Thank you, Bethlehem
A Lehigh student’s end-of-semester ritual: a walk down the hills to the Southside, a stop at a familiar café and gratitude for the small moments that make Bethlehem feel like home.
The writer shares an end-of-semester tradition of leaving their apartment during finals week to walk down the hills to Bethlehem’s Southside. They begin at a favorite café, laughing with a barista who knows their order — a large latte with whole milk — and reflects on the community moments that sustain campus life.
