Do you ever get caught up in the hustle and bustle of just getting to class? Making sure you leave your house on time, making sure you have your books and laptop, trying to avoid traffic, finding a parking place, racing to your building. Well, I do. I realized lately that during the school year…

Burgers and Ping Pong- The Perfect Combination?
This decision is left to you. And it is going to be easier to decide than you originally thought. HōM, a new restaurant opening on King Street, is both a burger boutique and a ping pong lounge. It has creative burgers, from ground beef to fresh portabello mushrooms, and they are made with locally…
Great Veggies Without The Heat
Now that we’re in the full swing of Charleston summer, we are all experiencing just how hot and humid this area really is. You can’t even walk outside without your sunglasses fogging up and breaking a minor (or major) sweat. For some, it can be unbearable, for others, it means beach weather. However, the thought…
Laughter Is Good For The Soul
Their tagline- where boredom goes to die! This is quite a bold statement for Theater 99, right? But from my experience, this improv theater has fulfilled its promise. Cast members create original, comedic skits every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights. Even the different names of groups are funny- Mary Kay has a Posse and the…
SOAR 5K
This Saturday, July 9th, is an excellent opportunity to both get some exercise and to be an example for people with special needs.

However, on the last Saturday of every month, Lowcountry residents have the chance to either watch or attempt a water sport at Carolina Watersports’ WakeFest. Held at Trophy Lake…
Thirsty Thursdays
What could be better than $1 beers? Drinking those $1 beers on Thirsty Thursdays at the Joe Riley Stadium with good friends, the friendly Charlie T. Riverdog mascot, and most importantly, good hotdogs. The Charleston RiverDogs, a Class A New York Yankees affiliate, is home to many unique hot dogs. The “Asian Invasion” has soy…
Happy Summer Solstice!
Scientifically, the Summer Solstice occurs when the Earth’s and the moon’s axial tilt is most inclined toward the sun. The Summer Solstice also has the longest day and the shortest night of the year. In laymen’s terms, however, it denotes the first day of summer. In other parts of the country, it may just be…
The Plight of Finding a Coffee Shop
I’m sure you are all familiar with Starbucks and likely have one or two drinks that you are willing to pay an exorbitant amount of money for. I love their Frappuccinos, and I try to justify the caloric content by getting the “skinny option.” While these are great treats every once in a while, I…
