Things to do in downtown Madison

Hey everyone!
I decided that I would write about some fun things to do in case  yourself in downtown Madison one days! Here are my top 3:
1. State Street
This is the main area where college students go to grab a bite to eat before heading over to the library, have fun at the bars, or take a little shopping break at the Urban Outfitters store. Filled with small boutiques, shops, restaurants, State Street is perfect for walking on a nice sunny day and exploring the many places it has to offer.

2. The Overture Center
Also located on State Street, the Overture Center hosts many plays and student performances all year-long, in a gorgeous building that will leave you in awe. Last year, I attended a performance of the play Rent here, and it was spectacular.

3. Memorial Union
Not only does the Union have delicious ice cream made from milk from native Wisconsin cows, but it is also host to dozens of performances and dance parties on its Terrace overlooking the lake. During the summer, the Union is the place to go to listen to live music and drink some good, old-fashioned Wisconsin beer.
On Wisconsin!

I hate Wisconsin weather.

Hello again internet peoples.

I would just like to take the time to say that weather in Wisconsin, especially Madison, in winter, is like walking through arctic hell and no person should have to experience this on a daily basis. And of course, one day there will be a ridiculous blizzard (like last week), and the next day it will be sunny and 50 degrees, with everyone walking around without their jackets. And then the next week will be another blizzard-y hell (like today). And if you're a college student at UW-Madison like me, you know what it's like to half to walk in that gross, grey slush that is lying around everywhere and having to get your perfectly nice boots all sopping wet and muddy, all the while rushing to make it to your next class. All I can say is that I am never again wearing Ugg boots in this weather and I will have to resort to buying those unattractive (in my opinion) rubber rainboots that many females around campus seem to be wearing nowadays. Oh, and don't get me started on the ten mile per hour winds that blow in your face, messing up your hair and ruining any attempt you might have made that day to look halfway decent. Because of these traumatizing experiences I have had recently, I will most definitely be moving to California or New Mexico ASAP. And yes, I know that's what practially everyone from the Midwest says, but they have a point.

See you in San Francisco!
