Looking for a way to procrastinate just a little bit longer? Or, better yet, take a break from the library for a couple of hours? Well, Milwaukee has tons of spots to crash off-campus to keep you sane going into finals.

Over 21 and looking for something out of the ordinary to celebrate your last few weekends in Milwaukee? Head over to Cans for their huge Beer Pong Tournament. If you have the skills, you and your partner could compete to win a trip to Las Vegas to participate in the World Series of Beer Pong. Just a heads up, in competitive play, there’s only water in the cups. If you want to drink, you still have to start a tab like the rest of the world.

Looking for something a little more low-key than beer pong? No sweat. There are plenty of coffee joints to keep your inner java-head satisfied. Alterra on the Lake is a great way to leave campus and enjoy one of the best natural resources Milwaukee can offer. Mocha on Plankinton is a great place to go for something other than the Brew or Starbucks (they have great muffins).
If you feel in the mood for something a little different, try Rochambo on the East Side. A little bit quirky, this fun place is full of good times. Want to help a cause while you sip? Try out Coffee with a Conscience. All of these places are great alternatives to campus coffee joints and you can take your friends off-campus to enjoy some joe.

Looking for something to break the monotonous studying during the day? Check out the Domes. Just on the other side of the 27th Street bridge, they offer a variety of vegetation in their three different biodomes. Admission is free on Mondays from 9 a.m. to noon with proof of residency, and with your student ID, it’s only $4.00 every other time.

If all else fails, just take a walk around. Go down to the River Walk and meander up and down the Milwaukee River. Enjoy the lakefront. No matter what, try not to stress out too much. You are only in college once. Take advantage of the spring weather and all the fun things around Milwaukee before the year is done.
