6 Activities For A Winter In Boston
Able Grape

I have always loved living near the city. There is always something to do, inside and out. Living in Boston definitely has its perks, and since we endure such a long winter, we might as well make the best of it. If you're in the area, here are some uncommon things to do in Boston in the winter.

1. ImprovBoston

If you're looking to laugh until your sides hurt, this is the choice for you. ImprovBoston is a nonprofit organization that humors people five days a week through the improvisation shows directed by the audience. Nothing is scripted as cast members take suggestions on topics straight from the audience. This should definitely be on everyone's to-do list.

2. Chocolate Factory

This particular activity speaks out to the chocoholics out there. Located in the heart of Boston, we have Max Brenner's Chocolate factory. This place simply has the best hot chocolate I've ever had in my life. Everything about going there is an experience, and it is definitely worth it.

3. Bad Art Museum

It's funny that a place like this actually exists. Made for artists to showcase what otherwise wouldn't be showcased, the Museum of Bad Art is the perfect place to go for a quick laugh. You'll see all kinds of interesting and ridiculous forms of art which makes for a really fun day running away from the cold.

4. Brooklyn Boulders

Calling out to the athletic people! Brooklyn Boulders is a rock climbing gym located right in Somerville. Containing a variety of classes and events, this 40,000 square foot facility challenges those who walk in to take fitness fun to another level.

5. Mapparium

This three-story, stained-glass globe is perfect for an afternoon of flashing back to the past - 1935 to be exact. It shows a change in our world through music, lights, and words. It is located right in the Mary Baker Eddy Library. What better way to spend a snowy and cold winter day than here?

6. Wicked Escapes

This one's my personal favorite. Imagine being stuck in jail with a bunch of your friends and trying to plan a breakout. Wicked Escapes gives you the chance to do just that. Searching for clues and trying to figure out a mystery has never been more thrilling. Grab a few of your closest friends, split up into groups, and try to bail yourselves out of jail, orange jumpsuits and all.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
