5 Places To Visit In Central New York

Need something to do this weekend? Look no further!

Do you go to school at SUNY Oneonta, Hartwick College, SUNY Cobleskill, SUNY Delhi, etc.? Are you sick of doing the same thing every weekend? Switch it up with some of these great ideas!

1. Howe Caverns

Located in Cobleskill, NY Howe Caverns is the second most visited natural attraction in New York after Niagara Falls. The $25 tour lasts about an hour and a half. You take an elevator that travels 16 stories underground where the cave tours are given and then you take a boat ride in the cave's lake, The Lake of Venus. Afterwards if you are hungry, I would recommend Justine's, which is a great Italian restaurant located in downtown Cobleskill.

2. Cooperstown

Obviously, Cooperstown is a great place to go if you are interested in baseball. Cooperstown is home to The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. What most people do not know is that there is more to Cooperstown than just baseball. There is also a well known art museum, called Fenimore Art Museum, and the Farmer's Museum. Cooperstown is located on Glimmerglass Lake, also known as Ostego Lake. Glimmerglass State Park has nature trails, swimming, and you can also going boating or fishing. Cooperstown is also a great place to go window shopping downtown, grab a delicious cup of joe at one of the many cafes, or go out to eat.

3. Gilbert Lake State Park

Located about 25 minutes from SUNY Oneonta and Hartwick College, Gilbert Lake State Park, located in Laurens, NY, is a fantastic place to go for an afternoon of nature filled fun. While in season Gilbert Lake has open swimming with a lifeguards on duty, kayak and row boat rentals, and a snack bar. While in season the vehicle entrance fee is $7. Gilbert Lake is open to the public year around and also has a bunch of hiking trails around the lake.

4. Go to the movies, roller skating/lazer tagging, or bowling in Oneonta.

Need to get off campus? Oneonta has a movie theater, roller rink, and bowling alley. These are some of the many cheap things to do in Oneonta on the weekend.

5. The Hollow

The Hollow is a concert venue located in Albany, NY. Almost every week they have different semi-well known bands come and preform. The tickets usually are not more then $30, but usually less. I went there last March and saw one of my favorite indie rock bands: Ra Ra Riot. It was a ton of fun, cheap, and only about an hour and twenty minutes from Oneonta.

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

University of Southern California

4298

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

1752

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
