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.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
