Since any amount of snow is rare in Atlanta, my friends and I decided to walk across campus in the middle of the night. We had a snowball fight with the little snow we could gather.

It\u0026#39;s the Goldilocks city \u0026mdash; not too cold, not unbearably hot, not overly expensive, but still offers a lot to do. Atlanta is diverse in every aspect, which means that there is always something going on.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch4\u003EWhat do you like to do outside of classes?\u003C\/h4\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIt sounds nerdy, but I like to make things in my free time.
