Whether you’re a foodie, a music lover or just looking to enjoy Baltimore’s neighborhoods, this weekend has plenty to offer. From oyster feasts to Oktoberfest celebrations, the city is buzzing with events that cater to all tastes. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s in store.
It’s only the second week of classes, and the typical Hopkins experience of “staying up to study” has already become an integral aspect of my daily routine. But no late-night study session (read: watching Valorant streams with my roommates and attempting not to cry over my courseload) is complete without the right late-night munchies. After all, everyone gets hungry when they stay up too late.
Whether you’re looking to enjoy the crisp fall air at a local festival, groove to live music or indulge in a classic Maryland crab feast, this weekend offers plenty of opportunities to create unforgettable memories. Here’s a roundup of what’s happening around the city.
Over the Labor Day weekend, my roommates and I took advantage of one of those last shorts-and-tank-top days, wrapping up summer with a day in Ellicott City. This little trip was the perfect blend of old-world charm and modern-day delights, from strolling down historic Main Street to indulging in some seriously good Korean BBQ — there’s just so much to enjoy here.
Welcome back to school and happy Labor Day!
Every college student chases after this arbitrary thing called freedom. To some, it means to study whatever they want. To others, it means to say “screw it” and go to Coachella in the middle of the semester. But for me, it looks more like what Chris McCandless did in Into the Wild — to buy a beat-up car after college, sell everything else he owns and vanish into a long road trip into the wilderness. Well (SPOILER ALERT), maybe minus the dying in Alaska part.
Located in Hampden, Catalog Coffee could be your new favorite cafe spot! Upon entering, the earthy green atmosphere and ornaments of succulents throughout the shop create a welcoming and hospitable environment for customers. Soft but lively music plays in the background, complementing the servers grazing from table to table handing out orders and creating a bustling and cheery environment.
As the semester draws to a close, organizations and universities in Baltimore are hosting an array of exciting events to end things on a high note. Let’s finish strong and celebrate the upcoming summer break in style!
There is only one week of school left! Enjoy the beautiful weather with relaxing events around the city before the final push of the semester.
Let’s set the scene: the sun begins shining a bit brighter each day, and the temperature climbs to a nice 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Sidewalks are no longer riddled with ice, and the once bare trees are now covered with lush green leaves. As cities awaken from their winter slumbers, so do runners. The longer daylight hours invite runners to lace up their shoes and find rhythm in their feet once again.
Spring is in its full bloom! As the weather gets warmer and warmer, make sure that you get out of your room and the Hopkins bubble, whether that’s supporting the Orioles or doing yoga.
Did you know that Annapolis, Maryland was the first capital of the United States? In fact, the Treaty of Paris — the same treaty that ended the Revolutionary War — was signed in the Senate Chamber of the Maryland State House in Annapolis. The history and significance of this beautiful city were unbeknownst to me until I moved next door. Although Maryland’s capital is just 45 minutes away from Hopkins, many students don’t know what it has to offer. Between the views of the Chesapeake Bay to the delicious seafood available, Annapolis is an amazing place to visit for a mini trip away from school!
I never played any games growing up. I didn’t have a Playstation or an Xbox, nor Wii or other Nintendo products. The closest I got were the ipad games like Clash of Clans and the free version of Minecraft that didn’t allow you to save your progress. I mostly just played basketball outside.
There are just a few more weeks left of school, and the wrapping up of classes means the full bloom of spring! As the weather gets warmer, Baltimore starts booming with events.
After the onslaught of tests, quizzes, midterms, projects and whatever else our professors decided to throw at us, spring break was upon us. With most Hopkins students leaving as early as possible, it was like a great migration of birds, all leaving towards the south, where you would see them appear in instagram pictures of the warm sandy beaches of Florida, Puerto Rico or other tropical resorts.
This spring break, the two of us (along with our roommate, Liz) went to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil! This trip had been a while in the making, and we were really looking forward to it. Rio is Julia’s hometown — she was born there and only moved to the U.S. for college, so it’s where she’s spent most of her life. Yana had never been there before but was really excited to see the place where Julia grew up!
As spring takes hold in D.C. and Maryland, the cherry blossoms burst into life, splashing the city in pinks and whites. Sure, it might sound cliché, but let me take you through my own cherry blossom chase, complete with the lowdown on some great food finds along the way. I hope this helps you plan your own spring escapade!
Welcome back from Spring Break! Perhaps you need a break from the past week of partying and traveling. Make sure to check out a series of wholesome events around the city over Easter weekend!
One of the best perks of attending Hopkins is the free, daily access to our state-of-the-art recreation center. And, after their recent renewals, there’s no better time than the present to check out the Ralph S. O’Connor Recreation Center. With new features in the weight room, a number of different workout classes and even a pool and climbing wall, it’s the perfect place to start your day. Work on those muscles and release some pent-up stress and head over.
If you are staying near Baltimore over Spring Break, here are a few things to help you keep busy, stay entertained and relieve some stress to prepare for the final stretch of this semester!
