8 Things To Visit In Phillidelphia

After being in the Philadelphia area for the last month, I have been able to really experience Philly and seen what the city has to offer. And let me tell you, this city is amazing! Here are 10 things that you absolutely have to do when you go to Philly:

1. Spruce Street Harbor Park


This park is right on the Delaware river and it is a place I would be more than willing to spend every weekend. There are places to get beer and other alcohol, food, and even games for children to play while the parents drink there alcoholic beverage. The best part of the park is that there are hammocks all over for you to relax and hang out on.

2. The Magic Gardens

The Magic Gardens located right on South Street are probably one of the most unique things Philly has to offer. It is a garden full of mosaics created out of garbage. The garden itself is quite big and has all sorts of unique pieces, some you will never forget! The cool thing, too, is as you go down south street you will find this type of artwork in certain allies.

3. Adventure Aquarium


If you are looking for something to do out of the sun, this aquarium is the perfect thing. It is right on the Delaware River on the other side of the park above. You get to see things like penguins, hippos, all the way to sharks and sea creatures.

4. The Liberty Bell


The Liberty Bell has so much history and is an incredible sight to see. Located in the center of Philly, make sure you check it out!

5. The Independence Beer Garden


This beer garden is located right by the Liberty Bell. It has a good amount of draft beer and a selection of liquor. With games like connect four, ping pong, and corn hole for those tailgate lovers, this is the perfect place to visit..

6. Logan Circle


Logan Circle is not far from City Hall and is in the center of where the National Science Museum and library are located. Usually full of children swimming and tourists who put their feet in the water to cool down, it is also a lot of fun as the street is filled with every country flag you could imagine.

7.Chinatown


I know there is a Chinatown in almost every big city, but for me this was my first Chinatown and I was quite impressed. They had some awesome bakeries, restaurants, and more. My favorite place was this crêpe place. If you get a chance to go to Chinatown, go and get a crêpes. You will not be disappointed!

8. Paesano's


If you are looking for awesome sandwiches, go to Paesano's. This place is absolutly fantastic. They have any kind of sandwich you could of think of put on an incredible type of bread. It is located a little outside of downtown but well worth the drive or walk.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
