7 Of The Best Events To Check Out In Tuscaloosa This Season

Hello, fall weather (well maybe not so fast here in Tuscaloosa!) The leaves are slowly changing colors and college football is in full swing. As we cruise through this season, there is more than just fall break to look forward to! Here are some events you should write down in your agenda to accomplish over the new few months.

1. The Iron Bowl

One good thing about the fall is that the Crimson Tide's biggest game occurs during this time! This year, the Iron Bowl is on November 24. And better yet, it is here in Tuscaloosa so don't put your shakers and cowboy boots away too fast!

2. Spending the day relaxing at the park

Whether you're enjoying a day at Snow Hinton Park or relaxing by the Black Warrior River, you can enjoy nature and watch the leaves turn crimson while you doze off in an Enu with a book.

3. Go on a haunted house tour

Even though Tuscaloosa is home of the Crimson Tide, it's also home to many haunted places you can go through. The most well known Haunted House tour is Haunted Tuscaloosa Tours. The tours are an hour and a half where you can explore the dark history of Tuscaloosa starting at the Historic Drish House.

4. Sweater Weather!!! 

Behold, the days of Nike shorts and Chacos will soon come to a close and the days of socks and sandals, Uggs, sweatpants, hoodies and more will arrive in its place!! Attending afternoon football games will finally become bearable without a heat stroke.

5. Go To Pink Box Burlesque's "Rocky Horror Picture Show" 

Do the Time Warp again by attending the local Pink Box Burlesque's rendition of the "Rocky Horror Show" on October 27. This will be there 11th year performing at the Bama Theatre. The audience is allowed to participate with prop bags that will be sold in the lobby for five dollars.

6. Go to a pumpkin patch

No fall season is complete without going to a pumpkin patch! On McFarland Blvd in Northport, people are able to purchase pumpkins at Flatwoods Pumpkin Patch and participate in their fall festival. You can also score some cute fall pictures with your besties!

7. Take a trip to Old Bryce Hospital

If you're brave enough, you can visit the abandoned Jemison Center Insane Asylum Hospital, nicknamed "Old Bryce." People have said it's haunted so if you're into stuff like that, be my guest! But be careful, sometimes police control the area and if you're caught trespassing, you will be prosecuted!

This is by far the best season of the year where the atmosphere changes and everyone starts thinking about Halloween and Thanksgiving, but before jumping to November there are numerous activities that you should take advantage of right here in Tuscaloosa!

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
