PlanAhead | May 7-11
It’s graduation week, and I’m officially freaking out. But now that finals are over + the warm weather has decided to stay, I’ll be spending this week at the pool and trying just about anything new I can find to do in the city of dreams – like Paints and Pints at Columbia Craft or Bierkeller at the Riverfront. Also, The Gamecocks go head-to-head against the Charleston Cougars at Spirit Communications Park this Wednesday; who will you be rooting for?
