What is there to do in Clinton?...#3

"There is nothing to do in Clinton", how many times have you heard that one? Well, hopefully - after reading this blog - your weekends will consist of more than watching t.v. and wishing you were home...
1.) Follow the flight of stairs on the edge of the quad down to the street in between Self and Aven, walk about two blocks...there you will come across a brick road lined with quaint little shops, my favorite happens to be the large antique store on the corner...in it are endless hours worth of browsing...vintage wedding dresses, cowboy boots, ancient books, unique pottery, and an infinite supply of jewelry...
2.)Wal-mart may be good for grocery shopping but think of it more as a place to engage your creative genius - go on a scavenger hunt with your friends - buy a plain notebook, glue, scissors, and some magazines...collages anyone? Spice things up and create your own journal or memory book...which brings me to point number three...
3.)Never be without your camera...take a drive with some friends and stop along the way to take pictures,go to a thrift store and try on random clothes - anything to make it memorable! If you love photography like I do then on campus is where you should be...beautiful, old oak trees, random benches, and timeless fountains...black and white photos are my favorite...and when you get the pictures developed make sure to write when and where they were taken (you think you'll remember but trust me - you won't)this campus is full of history and great photo ops, you just have to be looking...
4.)Everyone in the world should know about Jazzman's chocolate chip muffins - make sure to try one, and tell me what you think...

* I realize that this is a very different blogging experience - if you enjoyed it however, tell me so, and I promise to come up with more ideas...gentlemen, this was really geared more towards the ladies and if you have read this far then I applaud you...thank you and goodnight...
