Burlington Living

Hello Summertime!

It’s been way too long since I’ve blogged, but my apartment in downtown Burlington couldn’t get internet for a while because Comcast was so busy. The great thing is I have hot water and internet now and can keep ya’ll updated about living in Burlington for the summer!

This summer I got a job at a summer camp at Petra Cliffs climbing gym so I will be taking camper’s rock climbing, kayaking, sailing, and caving! I just started training and camp starts officially Monday! I’m really excited for all the activities I get to do and the other students I’m working with! I will keep you posted about fun things I do around the Burlington area!



Living downtown is a lot different from living on campus or at home, both of which I’ve done in the summer before. Downtown living means getting to walk everywhere, cooking all my meals, and getting to really live independently. It’s going to be practice for living in the 300’s townhouses next year. For seniors on campus at SMC they can live in townhouses. The townhouses include living room full kitchen and mostly single bedrooms. A lot of seniors end up taking themselves off the meal plan and cook all their meals. I love cooking so I’m excited to get to cook for myself and my house-mates.

Burlington has so much going on in the summer time and is a fun place to walk around and explore. I plan on trying some new restaurants and finding great spots to relax or people watch. So stay tuned for summer adventures in Burlington!
