"Where do you go to school?"

"Oh, is that in Lubbock? Is there even anything to do in Lubbock?"

Have you ever been faced with answering these types of questions after your move to the good old LBK? If you have, what has been your answer?

For those of you who, like me, didn't think there was anything to do in Lubbock before you got here, are left stumped trying to answer this question, then I have some good news for you.

Here are five things to do in Lubbock to make all the skeptics wish they too lived in the Hub City.

1. Watch a movie at the Stars and Stripes Drive-In

How hard is it to find an actual drive-in movie theatre these days? Stress no more because Lubbock has a one, perfect for college students on a budget. You can view two movies for the price of one! Grab your truck and some friends and head out to catch a recent release.


2. Go hiking at Ransom Canyon

Ransom Canyon is known for being one of the two great hiking places (Palo Duro Canyon being the other) near Lubbock, and almost everyone takes a trip out to hike there. You won't want to miss the view!


3. Check out Buffalo Springs Lake

Buffalo Springs Lake is not too far from Lubbock and if you are looking for the best lake around, then this is it. The lake is perfect place for water fun activities, grilling out, and spending the day relaxing on the water.


4. Go to the First Friday Art Trail

Take a walk through Lubbock’s Cultural District on the first Friday of every month and see some of the best art galleries and have an opportunity to meet the artists.


5. Watch the sunset

The sunsets in Lubbock are probably some of the most gorgeous sunsets you will ever see during your time here on Earth. Find a spot in town or drive out into the countryside, and watch the sunset. It's not something you will want to miss!


Prove the skeptics wrong with your awesome weekend plans, and have a great time!

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
