7 Places to Go in Fort Wayne, IN

So you want to do something fun? Are you close to Fort Wayne, IN? If so, then have I got some great places for you to try out!

Moose Lake Christian Craft Village

This is a quaint little place where you can explore little shops. During the summer you can rent cabins, there are also multiple water activities you can do. It's just a fun little place to go.

Fort Wayne Children's Zoo

This place holds a special little spot in my heart. Not only do I love animals, but I made some incredible friendships with the staff during my internship last summer. The animals are so cool to come see. You can feed giraffes, ride some rides, and even touch sting rays! Although only open during the summer time, it is still a very fun place to go!

Yummi Bunni

This is a unique little place to go if you love ice cream and donuts. They take two halves of a donut and place your ice cream in the middle. You can add toppings and make it something delicious!

Hyde Brother Books

I have only heard about this place, but the things that I have heard have been great. I have seen pictures of shelves filled with books. I'm pretty sure there is even a cat that walks around the store but don't quote me on that until you double check for yourself.

Fortezza Coffee

If you are looking for a cafe with a downtown atmosphere then this is the place for you. If you are looking for a place that does coffee art, then this is also the place for you! Just an overall great place.

Pint and Slice

Another place with great reviews is Pint and Slice. This place, according to their google search, is somewhere to enjoy unique pizzas, and craft beers for my 21 + readers, in a laid back setting. Sounds like an ideal place for me!

Coney Island

If you want to go where the stars have been then come visit Coney Island. Located right next to the Yummi Bunni in Downtown Fort Wayne it's an awesome place to go. Voted one of the number one places to go for multiple years in a row, it has great coney dogs and even pie. If you're looking for great food at pretty good prices (shoutout to my broke college friends) then this is the place to eat.

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.

To The Girl Who Falls Too Fast, Never Be Ashamed Of How Hard You Love

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

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.
