Fun things to do (even when it gets cold!)

Since it’s getting cooler outside- and dark very early! I wanted to share 3 things my friends and I have been doing to stay busy and have fun!

  1. Going to the Coral Ridge Mall

    I love driving here with my friends, but if you don’t have a car, you can take the (free) bus! There are a ton of places to shop, and a lot of different food options. I love being able to go to a full-size Target every once and a while :).

  2. Dorm movie nights!

    My friend has a TV in her room, so it’s really fun to hang out and watch things together. Especially when there are special things like SNL, presidential debates, or something new on Netflix. My roommate and I just ordered a projector and we are so excited to start using it!

  3. Going to a movie theater

    There are a few movie theaters nearby, and super fun to shake things up every once in a while. The Sycamore Theatre even has a DippinDots vending machine!

Have a great week everyone!
