7 Ways to Bury Your UGA Gameday Sorrows in Chocolate

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at UGA chapter.

The Bulldogs fought hard today, but the Crimson Tide came in strong, defeating Georgia 38-10. Instead of crying over that $300 student ID you purchased from a classmate or sloshing around in your soaked-through clothing, remember that the Dawgs still have a winning record.

I am junior at the University of Georgia working towards majors in public affairs journalism and political science and certificates in new media and local food systems. As a writer, my lens is one of tradition, food, and history, and I am constantly looking for ways to combine my passion for storytelling with my love of baking and eating.
