Day to Explore

So, my friends and I have decided that every weekend (we hope) we are going to pick a different area of Washington DC to explore. This weekend’s choice was Georgetown! Places to visit on the list are: Georgetown Cupcakes, Annie Cream Cheese and what even else we found exploring. If you want to get into Georgetown from Tenleytown you need to take bus 31, 32, or 36 from the most stop right at Tenley Circle to the M St. NW and Wisconsin Ave. NW bus stop. The bus ride takes about thirty minutes. Georgetown has tons of stores and restaurants to explore.

When we got to Georgetown Cupcakes the line was around the corner and since it was misty rain day we decided to save waiting for cupcakes for a sunny day. Annie Cream Cheese has some great funky clothes. Annie Cream Cheese also has some really fun sunglasses. On Mondays they have some great deals for college students of 40% off when you have your college ID. Next stop was h&m which had a great sale section where I got a perfect blouse for my business casual days. We got lunch at this really great Italian restaurant down a side street off of M Street. I have never really liked tomatoes or tomato sauce but I loved the tomato sauce at this restaurant!

Getting off campus and being out around people other than students was great. Being on campus and in the flow of student life on campus it is so easy to get stuck in this bubble of campus and student life and not really see the outside world. That is why it is always best to be able to balance your time between your social life and your school life. You need to always leave time for something more than school work and the normal going out of a weekend night. I think that has been one of the hardest things here being able to balance the parts of life with the option of doing so much in Washington D.C.
