Every modern day hipster knows that we love vintage things as much as we love coffee and tea. Whether you are down to sip on some coffee and write in your journal or are looking for something a little more upbeat, you can grab your typewriter and take note of this list.

1. The Duce

This is not your average sit down restaurant. The Duce was once a 1920's warehouse (and still is) where people came to dance and have fun at night. The warehouse is filled with vintage sportswear, different kinds of food (try their pot pies in a jar!), bleachers to chill out on, and tons of games (such as corn hole, ping pong, and foosball).

2. Curious Nature

Are you a fan of oddities such as skeletons and taxidermy butterflies? Curious Nature is a place for those who appreciate "ethically sourced taxidermy, skulls, and bones, to exotic plants, collectibles, and gifts."

3. Cobra Arcade

Cobra Arcade is a bar filled with vintage arcade games such as Dig Dug, Donkey King, Centipede, and tons more. If you have an appreciation for old school games, then this is definitely the place for you.

4. Concerts at The Van Buren

Giphy

Like any modern hipster will know, music is an imperative part of our lifestyle. Artists such as Billie Eilish, Ziggy Marley and The X Ambassadors love to come through and play at this small venue. If you get the opportunity to get your hands on a ticket, check it out.

5. The Baked Bear

This is probably the best ice cream sandwich that you will ever have in your life. You can choose from 12 different kinds of cookies, 15 different ice cream flavors and a ton of toppings to create your own masterpiece.

6. Stinkweeds

This pace is a really rad record store with a funny name…enough said.

7. FilmBar

"At FilmBar, enjoy food, drinks, movies, and relaxation in our one-of-a-kind independent theater here in downtown Phoenix. We specialize in Indie and Foreign flicks, as well as Cult, Classic, Retro, and Locally Made films." FilmBar switches their movies daily and is a great way to escape the summer heat.

8. Cheese ‘N Stuff

Giphy

This place is a deli that has been around for 6 years. They always have fresh ingredients which make the most magnificent sandwiches.

9. Be Coffee and Food

Two words…latte art. They also have amazing tea too!

10. Phoenix Art Museum

Giphy

With tons of different exhibits, the Phoenix Art museum is definitely a place that you will want to spend at least half a day in. The artwork will blow you away. I definitely recommend the Firefly room by Yayoi Kusama.

11. Luci's

Luci's is an adorable vintage themed market place that carries healthier food options. Their breakfast aesthetic is flawless and it tastes great too!

12. Rokerij

The atmosphere in the restaurant is always relaxing and is lit by a lot of candle light. Their tasty New Mexican dishes are served in hefty portions, so get ready to share with someone.

13. Antique Gatherings

With over 18,000 square feet of antiques, this place is beyond fun to go to with a friend or two.

14. Songbird Coffee and Tea House

Giphy

This place welcomes every type of person and plays live music often. "Songbird prides itself on hosting a variety of musicians, artists, poets, story tellers, and craft-folk."

15. Musical Instrument Museum

Giphy

Similar to the Phoenix Art museum, it is a museum dedicated to obscure (and normal) musical instruments. Words cannot describe how cool this museum really is.

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.

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.
