Fun Things To Do In Orlando Besides Theme Parks

Sunday at Farmers Market.

A great way to spend your Sunday is by going to the Farmers Market at Lake Eola Park, in downtown Orlando. Lots of fresh food, plants, and handmade craft items. This place is also dog friendly, so if you have a furr-friend, there is no need to leave him/her at home!


Spend your afternoon at Baldwin Park

A perfect way to relax and enjoy your afternoon is by going for a walk around Baldwin Park. You can walk, run, or rent a bike and roam around this beautiful community. There are restaurants, cute shops, and a dog park, so there is a bit for everyone.



Walk around Park Avenue

Located in Downtown Winter Park. This place has many good restaurants, cafes, shops, boutiques and museums to spend a perfect day with the family. This is a dog-friendly destination for pets all sizes, with a water station for your furr-friend in every corner. I usually recommend going on weekdays since it can get pretty busy on the weekends.


Rent a kayak at Wekiva Island

Located in the Headwaters of Wekiva River. This is a great place to relax and spend your weekend, swim in the springs, and rent a canoe, kayak or paddleboard to paddle along the river and make as many stops as you like. At the Island, there is a beach volleyball court for you to play with your friends, drink and eat. This is the best place to sit back, relax, and enjoy life.


Lunch at Shake Shack, Downtown Winter Park

This place is personally one of my favorites. The food is already amazing, but this place’s location in particular makes it one of the best places to have lunch in Orlando, FL. It has an outdoor patio space, with a stunning hidden view of the Lake Killarney, where you can see an amazing sunset view over the lake while you enjoy your delicious shack-burger. It also has a ping-pong table where you can play with your friends. And don't forget this place also has a Doggy-Menu, because the best places are always dog friendly! This place is a must-go if you are located in the Central Florida area.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
