A Saturday in Oxford is arguably the best day of the week. It's a day typically spent sleeping in, grabbing First Stop, heading out to socialize at Beat and Broken, and waiting an eternity in line at Chipotle. While this is what we all live for each weekend, some friends and I decided to divert from the typical day and we ended up having one of the most perfect Saturdays I have experienced thus far at Miami.

The day began earlier than desired at the wee hour of 8:30 a.m. We quickly got ready and scurried over to Millet to participate in the first event of Greek Week, Crop Walk. Seeing all of the sororities and fraternities together was so positive and immediately put me in a good mood.

After finishing the walk, we headed uptown to fill our "basic white girl" needs. So, of course we stopped at Starbucks, and I indulged in a Pumpkin Spice Latte and croissant. We then sat outside and took in the sights and sounds of uptown Oxford and met some wonderful (and totally adorable) dogs.

Next, we headed over to the farmers' market. It was full of colorful, fresh fruit and veggies, vibrant flowers, unique jewelry, and delicious food. We already plan on going back next weekend since it had so much to offer.

On our way home, we decided to further explore this beautiful campus of ours and took a walk around Alumni Hall, something I have been wanting to do ever since I stepped foot on campus. Walking into Alumni felt like walking into Hogwarts. Its open entry with brick walls and the statue of George Washington greeted us, and the domed roof was absolutely breathtaking. I encourage every student to explore this hidden gem, because the architecture is definitely worth seeing.

The rest of our day was spent hanging out in our sorority suite studying, chatting, and snacking. It was a perfect balance of productivity, bonding, and procrastination. I didn't know it was possible to love my sorority sisters more than I already did, but somehow the relaxed afternoon we shared together solidified that I made the right decision last spring and now we share an unbreakable bond.

While my perfect day might sound boring to some, I found that it was the simplest of things that made my day enjoyable. I encourage everyone to divert from the typical Miami Saturday routine and explore the overlooked and unexplored. We're lucky to go to a school that has a beautiful campus and charming town.
