New Haven Resturants

Last weekend was very exciting for me.  It all started Friday when I got the day off from volleyball my roommate and I went on a little adventure to downtown New Haven.  Since it was a nice day, we decided to walk rather than taking the Yale Shuttle.  Plus, we knew we were going to eat a lot so we needed the exercise. 

The first place we stopped at was Noodle House; it is located on York Street.  We both ordered our favorite, spicy glass noodles with chicken and shrimp.  If you love noodles as much as we do, you will not be disappointed.  If you are not into spicy foods, I would suggest ordering their fried rice with teriyaki chicken. 

 

 

After eating there, we went and got dessert at Froyo World.  For those of you who do not know what Froyo World is, it is a place where you can get frozen yogurt.  It is absolutely delicious.  I am an original tart type of girl, but they have all different types of flavors you can choose from.  For example, vanilla, cake batter, banana split, mango and dark chocolate.  Once you choose your flavor you can go to the topping bar.  There is a variety of fruits, cereals, sprinkles, and many other types of toppings.  I usually get white chocolate chips, strawberries, bananas, kiwi, blueberries, cookie dough bites, and a little bit of fruity pebbles.  I could legitimately eat that for the rest of my life.  If you are ever on High Street, you have to go there.  Whenever my family or friends come to visit me on campus, I always make them go.    

 

 

Later, when we were done eating, we took the Yale Shuttle back to campus.  The shuttle stop was very close by, so we did not have to walk very far.  We were really happy about that.  Our stomachs were full and there was no way we would have been able to walk up the hill back to campus.  Once we got back to the room we just relaxed, watched a movie and caught up on all of our homework assignments.  It was nice having a day off from classes and practice.  I was able to relax and enjoy myself.  I also, was able to go downtown, which I have been dying to do.  So whenever you have a day off, enjoy it.  After working hard all week, we all deserve a day off. 

Go Falcons!!

The Albertus Magnus College Athletic Team room is a great place to hang out, do homework, and relax before practice or a game.  I am in there very often.  My teammates and I watch our favorite shows and sometimes do Insanity Workouts in there.  I also come in there to do homework from time to time.  There are two computers available for students to use and four tables to sit at and do school work.  It is a nice quiet place to get all of your school work done.  I typically bounce from the leather couch, to the computer, to the table and then back to the couch while doing homework.  I am so glad the Albertus Magnus College Athletics Department renovated this space.  It has been put to good use by all of the sports teams.

Welcome!!
