For this week I decided to go to the study. I thought that it was a good place to study for my classes but I’d much rather go to the library or a closer place to study or get my assignments done. If you get tired of going to the same places to study, then you can try The Study out.

For my last Explore UK, I decided to go to the cats den. It is located in the student center and it was a great place to study or to get work done with a small amount of background noise. If you haven’t been here I really recommend that you stop by especially because it’s right next to Chick-fil-a as well.

2 weeks ago I met with My advisor at the URC for student involvemnet advising. My advisor's office was located on the first floor of the Gatton business building. It was an amazing, easy, and helpful experience for me. I came into advising a little nervous for next semester but now I am so much more confident.

Today I went to the bookstore to pick up a green book for my midterm. I also looked at some clothes and other items that they have in the store. I would highly recommend going to the store because they have a lot of cool items.

Today after I finished eating at champs I decided to grind out some homework and see what the cats den is all about. I actually really liked where it is located and how the area is laid out. There is plenty of space to complete homework at tables and things such as TV's and even a ping pong table if you ever want to relax with some buddies. Overall I had a great experience and will certainly be going again soon.

Today I went to the Esports lounge and checked it out to see what they offered. They told me the helped tech support and said you can come in and play some video games. I really enjoyed my visit there and I would recommend going there.

Theres a cool bench outside the student center, near the outside tables that I like to study at sometimes. Theres a nice fire place and you're covered by a ceiling in case its raining. Now that its getting colder out I may stop using it but its a nice place to do homework when its nice out.

For my final Explore UK assignment, I went to Presentation U at Willy T. I have a presentation coming up in a few weeks so I decided to start early and get going. I got a great basis of what I plan on doing. I recommend this to anyone who needs help on a presentation!

For this week, I looked into the UK website and searched for different programs and activities on the website. I found it helpful for planning my spring semester schedule. It had a lot of information on my major, and I definitely recommend this website if you have any questions about the campus.

This is me and my friends outside of WRFL while we didn’t get a chance to go in we learned you can stream their channel online from anywhere in the world or locally on the radio. They play local artists to gain exposure within the community and entirely student run. It was created in 1988 and has grown since. I gave it a listen and I don’t recognize most of the songs due to it being local small bands but it was enjoyable.

This Saturday I went to watch the Tennessee game. Truth be told I really don't remember that much from it, but I do remember having a very fun time despite us losing. I spent way too much money at the concession stands and had to get rescued by my friends after getting lost. I will definitely be going to more football games, and I cannot wait for the Alabama game. I do apologize for not taking a selfie, but unfortunately this was one of the only pictures that I took.

This week I went to the Alumni Gym in the student center. I live on central campus so I typically choose to go to the Johnson center, but this week I decided to switch it up and try out the Alumni Gym instead. I decided to do this in efforts to get out of my comfort zone and go to a new place with new people. I enjoyed the different vibe of this gym and will be trying to go to this gym at least once a week.

Today I went to the mathskeller office in the Patterson building to get some help for my math class it was a really helpful area I was able to collaborate and get help from multiple people and colleagues i suggest if you are behind on some work that you come here and talk to some people as they can help you catch up or help you understand something in your course.

Today I visited the Presentation U where I was able to get help with writing and one of my speeches i'm working on. It is extremely convenient due to the fact that they accept walk-ins.

This week I visited the Mathskeller website. I was in the middle of doing my MA123 homework and was struggling with some of the problems.

This was super helpful and I will definitely be going there in the future!

This week I went to the science and engineering library. It was a building I have never been in before and very easy to find. I had to go in here for one of my classes and it was not what I expected it to look like. The people in here were really nice and helpful! It wasn’t busy at all and a quiet place to study.

It was actually an event I stumbled upon on my way to the gym that I felt like I just had to check it out. I think it is so cool that UK does things like this, and I highly recommend staying updated on all of the events because they are all so fun yet random!

