20 Places For Your Northwest Arkansas Bucket List

1. Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville

If you're into art you'll love this place, and if you don't love art you'll still love that your Instagram game will improve 100% with all the cool paintings and encouraged non-flash photography.

2. Frank Lloyd Wright's Bachman-Wilson House, Bentonville

This house is a newer extension of Crystal Bridges and looks like it would be so fun to tour. Get your tickets before you go because there is limited space!

3. Thorncrown Chapel, Eureka Springs

I have to admit this is on the list because I like to admire the beauty of places like this. I will go somewhere purely if it's pretty and this is definitely worth visiting.

4. Castle Rogue's Manor, Eureka Springs

Again, another place that is on here for sheer beauty. You can tour this place! It may not be a true medieval castle but if you can't afford to just go to Europe and look at a real historical castle, this place is just as good.

5. Golden Kolache Bakery, Fayetteville

This place was on a Buzzfeed list of the best bakery in every state. That's a pretty big deal. It's never gets extremely busy and if I were you, I'd hop on the bandwagon before it does.

6. Hugo's, Fayetteville

Best burger I've ever had, hands down. They also sell crepes. Weird, I know, but everything from this place is A-MA-ZING.

7. Local Flavor Cafe, Eureka Springs

Eureka Springs is a hidden gem. The Local Flavor Cafe is an embodiment of everything Eureka Springs and turned into food. This restaurant is the perfect place to be on a nice spring day.

8. Alchemy, Fayetteville

First of all, best macarons you'll ever have. With a great variety of unique and classic flavors, it'll take so much restraint not to order one of everything.

9. Kream, Fayetteville

Not only are the flavor combinations to die for, they also can make you an ice cream sandwich out of a DONUT! I've never cared less about calories in my life.

10. The Walmart Museum, Bentonville

If you're in Northwest Arkansas, you have to go the Walmart Museum. It's basically a rite of passage.

11. Botanical Gardens of the Ozarks, Springdale

Another place on this list for its beauty! Every botanical garden is beautiful, but this one knocks it out of the park.

12. Farmer's Market, Fayetteville

Voted #5 in the nation, this farmer's market is the most fun you could have on a Saturday in Fayetteville (Yes that was shade to our football team, get it together boys).

Open on the downtown square April – October Tuesday, Thursday (7 am – 1 pm) and April to November Saturday (7 am – 2 pm).

13. Peel Mansion Museum and Heritage Gardens, Bentonville

Not only can you tour this super cool and beautiful mansion, you can also rent it!

14. Quigley's Castle, Eureka Springs

Another cool castle that is really worth visiting! It also has a really cool story so touring it can be fun and interesting.

15. Downtown Bentonville

Everything in Downtown Bentonville is so awesome. It's a pretty touristy place but it's really fun and sometimes you have to be a tourist to see some cool things.

16. Mount Sequoyah, Fayetteville

Watching the sunrise/sunset on Mount Sequoyah is something everyone should do at least once in their life. I would go for sunrise though because there aren't as many people there.

17. Fayetteville's Funky Yard Sale

Not much can be said about this place because it's just so cool. Once you walk in and look around, you'll never want to leave.

18. Hammontree's Grilled Cheese, Fayetteville

If you like grilled cheese, this place will be heaven. They have so many different types of grilled cheese and the price is college student approved.

19. Mildred B. Cooper Chapel, Bella Vista

Okay, this is the last place on the list that's on it just for beauty. Look at it, though. It deserves to be on this list.

20. Burton's Comfort Creamery, Fayetteville

Four Words: Ice Cream Food Truck. How trendy? Ben Rector has his own flavor here, which is also very trendy. If you've ever talked to anyone that has ever been in Fayetteville, you know that Burton's is the best.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

winter

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
