Today is Monday and life is back to normal. We now are attending classes and eating the notorious dining hall food. However, this past weekend we were able to to get out of our daily routine of life and spend time with our families. Family weekend was such a refreshing weekend, for me at least. I had not seen my family since fall break like many students at the University. Spending time with my family was a great way to de-stress from the daunting midterms and to enjoy my time with people I love. While spending time with my family, I was also able to explore Charlottesville more. I finally was able to go downtown and see what that scene was all about. The downtown mall is so cute and has a personality of its own. Since, I have been at UVA, I have not really explored Charlottesville all that much. To be quite honest, it is easy to forget that UVA lies within a city and that UVA is not its own town. With our own dining facilities, gyms and recreational events, there is no need to really wonder outside the skirts of UVA. However, it is a great way to get out of a monotonous routine and become more aware of the city we are newly apart of. Although the University of Virginia is surely a great place to spend one's time, the city of Charlottesville also has a lot to offer!
