Almost Time for Spring Break!



On Saturday, a group of us took a study break and went to Currahee Mountain in Toccoa!  I have been there once earlier for a 5K race, but this time it was to see the sunset and get some cool photos. Currahee is a great place to go to in town if you want some quiet time or want to take a hike.



Currahee was great, but it was a short trip because this week is midterm week which means lots of homework.  I have a test in all my classes so every night I will be making coffee and studying away!  The only nice thing about midterms is that once this week is over, I'll get to go back home to Ohio for the week and see friends and family! What are you doing for Spring break?

The City of Toccoa!


Friday, March 8th
 Toccoa has some neat areas on and around campus! A lot of students come to North GA for hiking, camping and the great outdoors! One of our professors, Dr. Penland, said that you could hike a different local trail every weekend of the school year and never see the same place twice! Some popular hikes on campus are the path to Little Falls and Dead Man’s Trail which leads to Contentment Falls. Off campus, there’s Tallulah Gorge State Park, trails by broken bridges, Currahee Mountain and Panther’s Creek. There are also plenty of local camping areas for overnight trips and adventures.

McDonald's run with a friend!


Once you’ve worked up an appetite, Toccoa has lots of great places to re-fuel we students like to frequent. There’s McDonalds, Walmart, the Java Station, BJ’s Diner , Taco Bell and much more! If there’s one area in which Toccoa surpasses expectations, it’s the fantastic variety of restaurants! Sometimes the girls in LeT go out to eat as a dorm and we get to split the cost: it’s a great night out!

Harlem Shake!

Friday, March 1st

Are you excited about Campus Preview Weekend (CPW)? The admissions office here at Toccoa Falls College is!  There are a lot of amazing events being planned for CPW and we’re want to see you on April 4-6th! Don’t forget to sign up and get more information on www.tfc.edu/campuspreview.

Have you ever heard of Harlem Shake?  It originated in Harlem, New York in 1981.  AI B, a Harlem resident, said it comes from the ancient Egyptians and describes it as what the mummies used to do.  Due to being all wrapped up, they couldn’t really move, all they could do was shake around.


This said, do you want to see the admissions office create our own Harlem Shake video?!  Comment below or tell us your thoughts. Hope to see you soon!
