10 Things To Do In Springfield Missouri This Summer

I have lived in Springfield my entire life and trust me I get bored. If you are ever bored go through this list and you won't be anymore.

1. Firehouse pottery- This place is so fun. You pick whatever piece of pottery you want and paint it however you want and then they fire it and you pick it up in a week or 2.

2. Parks- You can do anything at parks. Eat a meal, walk, play sports, or any other games. Here are a few parks: Nathanial Greene, Phelps Grove, and Busiek State Park.

3. You can make your own team and play sports at different places as well. You could go to Coppers Tennis Complex, Chesterfield Family Center, or the YMCA.

4. Mini golf- One of the least expensive places is Fun Acre. There is also Glow Golf, Swing Right Golf, and Get Away Golf.

5. Wondering Of Wildlife- I have personally never been there but I have been wanting to go and I have heard it is really cool to see.

6. Zoo- The only zoo I know of is the Dickerson Park Zoo and I have been there many times.

7. Springfield Art Museum- This is a fun free place to go to.

8.1984- THis is an arcade in downtown Springfield that I have been to once and it was a lot of fun that time.

9. Fantastic Caverns- This is a cave that I went to every year for school when I was younger.

10. If you are looking to somewhere a little further away there is always Branson. You could do silver dollar city, white water, go carts, mini golf, shopping, etc.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
