Things Only People From The 518 Do In The Fall

Growing up in the 518 (upstate New York) definitely had its pros and cons. Mostly cons, considering there is really nothing for teens to do all year besides go to Crossgates or eat at the infamous "76". Every season in the area has some pros as well. In the Winter you can ice-skate at the Capitol, in the Spring you can go to the St. Patty's Day Parade and Tulip Fest and in the Summer you can pretty much have an outdoor party at SPAC (when you're not boating or walking around "LG"). The Fall is by far the best seasons. Only the people who grew up here understand why. So don't forget to stop at these prime spots before Winter.


Thacher Park

Every girl in the 518 goes to the ledge and takes a fall foliage picture. They usually all look the same but somehow I always seem to like every single one of them on social media.

Toll Gate Ice-cream

If you've never been here it was a wasted trip to Thacher Park. Definitely spot you must stop at on the drive home no matter what season.

Bowman's Orchard

Where else do you actually pick apples and get donuts? Bowman's Orchard is THE place to be mid-October. Don't believe me? Check the locations on the insta pics.


Double M

Admit it, you go every year and it never gets any better. The hayride gets worse and the crowd gets younger.

Fright Fest

We have the worst Six Flags out of them all but somehow we still drag ourselves there or atleast plan to go to. It's usually free anyway because we all have a season pass.

Stop at your fav ice-cream spot

Fall is the last time you can get the BEST ice-cream in the 518 before all the stands close down. So hurry and buy quarts of your favorite flavors before they're gone until spring.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
