Play Games and Get Fit while at the Beach

July 1, 2009 by Paige Blatnik  

Many of us are looking forward to going on vacation this summer and a lot of us will be vacationing at the beach.  The beach is a great place to have fun and relax.  What many people do not realize is that there is an infinite amount of things to do while you are at the beach!  It is more than just a beach of sand and a mass of water! 

But vacationing isn’t all about relaxing and being lazy.  By staying active, your body and your mind stay active.  So why not incorporate being healthy and vacationing at the beach?  Here are the top 10 games and activities to play at the beach that will also get your body into shape.

A New Outlook On Mill Avenue

June 15, 2009 by Alexandra Paul  

After turning 21, I was in no rush to hit up the bars on Mill and when I finally did, I was far from impressed.  Between the long lines and the too friendly guys, I found Mill to be over-hyped.  However, this past weekend I had a few friends come in to town (hence the last blog), and I knew I had to give the infamous strip of bars another go.  After a trip to Oregano’s for a glass of wine and a pazookie, the girls from Philly and I met up with some other friends at Chronic Taco.  From there the night was full of friends, drinks and a lot of fun!  It also gave me a new found faith in Mill!

We hit up Fat Tuesdays for 99 cent drinks and the Big Bang for some great music.  After an hour spent dancing like fools, we headed to our final destination at The Tavern.  The dancing ensued and some major laughs as well.  We woke up the next day with lost voices but remembered how much fun we all had.  I know see why Mill Avenue has been the place for college students to party and I don’t think that my friends will have a hard time convincing me to go now that I see just how much fun Mill has to offer!
