7 Awesome Things To Do While In Tampa
trip advisor

Tampa is a city in Florida filled with countless fun things to do, yet I still find myself bored on a Saturday/Sunday afternoon not knowing what to do with the day. For those of you who have the same problem as I do, I thought I'd make out a list of plenty of things to do while in Tampa that will make you realize why Tampa is such an awesome place.

1. Bike ride or walk around Bayshore.

Bayshore Boulevard is a beautiful area along the bay where you can walk/run/bike ride and soak up the Florida sun. Not to mention, if you get lucky, you can see dolphins popping in and out of the water while you journey down the 4.5 mile stretch.

2. Stop by Soho Donuts.

If you're feeling a little less motivated/healthy, take a stop at Soho Donuts to splurge a little and have the most delicious donuts you'll ever taste. I'm not talking basic, good tasting donuts, I'm talking gourmet donuts that have any type of cereal you can think of on them, with countless other flavor donuts as well. (If you like coconut, try the Samoan donut, you won't regret it.)

3. Go to the Florida Aquarium.

Though I've never been, it's home to over 20,000 aquatic animals and plants. So if you're interested in aquatic animals, this is definitely the place to go.

4. Take a trip to Ybor City.

Ybor City is a place you can walk through during the day time and check out all of the cool shops in the area. Or, you can go here at night time and see how the cute little city from day time, turns into an insane crazy time at night. Let's just say this, going out for the night in Ybor City will be a night that you will never forget, even if you remember the events solely off of your friends explanations of it the next morning.

5. Visit the Lowry Park Zoo.

This zoo in Tampa was voted the #1 Family Friendly Zoo in 2009. If you're an animal lover and enjoy spending time in the sun, this is the place for you.

6. Get some breakfast at Daily Eats.

Daily Eats is a small restaurant in Tampa that serves breakfast foods, along with other foods, all day long. Whether you are looking for a hangover cure the next morning, or simply craving breakfast food at odd hours in the day, Daily Eats will serve you delicious food that will leave you satisfied and counting down the days until your next trip here.

7. Explore Downtown Tampa.

Downtown Tampa is a beautiful area with plenty of coffee shops, amazing graffiti artwork, and so much more.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
