6 Things To Do On A Quiet Weekend In Madison, Wisconsin

For any Badger fan, on an off weekend when there's no home game in Wisconsin, you’re most likely unsure of how to spend your time. With no tailgates to go to, and no game to go to, what is a Badger fan to do? Well, sometimes a quiet off weekend can be nice and there are plenty of things in Madison for one to do. Here are a few:

1. Binge watch movies

Because who doesn't love a good binge watch. On a quiet weekend when it is starting to get cold, curling up on the couch with a blanket and snacks and watching a marathon of your favorite movies is exactly what you need.

2. Go shopping

We all love shopping, but sometimes we just don't have the time to go. Going to the mall on a quiet weekend is the best time. Grab your friends and head to the mall for a shopping spree. With plenty of time to kill and a ton of stores to shop in, the mall is the perfect place to go.

3. Cook dinner with friends

Sometimes it can be hard to cook meals during the week when you're busy. However, on a quiet weekend in Madison, cooking a meal with your friends is a perfect way to spend your time. Not only do you get to hang out with your friends, but also you get to have a homemade meal.

4. Catch up on things

During the week it can be hard to catch up on the little things. Whether it's doing your laundry, cleaning your room, reading a book there are always a ton of things to catch up on. A quiet weekend in Madison is the perfect time to do so. Even if it’s starting your work in advanced, this is the perfect time to do it.

5. Workout

A relaxing weekend in Madison is the perfect time to workout. Going for a run, doing yoga, or taking a workout class is a perfect way. You can sleep in late and then workout stress-free, knowing that you have all the time to do it! Working out is not only a perfect way to spend your time but also a good way to relieve stress and forget about whatever work you had during the week.

6. Go to Chicago

With nothing going on in Madison and maybe not much to do, sometimes you need a change of scenery. A great place to go to that's not far away is Chicago. It's as easy as getting on the bus or taking a car and driving the 3 hours away. There are plenty of things to do and you can go for the day and be back in Madison at night!

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
