One of the best things about studying in Adelaide is that there is ample opportunity to spend your weekends doing whatever you would like to do. A typical weekend for me during a uni term involves relaxing, working, studying and partying.
A typical Thursday night sees many uni students going out to one of the 4 busy pubs to enjoy the week nearly been over, cheap food and even cheaper drinks. Its rarely a late night as most of us need to get up early the next day for tutes and lectures.
As friday nears to a close, Adelaide seems to have a feel of excitement about it. i don't know whether its just sheer exhaustion from yet another busy week being over or anticipation of what the weekend will bring. My favourite way to spend a friday night is heading to the central markets for the freshest cheap food, local music and happy faces. there is always new foods to try and people to talk to.
If i am lucky and have Saturday off work i love getting some close friends together putting our surf boards on the car and head down south to check the waves for a fun filled day of surfing. Its the perfect way to spend a sunny day and if its freezing (which in winter is more often than not) hopefully the waves are awesome so you haven't wasted your time!
Saturday nights are best spent making your way around town catching up with friends and enjoying life. whether it be the East End of town or the West End many pubs have live music and great areas to enjoy a dance. As Adelaide is such a small town you are more than likely to catch up with friends that you haven't seen for ages and make new friends at the same time!
Sundays for me is usually work and study and catching up on some much needed sleep.
so there you have it.. a typical weekend in Adelaide summed up in a few sentences. there is so much to see and do.. and do again... if you have a sense of adventure and want to have a good time!
