<li>exhaust village restaurant options and go to places like hillkroft</li>
<li>galleria</li>
<li>museums, lots of discounted stuff, walking through is free</li>
<li>talks such as president lecture series or from flyers. i saw leebron speak today actually (not president lecture series) about supreme court cases. very good. </li>

Meetings for clubs/college government
SAS night
Watching project runway in the Lovett Commons, or Grey's Anatomy with my freshmen.</p>
