So what to do on the weekends?
We are in Waco, Texas, so what is there to do on the weekends you ask? This question has been stumping Baylor student for years. Thankfully, these same students decided that they must come up with something. So, after aimlessly driving around the streets of Waco, it was discovered.
Starplex Galaxy 16 on South Valley Mills is the “happening” movie theater in Waco. There is nothing like grabbing all your friends and hopping into the car for a movie night, whether it is taking that boy you like to a scary movie or your new best friends to a chick flick. But what do you do after the movie?
Tortilla Tossing is a great Baylor tradition. Although it has nothing to do with the University itself, it is something Baylor students have been doing for years. The suspension bridge by the Hilton is not only known for formal pictures, but also for this fun activity. Grab your friends, a car, and a TON of tortillas! Once on the bridge, you and your friends can toss your tortillas, like a frisbee, onto the cement pillars in the water. These are flat, so if your tortilla lands on them, it has been said that those who make it will get married and live happily ever after and those who don’t, well, not so much. After all, your tortillas are either in the water being fed to the ducks or on the pillar. You must tie your bag to the bridge and then take lots fun pictures with your friends.
The last piece of advice on your weekend fun in Waco concerns where to eat. Many students enjoy Katie’s Custard on Valley Mills, known for their ice cream and shakes. Another tasty place is the Czech Stop a little outside of Waco--about 25 minutes--where you can find some of the best authentic “kolaches.” The last and most recent hot spot is 3 Spoons Yogurt. With a cute slogan like “Come Spoon with Us!” why wouldn’t you go there? It’s cute and cozy and is thought to be among the best yogurt shops by Baylor students.
