Not having a car in college can be a struggle, but why fight for parking when there’s so much to do within walking distance of campus. #ExploreFSU and the Tallahassee area on foot and check out the following places this week. (All walking times are mapped from the Ogelsby Union). 

1. Have a picnic at Doug Burnett Park on a Sunday afternoon: Burnett Park is the perfect place to relax outside while still being in the center of town. When you’re there, write on the “Before I Die...” wall located in the park. Walking time: 24 minutes

2. Grab a cup of coffee and get some homework done at a local cafe: Some of my favorites include All Saints Cafe, Catalina Cafe, and Calvin’s Coffee House. Walking time: 12 to 22 minutes

3. College Town is a go to option no matter the time of day: College Town has a lot to offer students including dining, shopping, and nightlife. Brooklyn Water Bagel’s coffee is my personal favorite in the area (get the Cubsta)! Walking time: approx. 15 minutes

4. Spend an evening with your friends at First Friday: Railroad Square Art Park, just off of Gaines Street is a vibrant and growing area of town. There are cafes, shops, art galleries and more in the area, ranging from rock climbing to a comic book store. On the first Friday of every month, the stores and restaurants in and around Railroad Square stay open late for people to enjoy. The event includes art, live music, food, and shopping. It is definitely something that you should add to your “before I graduate” bucket list. Walking time: 28 minutes

5. Jam out to some local entertainment: There are many performances to see on campus and the area nearby. These include shows by the School of Theatre, School of Dance, College of Fine Arts, and various groups on campus. Local and non-local bands also have gigs around town almost every day. Some venues to check out are the Side Bar Theatre off of Railroad Avenue and Club Downunder on campus. Walking time: 1 to 20 minutes
