Hello World

Greetings people of the internet!  My name is Laila and I’ll be providing you all with some free (or very cheap) things to do in the lovely city of Burlington, Vermont.   

I currently am what one would consider a “broke ass college student,” that is, I have very little money and somehow I’m supposed to make it stretch to cover food, housing, bills, AND my affinity towards Vermont brewed beers.  It’s not easy, but luckily Burlington is a restless city that always has something going on-be it a free concert in the park or one dollar pints until a keg is kicked, you can cure you’re boredom pretty quickly, and you can usually do it for little to no cost.  This blog will give you some tips, tricks, and advice on how to make the most of your college life (or real life..whatever that is)  on an almost invisible budget.

Tip number 1: Make friends.  It seems pretty elementary to say, but friends make everything more fun.  Most of the time it doesn’t really matter what you’re doing with your friends, it just matters that you are doing something together.  The most mundane things can turn into grand adventures if you bring the right people along.   So, go knock on some random door in the dorms, strike up a conversation with your barista, or take your cat on a walk-just get out of your normal habitat and go meet people.

Until next time.
