Golf At The Galleries Is The Coolest St. Louis Summer Activity

The second floor of the Sheldon Concert Hall and Art Galleries in St. Louis has a very interesting exhibit running right now. The exhibit is called Golf at the Galleries and showcases artist designed mini golf. The pieces are even playable and were created by artists, architects and other creators.

It runs until August 12. It is $10 for adults, $6 for kids 12 and under, and if you're a US Bank cardholder you get $2 off each admission! It might be a drive, but it's seriously worth it.

This event is family friendly and accessible. I went with my boyfriend and we had a wonderful time, it is truly fun for all ages. It's also air conditioned, which makes it perfect for these hot summer days!

There were 9 holes total, each was set in its own room. The experience was immersive, each hole took up its entire room and there was supplemental art on the walls and around the installations to add to the experience

My boyfriend's favorite was "Distortion" by Arcturis, a half pipe with a mirrored ceiling. It was by far the most difficult of all the holes - neither my boyfriend nor I actually completed it.

I preferred Justin King's "Serengeti Park", which was made entirely out of cardboard. It has animals like an towering elephant, a fox having a picnic, and a chimpanzee sitting on a bench you could take selfies with. While it was not particularly challenging as a mini golf hole, it was pretty straight forward. The cardboard animal statues were cute and made for a great photo opportunity.

Another hole I liked was called "The Gateway Green – A Hole-in-One for STL" By Switch. It was a model of the new Gateway Arch grounds as well as the old courthouse and Kiener Plaza.

I really enjoyed the creativity put into the works, they were all different and had their own unique challenges. It was definitely a great experience and not quite your everyday activity. It had a fun spin on your average mini golf outing. I highly recommend checking it out, you'll thank me later.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
