Sunday at Farmers Market.

A great way to spend your Sunday is by going to the Farmers Market at Lake Eola Park, in downtown Orlando. Lots of fresh food, plants, and handmade craft items. This place is also dog friendly, so if you have a furr-friend, there is no need to leave him/her at home!


Spend your afternoon at Baldwin Park

A perfect way to relax and enjoy your afternoon is by going for a walk around Baldwin Park. You can walk, run, or rent a bike and roam around this beautiful community. There are restaurants, cute shops, and a dog park, so there is a bit for everyone.



Walk around Park Avenue

Located in Downtown Winter Park. This place has many good restaurants, cafes, shops, boutiques and museums to spend a perfect day with the family. This is a dog-friendly destination for pets all sizes, with a water station for your furr-friend in every corner. I usually recommend going on weekdays since it can get pretty busy on the weekends.


Rent a kayak at Wekiva Island

Located in the Headwaters of Wekiva River. This is a great place to relax and spend your weekend, swim in the springs, and rent a canoe, kayak or paddleboard to paddle along the river and make as many stops as you like. At the Island, there is a beach volleyball court for you to play with your friends, drink and eat. This is the best place to sit back, relax, and enjoy life.


Lunch at Shake Shack, Downtown Winter Park

This place is personally one of my favorites. The food is already amazing, but this place’s location in particular makes it one of the best places to have lunch in Orlando, FL. It has an outdoor patio space, with a stunning hidden view of the Lake Killarney, where you can see an amazing sunset view over the lake while you enjoy your delicious shack-burger. It also has a ping-pong table where you can play with your friends. And don't forget this place also has a Doggy-Menu, because the best places are always dog friendly! This place is a must-go if you are located in the Central Florida area.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
