"The soul is born...first in those moments I told you of. It has a slow and dark birth, more mysterious than the birth of the body. When the soul of a man is born in this country there are nets flung at it to hold it back from flight. You talk to me of nationality, language, religion. I shall try to fly by those nets."

-James Joyce

5 Things to Do This Reading Days If You’re Staying On Campus

Whether you’re on a fall sports team, don’t have a ride home or you’re not looking for a Parents & Family Weekend part two, wlulex has you covered when it comes to Reading Days activities.

1. Bring a Group Apple Picking

Apple picking is on everyone’s fall bucket list. So why not check that off this weekend? Virginia Gold Orchard, Seaman’s Orchard and Morris Orchard are great local destinations all within an hour from campus. Pack your car with a group or just a few friends, and spend the day outside. All three locations are open daily in the morning to late afternoon. Pick a variety of fresh foods from berries, to pears, apples, and pumpkins.

2. Try out Lexington’s Newest Mini-Golf

Did you know Lexington has its very own mini-golf? Neither did we! Lex Lynx Mini-Golf opened its doors this September. This indoor, premier 18-hole mini-golf course is located right in town...less than a 10-minute walk from campus. Challenge your friends and don't forget to ask about Lex Lynx’s new twist on mini-golf: the “dirty eagle.”

3. Volunteer for an Afternoon

Bored of binge-watching and secretly looking for a productive weekend? Spend Reading Days with the Rockbridge Area Habitat for Humanity building and repairing homes. Shifts run Thursday through Saturday in the mornings and afternoons. See the full schedule here.

4. Get “Locked in” With Your Friends

Also new to the Lexington area is Locked In, an escape-room experience. Test your problem solving and detective skills in three different escape-room simulations: Area 51, the Murder Mystery Room and the Prison Break Room. Are you up to the challenge?

Pretty good haul for not planning on buying books. God bless library sales. Even my broke post-uni wallet can handle seven books for three bucks. #bookwormjoys #readingdays #booksarefriends
