The Best Of Broad Ripple, For Those Under 21

Kylie

About a 10 minute drive from Butler University, Broad Ripple Village is a hotspot for college students and young adults alike. For those on the younger end of the spectrum, BRipp can sometimes seem like it doesn't exactly cater to those under 21. While that may be the case for some of the restaurants, Broad Ripple offers a range of activities for those of all ages--the secret is knowing where to look.

Here's a list of just 10 of the amazing opportunities Broad Ripple provides to cater to the younger (or less rowdy) crowd.

1. Broad Ripple Farmers Market

Open every Saturday morning (8 a.m. to noon May through September, 9 a.m. to noon October and November), the Broad Ripple Farmers Market is full of vendors selling everything from squash to smoothies. Grab some friends and go perusing. Whether you're looking for a morning pastry or flower shopping for your room, the Broad Ripple Farmers Market is the place to be.

Learn more by visiting their Facebook page.

2. Nicey Treat

A funky twist on traditional popsicles, Nicey Treat is an absolute gem of an asset for Broad Ripple. With more creamy flavors like Cookie Butter and more icy flavors like Watermelon, Nicey has a wide array of options (including some strange concoctions like orange sour cream and avocado). The shop also offers milk or dark chocolate dip top... YUM!

PSSST... Keep your leftover popsicle sticks. Once you collect 10, you can turn them in for a free Nicey pop!

See their blog posts, upcoming food truck appearances, and more here.

3. The Garden Table

A slightly smaller (but still super cute) version of The Garden Table Mass Avenue, The Garden Table is a great place to get a healthy, Instagram-worthy brunch. The café serves coffees, juices, acai bowls, avocado toast, and more.

Learn more about the benefits of the health food Garden Table offers on their website.

4. Condado Tacos

Condado Tacos is a branch of restaurants that began in Columbus, OH and opened in Broad Ripple Village in summer 2018. Walking inside this sit-down restaurant makes you feel like you are stepping into a comic book--except in this one, you can customize the ending! Right from your seat, you can pick your tortilla, meat, toppings, and sauces by filling out a form similar to a Scantron (except you are much more likely to be pleased with the result).

Have more than 1,000 followers on Twitter or Instagram? Posting a picture of yourself at Condado will earn you a free taco!

Check out their menu and more on their website!

5. Good Earth Natural Food Co.

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

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

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.
