"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!
