8 Stag Friendly Spring Activities At Fairfield U

Fairfield University

As the weather gets warmer (we hope), it's time to head outside and breathe in some fresh air and time to soak up the sun.

Even though most college students are still on campus as the weather gets warmer, there are plenty of things to do around campus and downtown to enjoy the spring fever.

1. Go for a walk or a run.

Call your friends and go for a walk around campus, or walk to the beach or downtown area. Take a walk up to Bellarmine and find the Zen Garden. It's actually pretty cool, and if you also walk to the edge of the hill, you can spot the famous Fairfield turkeys' home. There are actually 1,000 of them lurking down below.

2. Go downtown for lunch.

Go to Firehouse Deli and indulge in one of their amazing sandwiches. The Thanksgiving and Redgate have my heart forever. There's also a million other fantastic places to eat downtown. Better yet, order take out and bring it to the beach.

3. Go to the beach.

Organize a beach day with your friends. Pack some towels and hang out on the beach. It's so fun to get some schoolwork done at the beach or just hang around and relax.

4. Hang out in the Quad.

Nothing is better than on the first really nice day of spring when everyone is out on the quad. It's so fun to walk around and socialize. It's fun to hang around and get some work done outside as well.

5. Take a day trip to the city.

Go for shopping, maybe a Broadway show or even a fabulous Sunday brunch with your girls.

6. Go to Westport, New Canaan or Greenwich to shop.

Honestly, hands down best places to shop in the state of Connecticut. So many cute boutiques for you to shop in and stock up on some spring and summer clothes.

7. Have your family come up for the day.

Fairfield University’s campus is beautiful during the spring and it's so nice to have your family come up and take a walk around campus. It's also a great time to go downtown and go out to dinner. There's so many great restaurants, some of my favorites during this time of year are the ones with outdoor seating so that you can eat and enjoy the quaint town of Fairfield.

8. Go downtown to do homework.

A fun way to spend a Sunday with friends and a great way to catch up on some work. Downtown has some really cute coffee shops that are perfect to hang out in for the day. There are also places to sit outside downtown like at the gazebo or at the tables at the beach.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
