If your new in town this semester, or a seasoned veteran, don't let the cold (or the small size of Auburn) make you feel like there's nothing to do this winter.

Check out these places and try something new!

1. Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art

If you've been around Auburn at least once, I'm sure you've spotted this gorgeous building with the manicured lawn and lovely pond (adorned with two peculiar bunnies). So you've seen the art museum, but have you taken a journey inside? The museum features an ever-changing temporary exhibit that changes every few months alongside permanent installations that tease your mind. While you're there, stop by the cafe for a bite to eat or visit on one of the poetry reading nights and have a drink at the bar. Whatever you do, you'll enjoy your time here.

Address: 901 S College St, Auburn, AL 36830


2. Kiesel Park

A quaint dog park on the edge of Auburn, Kiesel Park is home to beautiful paths and relaxing ponds. Take your furry friend out for a sunny play date, or gather your friends for a picnic and a game of frisbee in one of the open fields.

Address: 520 Chadwick Ln, Auburn, AL 36832

3. Towncreek Park and Cemetery

Behind the art museum, this park has walking trails and an outside gym. Take an adventure up to the graveyard and visit the past as you walk amongst the gravestones .

Address: 1150 S Gay St, Auburn, AL 36832


4. Tuskegee National Forest

A short drive away from Auburn brings you to the natural Tuskeegee National Forest. A great place for a day hike, with trails ranging from a couple of miles to eight miles there and back!

Address: 125 National Forest Rd 949, Tuskegee, AL 36083

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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
