Words of wisdom from a freshly college-e...
The time has come, and too quickly. These past few months have blurred by, and now it’s time for me to say goodbye to YLakeland. It’s also time to say goodbye to my friends, favorite professors and Florida Southern College. Tomorrow I’ll graduate and leave the world I’ve known for 4 years. Part of me [...]PicMonkey: Fix up your photos and give y...
A week or so ago, I wrote a post about Instagram, the photo-editing software exclusive to Iphones and Androids. If you want cool photo-editing abilities but haven’t joined the smartphone craze yet, check out PicMonkey! PicMonkey is a spinoff of Piknik, which closed this month as the creators moved on to working with Google Plus. [...]Citizen CPR presents the Beat Goes On

One day, two writers were just hanging out together, probably drinking beer and playing Playstation 3. Then, perhaps running out of beer or deciding Halo was boring, they decided to start writing a movie. They had no reason to write it, no studio backers that were urging them on; they just pieced together the plot [...]SPCA 5K raises hope for the animals
The sad fact is, animals are abused and abandoned by their owners every day. Luckily, the SPCA Inc. of Lakeland has been helping these animals by providing shelter, rehabilitation and medical care, and now they’re reaching out to the community with a 5K fundraiser. The 5K is on April 21 around Lake Hollingsworth. The run [...]Gelati Joe’s officially has a website an...

If you’ve been wondering when the new 7-Eleven would start construction, guess what? It has! If you had no idea there was going to be a 7-Eleven but wondered what would happen to the old, shut-down gas station across from Southside Cleaners on South Florida Ave, guess what? It’s going to be a 7-Eleven and [...]Instagram: Billion dollar photo-editing ...
Thanks to surprisingly good-quality camera phones and apps like Instagram, the days of using a dark room or a big fancy camera to take cool photographs are over. Don’t get me wrong, pictures taken with an Iphone usually don’t have the same artistic quality as those taken with high-end digital cameras, but photography is still [...]Just Between Friends consignment sale
Just Between Friends will be having a huge consignment sale from April 13-15 in Sikes Hall at the Lakeland Center.

Check out the sale this [...]Avoid the guilt of dining out: Restauran...
In the last few years, restaurant prices have inched up and wallets have zipped closed, and now dining out has become a sort of rarity. Luckily, lots of places have great lunch and dinner specials that won’t make you hate yourself for the amount of money you’re spending. Here are my favorite daily specials around [...]Urban bike race will speed through Lakel...
“Urban” is a great word, isn’t it? No matter what it’s placed in front of, “urban” always makes a noun seem a little cooler. Urban Outfitters, urban legends, urban dictionary—you get the idea. In this instance, “urban” is making bike races sound cooler for the Urban Mountain Bike Criterium (not that they weren’t cool already!). [...]P.S. by Aeropostale coming to Lakeland S...
P.S. by Aeropostale will be coming soon to the Lakeland Square Mall.

Well, it’s official. With Easter just in the rearview mirror, we have officially entered Spring.

It happens to everyone. You’re sitting there, enjoying your nice, healthy sandwich on whole wheat bread and eating your vegetables, and all of a sudden—bam. You’re craving dessert.

The [...]Samantha Brick says it’s hard to be real...
A British woman named Samantha Brick has recently made a fool of herself in the Daily Mail, and the entire world has stepped up to make fun of her. Brick wrote a truly absurd article about the downsides to being really, ridiculously good-looking. She is so beautiful, Brick says, that men she doesn’t know buy [...]First Friday: Downtown cares!
