Almost everyone who went to public school in Saint Peter has visited this historical landmark on a field trip. This was the home of one of the first settlers in Saint Peter, Eugene Saint Julien, who was also the first mayor of the town. If you have a couple of hours, come and tour this gothic style home with decor from the actual original owners and time period. You will be glad you did!

2. Patrick’s on Third

A locally owned bar and restaurant, this is my Grandma’s favorite place Their food is delicious! I very much recommend the western burger, or basically anything else. Also, they have bar trivia on Tuesday nights. Stop by, and you might win some free beer.

3. Go thrifting/antique shopping

If you walk down Minnesota Avenue for an afternoon, you will find a handful (that is a lot for Saint Peter) of adorable antique shops and thrift stores. One of my favorites is Playing Possum, and there are plenty of other places where you can find some real gems. There are also a lot of cute boutiques and a fair trade store on Main Street.

4. Go bowling!

If you have a night free, bring a group of friends,or a date, and make your way over to KingPins. They have pizza as well, so you get food and fun all in one place!

5. Grab a coffee

River Rock Coffee in downtown Saint Peter is the. Best. Coffee. Shop. Ever. The baristas are very friendly and anything you get there will be amazing. I strongly recommend the caramel latte and banana bread. This coffee shop is highly approved by my beautiful grandma (pictured above.)

6. Take a nature walk

Especially if you are a student, you should know about the Linnaeus Arboretum. It is a gorgeous place to just appreciate being in nature. There are trails, as well as places to sit and hang out. If you are looking for the perfect place to take photos, the Arb is a very photogenic place. (I took my prom photos there!) Plus, let’s be honest, GAC is one of the most intriguing things about Saint Peter.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
