If you're in the area, here's what you don't want to miss out on.

Oxford Exchange

Yes, this place can be rather expensive, but it also has something for almost everyone. There's different tea sets to look at if you're a tea enthusiast. There's a bookstore near the front if you like to read. And if you're just in the mood for a meal, there's a restaurant inside with some pretty nice food.

The Tampa Humane Society

Most people come here when they're interested in adopting a pet. However, if you're an animal lover, you can go to the humane society and see the bunnies in the outside enclosure, visit some of the stray dogs that have been picked up, or go to the rooms they have where one can play with cats or kittens to their heart's content

Tampa Premium Outlets

Nicely laid out, this outdoor mall has much to offer in terms of shopping. If you're there in the summer and start to suffer from the infamous Florida heat, you can take a break at the ice cream store or sit down under an umbrella near the fountain.

Studio Movie Grill

Located inside the University Mall near USF Campus, this movie theater offers a variety of menu options to choose from as you sit back and enjoy whichever movie you've come to see that day. And then after that, you can have a nice walk around the mall.

Busch Gardens

Even if you're not a huge fan of roller coasters, this park offers an African-themed safari with a wide variety of different animals to admire, ranging from flamingos to giraffes. The rides themselves are stomach-turning, in a good way. You'll enjoy from dropped and dangled from great heights.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
