Around Town

Abilene is a boring town but the school does have alot of activities here for us.

Outside of campus there's not a whole lot of stuff, that I've done anyway. Getting involved in a church and activities related to that is a great thing to do! Lots of churches in Abilene have great college ministries. There's also a mini golf place, Paramount theatre downtown that shows old movies sometimes, a regular movie theatre, a couple museums, the Abilene Zoo, we have a mall, there's a lake close by, and my favorite activity - going to Oplin! It's the name of a little town not too far away, but also the place lots of people (of all ages, but there's a good college crowd) go to two-step! It's in a cute little renovated gym and live bands play.

On campus there is always something to whether you just want to hang in the POD or down in the basement playing pool, bowing, or all sorts of video games. Also there are always intramural games going on that you can get a team together and compete in.

Hangout with friends, color, read, write, take bathes, and work.

I enjoy spending time in the basement and chatting with friends in the pod. Being an art major, I love spending time in the art building, making art and being around friends.

Lets go Cowboys/Cowgirls. sports here are tons of fun. Also Bowling in the basement, coffee shops, boutiques, prime time, lots of home style restaurants, Sharon's BBQ, Nikki's Swirl Shop, Sharky's, Jason's Deli, Coldstone, Old Navy, Greek life, student councils, volunteering at various organizations in town.

There's a zoo and a coupl of movie theatres but thats about it. I just workout.

There are many student activities going on every week that are always fun to do, but even if the campus gets old, there are tons of things to do in Abilene that are college student budget-friendly.

Most entertainment takes places in the Abilene Civic Center where hosts of Car Shows, Roller Derby, Philharmonic Orchestra, Operas..ect come and go. There are plenty of places to go line dancing or, if your looking for something more modern, night clubs catering to the college crowd. The only mall in town is one story and open for early morning joggers before stores open for the day.

I hang out in the fully. Stocked gaming basement that the school has set up for free. It has computers, the latest gaming Systems, and a bowling alley with ten lanes.
