5 Orlando Gems I Can't Wait To Visit Once Quarantine Is Over

I'm happy staying at home to help flatten the curve, but I definitely miss my favorite places in Orlando.

5 Orlando Gems I Can't Wait To Visit Once Quarantine Is Over

At this point in quarantine, many of us are itching to get back outside. While I may not be ready to venture out into the world the second everything reopens, I do have a list of Orlando gems that I can't wait to visit again.

1. Enzian

Enzian is a beautiful little non-profit theater in Winter Park that shows every kind of film imaginable. If it wasn't for quarantine, Enzian's Florida Film Festival would have just been wrapping up last week. Though I don't attend every day of the festival, I definitely did miss not popping over to see a movie or a shorts program. They are currently hosting Enzian on Demand, where you can stream some of the movies they were going to show online, but it's just not the same without their food.

2. RockPit Brewery

Anyone that knows me, know I don't drink. However, I love spending time at RockPit Brewing near SoDo. If you do like to drink, they have some amazing craft beers on rotating taps. I mean, who wouldn't want to try Jolly Quencher, their sour beer that tasted exactly like a watermelon Jolly Rancher?! However, if you're more like me and would rather drink water, RockPit still has a wonderful ambiance that you will love. They have plenty of card games to play with friends and you might even catch a glimpse of a cute puppy or two hanging around the patio! Plus, they've paired with locale #3 to offer you amazing food as well!

3. Cecil's BBQ

Cecil's BBQ is an amazing and underrated BBQ place right next to RockPit Brewing. The two have partnered together to offer a limited menu that you can order right from the comfort of your table at RockPit. If you're feeling a wider range of options though, Cecil's BBQ is only a few short steps from RockPit's patio. I highly reccomend their nachos, tots, and briscit!

4. Arlia Tattoos

@findyoursmile

Russell Van Schaick (@findyoursmile) is a local watercolor tattoo artist. He does amazing work and designs a lot of cute, nerdy pieces. Now, I am NOT getting a tattoo any time soon. However, I am looking forward to the opening of his new tattoo shop, Arlia Tattoos. From the sneak peeks he has posted, the place looks like it is going to be incredible! It is highly themed, to the point where it looks like you could be walking onto a Disney or Universal attraction rather than getting a tattoo. I am definitely looking forward to hanging out there while my boyfriend gets another one of Russell's amazing watercolor pieces.

5. Disney

And last, but not least, I can't wait to go to Disney again! I know this might seem like a bit of a cheat since it's not really as much of a hidden gem as my other places, but it's a wonderful place to visit nonetheless. I have no idea what it will look like when the theme parks do finally open again, but I do know that I miss Food and Wine/Flower and Garder/whatever seasonal event excuse I have to eat around the world. When this quarantine is over and it's safe to visit Disney again, no one is going to stop me from spending $12 on two lobster ravioli.

I definitely miss these five Orlando gems, but I am more than willing to stay inside until this pandemic is over so we can all stay safe. Until then, I'll be dreaming about being back at my favorite places.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

SUNY Binghamton

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
