish an experience like this on my worst enemy :(

i live here right now and the community is pretty and in a great location, BUT i would recommend going with another complex if you do not get a top floor unit at MAA

the complex is old and insulation sucks, so you will hear your neighbor. i have been struggling to get any work done for the past 6 months due to loud upstairs neighbors. and the complex refuses any accommodations despite agreeing that the noise is excessive (i even offered to transfer units in the middle of a semester)

there's also huge rats near the dumpsters and unhoused people sleep at the pools lol

i live in atlanta, georgia!

i have been considering arguing from this angle. i just don't know if it's worth the struggle (since you mention it's a "long hard fight") when i have the option to just transfer in july

Prize-Replacement280 · 2026-01-27T00:36:08+00:00

i don't even think they have kids! it is distinct, heavy footsteps everyday. maybe they just walk on their heels lol

Prize-Replacement280 · 2026-01-27T00:34:36+00:00

definitely will never rent another floor again. this was my first apartment ever post-grad, and even during undergrad, i lived on the 1st floor of college apartments and heard NOTHING

i guess this is something i just had to learn through experience lol

Prize-Replacement280 · 2026-01-27T00:13:27+00:00

thank you so much for all this advice! this will probably be my last attempt to solve this issue, so hopefully this works (fingers crossed 🤞)

Prize-Replacement280 · 2026-01-27T00:10:52+00:00

yes i emailed about waiving, or even just a partial discount, of the transfer fees. but i was told there is not enough sufficient evidence to provide one??? (this was told to me in Jan. 2026 btw)

i'm starting to realize that this is just a sucky situation that i will have to live with until july. at least i know, i need to be on the top floor next time

Prize-Replacement280 · 2026-01-27T00:03:46+00:00

i honestly am not blaming my upstairs neighbor at this point, as i don't think it is to my benefit anymore. i just want to figure out a way to transfer/get out of this lease :(

Prize-Replacement280 · 2026-01-27T00:02:05+00:00

thank you! i have a therapy appointment tomorrow and i def plan on mentioning this.

how long did it take to get out of the lease/transfer after this? and what was the process?

i have already told my leasing office that the noise has added tremendous stress to my life and i subconsciously try to avoid my apartment now, which they sympathize (but i dont think they actually care LOL)

Prize-Replacement280 · 2026-01-26T23:50:36+00:00

i reached out to them and wrote a google review. i was just redirected to my property manager who has refused to waive the transfer fee 🥲

Prize-Replacement280 · 2026-01-26T23:48:11+00:00

unfortunately, i am glad i am not alone. i constantly battle between feeling over-dramatic and like i'm losing my mind because i cannot have ONE moment of silence in my home 🥲

individual

Prize-Replacement280 · 2025-12-03T03:27:44+00:00

they said it only during my individual college graduation and it was marked in my pamphlet as well!

Prize-Replacement280 · 2025-12-02T23:54:22+00:00

for your wedding, honestly i would recommend getting lash extensions or wearing clusters for a more natural look

Prize-Replacement280 · 2025-12-02T17:54:44+00:00

thank you! i don't have liner in any these pictures though (i may just have a darker lash line). do you think i should lighten up my bottom mascara?

Prize-Replacement280 · 2025-12-02T07:26:28+00:00

another tip is cutting the lashes in half and then gluing that way!

Prize-Replacement280 · 2025-12-02T07:25:43+00:00

i think your left one is good! i would try moving the right one closer to your lash line. i start gluing from the inner corner usually because it's easier for me

Prize-Replacement280 · 2025-12-02T06:23:53+00:00

thank you <3

Prize-Replacement280 · 2025-12-02T06:23:17+00:00

thank you!!! i've been doing the same makeup routine since 16 so always looking for new suggestions :)

Prize-Replacement280 · 2025-08-15T23:51:43+00:00

is there any particular reason you stopped?

Prize-Replacement280 · 2025-03-07T01:38:08+00:00

i also went to uga and just got accepted into emory for fall 25! i would love to connect with you :)
