Maybe a little over a year ago I blogged about some of my favorite things ON campus. Well, now, having been here 4 years, I am going to tell you about some of my favorite OFF campus things.
1. Pet Stores
We aren't allowed to have cats or dogs in the dorms, so me and my friends would go visit the local pet stores and play with the animals there.
Also referred to as ZSW or Zebra, this place has some awesome ice cream and tea and a really fun atmosphere as well.
3. Styer's Orchard
In the fall you can go pick your own fruit... it reminds me a little of home, and its also cheaper than in the store.
4. Target
A great place to roam around in... play hide and seek... and practice your hoola-hooping skills!
5. Parks
This is probably one of my most favorite categories of things to do off campus. You could have a cookout, play firsbee, have a picnic, fly a kite, go for a walk, be pooped on by birds, or go hiking... the possibilities are endless and there is always something to explore. Some of my favorite parks are:
6. Nifty Fifty's
This one has been one of my favorites for a long time... I have been going there with friends since my freshmen year when we first went for someone's birthday. They have a ton of options for milkshakes and sodas!
7. Philadelphia... and of course cheesesteaks!
I don't think I will ever get sick of watching people in Philadelphia, everyone is so different! But also, besides having some awesome architecture and history... Philadelphia also has cheesesteaks! One of my favorite places to get cheesesteaks is Jim's on South Street. Sometimes me and my friends eat them there... or we go find somewhere else in Philadelphia to eat them. 
8. Camping
There are a lot of places in the area that you can go camping close to school, and it is pretty cheap. Unfortunately, I do not remember the name of this campground, but it was one of my favorites!
So, there you have it... a few of my favorite things. There are some others of course... if I think of them I will post them!
