Camden Winton Student Contributor, Cal Poly State University - San Luis Obispo
This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Cal Poly chapter and does not reflect the views of Her Campus.
  1. HIKE. Please take advantage of being in a hike-heavy area. There are so many beautiful spots in slo (Madonna, Bluff Trail, Montana de Oro, Bishop’s Peak, etc) 
  2. Do a bonfire on Grover Beach and dance with the crowd at the restaurant nearby
  3. Sneak into the Avila hot tubs … or the hot springs!
  4. Go to jazz night on Wednesdays at Sidecar (once you’re 21, of course)
  5. Go to the farmers market (duh) and get honey, almond butter, fresh fruit, and beignets…
  6. Try Tiny Cafe and Lincoln Deli on a Saturday morning
  7. Lay out on dexter lawn more. Interact with the clubs, take a nap, read a book
  8. Get the cinnamon rolls in Pismo. Do it please 
  9. Go to Shabang, go to concerts, go go go 
  10. Have a party in MDO in the sand dunes 

Make sure you set aside time to do these things or you will regret it…
