120 Minutes in Boston
120 (trying to keep warm) in Boston.
It is freezing outside! Being from Florida, I tend to over react to the dropping temperature. In October, I break out my down jacket for temperatures in the low 50's when my friends are wearing windbreakers. However, winter weather is here! While it is so easy to want to stay inside there are a lot of ways to keep warm and have fun in the city.
I recently saw this article on Boston.com that offered 17 great suggestions.
Do one a week and it will keep you warm until early spring.
Enjoy!
120 Minutes (road trips from) Boston
This week's post is dedicated to the places you can go to outside of Boston in less than 120 minutes. On Saturday, I went to visit my friend at Amherst for homecoming. Thanks to the Peter Pan bus I was able to leave in the morning and two hours later be in the stands for halftime.
Besides Western Mass, there are lots of destinations outside of the city. Providence, Rhode Island is a fun city to explore and since it is accessible by the commuter rail it can be a great day trip. Also on the commuter rail is Salem.
While it might take more than 120 minutes New York City is an easy trip with Mega Bus and Bolt Bus. The tickets run from as cheap as $1 to $40.
Next time you have a long weekend why not venture outside of Boston?

The frozen yogurt trend is here to stay! Boston just added another to the collection of stores. Pinkberry! Made famous by celeb customers likes Lauren Conrad and Taylor Swift, the store is now open on 288 Newbury St.
Since Pinkberry is a sponsor of Her Campus, my friend and I worked at the opening event. We got endless free samples of their six flavors- original, pomegranate, chocolate, mango, coconut, and pumpkin! My favorite was the Pumpkin.
Even though it is no longer the ideal weather for frozen yogurt, Pinkberry is worth a visit.
Be sure to check out the Her Campus Simmons article about other frozen yogurt shops in the area.
