The Top 10 Places In Walking Distance of Salem College

As a student at Salem College, I have found that there are some essential locations within walking distance of campus that students should know about. These places mostly include coffee shops, restaurants and a variety of stores -- which are essential in any college students’ lifestyle.

1. Camino is a local bakery that is great for the college student that wants to study away from campus. With a variety of refreshments and pastries, an individual can do homework while enjoying a hot beverage and an amazing pastry.

2. Mellow Mushroom is a great pizza place that has a variety of items that can satisfy any individual. With a young vibe, Mellow Mushroom is an essential dining option for a group of college students.

3. The coffee at Krankies is the same coffee that is sold at the Student Center and at Caminos. They do not taste the same, however, so I recommend trying all of them to find out which one you prefer.

4. The Design Archives Emporium is a must see for college students. They have a variety of items from a variety of sellers. When you walk in, you will see various sections that hold anything from clothes to pictures and each section is different with a multitude of themes and items.

5. Finnegan’s Wake is an Irish pub and grill that serves anything from sandwiches to pulled pork and attracts a variety of consumers from all ages.

6. Tropical Smoothie is a great place to not only get smoothies, but food (and with your college ID you get a discount on your purchase).

7. Camel City BBQ Factory is an entertaining place to enjoy a meal and play games at your table or around the restaurant. With amazing barbecue and entertaining activities for your family and friends, this is a hot spot for college students.

8. Twin City Hive Coffee Lounge is an affordable and delicious coffee shop. It is a great place to go if you want some quiet time to study or just want to spend some time away from campus.

9. Inside The Dancing Goat is a subway and a coffee shop; and are the closest to campus out of this list. The Dancing Goat is usually packed around lunch and dinner and contains a variety of business individuals and college students.10. Foothills Brewpub is a nice restaurant that is perfect for celebrating or just having a nice meal with friends or family. They also, occasionally, feature live music in the bar room.


These 10 are just some of my personal favorites (but Camino is the best -- don't tell Krankies!)

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.