Since I stayed at UK over break it gave me a lot of time to do homework and study for upcoming mid terms. I liked to study in the area outside of the ballroom at the Gatton Student Center because it felt less quite and more lively than my empty dorm. I normally like to have some background noise while studying, if thats how you study too I recommend you check out this place.

For this week I went to alumni gym. I’ve always gone to Johnson so I decided to switch it up this week. It’s a great place to work out with TVs and plenty of machines to use. It’s located in the Gatton student center and is open 24/7. I would recommend if you are in the northern housing but if you’re in central I would recommend Johnson. RYAN CUNNINGHAM.

This week I went to The Study to see how helpful it would be for my MA109 class. In my opinion I liked MathSkeller a lot more. Due to the location and the atmosphere. The study was kind of far and to me it was less helpful. Maybe The Study would be more helpful for me in another subject.

This week on my way home from the 90 I noticed three large hot air balloons and decided to stop by. This event was put on by the housing association and featured hot air balloon rides, lots of blow up slides and games, and also food trucks. It was actually super interesting and fun. I would totally attend another event such as this one and would recommend people to stop by next time as well.

# data[].attributes.body
On Wednesday afternoon, my friends and I decided to check a UK housing event going on in the back of the 90's. In this event, my friends and I rode a hot air balloon, went down a zip line, and climbed a rock climbing wall. Overall, it was a fun experience and an awesome way to disconnect from midterm stress.

Went and stoped by the Willy T the other day to get some quiet studying in for my upcomming midterms and test for after fall break this was a good place to study. They have the starbucks downs stairs witch offers food and drink so if you can get hungrey or take a break on top of that there are other resources at Willy T that will help you study and stay enganged with your work. I suggest this to anyone who seems like they struggle when studying by going somewhere it helps you focus more.

This week, I went to the study and spent a few hours studying for a busy week of assignments. It was a big area, and it was very quiet.

This week I visited the Study at the Hilary J Boone Center. I dropped into the peer tutoring session for MA 123 this Wednesday to get some extra help before my exam on Thursday.

Overall it was a good experience and would definitely come back if I need help in another class, or just want a different environment to get things done in.

This week for my explore uk I visited the Presentation U located in the basement of the library. Although I didn’t have a presentation I needed to practice it’s good to have the resources like this on campus. I recommend to anyone that needs help with speaking or writing.

Today I went to check out the other gym on north campus. There was a lot of people there doing their own thing. The environment there was good and everyone just did their own thing. I prefer the other gym better though because it is closer to where i live but neither stands out more in my opinion.

My roommate and I decided to check out the esports lounge last night. This lounge was something different than what we would normally go do, but we wanted to get out of our comfort zones. I think the setup of the place was super cool; there were so many gaming consoles and tvs. Personally, I am not a gamer, but if you are, I think this is such a cool place that they offer on campus, and you should definitely check it out!

This week I went to the Esports Lounge. It is a good place to chill out if you need get your mind off some things and there are a lot of places for you to charge your devices and get some work done too.

This week I decided to go to Patterson Office tower. I was surprised how different it was compared to the other buildings on campus.

Overall I had a good experience and I would definitely think about using the Presentation U again.

For this week I went to the MathSkeller. I went to make up a math quiz, however, there were a lot of other students in there so it was really hard to focus on the stuff I was supposed to be working on. As much as I wanted this to work, I don’t think I would ever go back for something such as a math quiz. I am not sure what it would look like when you’re going for one on one help or tutoring. So maybe i’ll have to try that some day!

For week 8 I decided to see where the MLK center was. It is located in the student center on the second floor. I learned that the MLK center focuses on empowering students across all identities.

For this week I visited the Cats den. It’s a great place to study or meet people and play games such as ping pong or pool. With TVs visible from every angle it’s a great place to watch UK sporting events. I’ve been previously to pick up my parents weekend merchandise which is how I originally discovered it. I would recommend this study spot to people who are ok with a little bit of noise while studying. It’s located on the first floor of the Gatton student center.
