3 Amazing Places to Visit in Westchester

As a commuting student that grew up in Westchester my entire life, I have an advantage when it comes to adventure ideas and taking friends to cool spots.

Here's 3 (of many many more) of my absolute favorite places to visit in Westchester.

Bronx River Trail 

The Bronx River Trail, which has a few entrances throughout different towns in Westchester, is a surprisingly quiet little oasis alongside the Bronx River highway. My favorite entrance is in Scarsdale, which is next to the train station. It goes a few miles in either direction from that entrance and it's a great trail to get a safe and refreshing run in or to walk and chat with friends.

There's even a little waterfall near the Scarsdale entrance that I love to sit near and read or just relax for a bit.

Cranberry Lake Preserve

Cranberry Lake Preserve is a little hiking location in West Harrison that has a few different trails of varying levels of difficulty. There's a cliff that you can climb, a little lake that is absolutely gorgeous and so many different little ins and outs. It's a great place to take a slow hike and catch up with friends or on the more flat trails, to get a more intense jog or run in. It's one of my favorite little adventure spots in Westchester and I love taking friends there.

I've been to Cranberry Lake Preserve dozens upon dozens of times and although I may have taken the same routes multiple times, I'll never get tired of it!

Larchmont Dog Beach

I've only been to the Larchmont Dog Beach a few times, but I absolutely love the environment there. It's so much fun for the dogs because they can run around on the sand or swim and it's super fun for us humans too because we can bond over our beautiful little fluffy friends.

My dog is not very energetic and rarely shows any excitement, and when I took him to the dog beach for the first time he took a while to warm up but after a bit of acclimating, he LOVED it!!! He was smiling so big and pitter pattering around going on his own little pupventure. 12/10 recommend.

For better or for worse

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
