The Short List Of Places To Visit In Saint Louis

Saint Louis, Missouri is what most people would consider "flyover country". However, it is actually pretty nice here and we just won the Stanley Cup so to many we have been put on the map. I could go on and on about all the places to visit and food to eat but that would probably bore many. So I have come up with a condensed list of seven that covers most of the bases.

1. Ted Drewes Frozen Custard

Celebrities from all over have come to try this world famous ice cream. The custard is so thick that you can hold your cup upside down and it won't fall out. Seriously amazing. My favorite is the Smores concrete.

2. The Arch

Ok duh. I would say if you have never been to the top and you never plan to come back to Saint Louis ever again do it. But really if you don't you're not missing out on a lot. It's a very cool view but the Arch grounds itself is nice to just walk around and explore.

3. Tropical Moose Shaved Ice

If you are here in the summer this is a must do. They have tons of flavors and you can mix as many as you like. My favorite is Pink Champagne Fizz with nerds.

4. Forest Park

The bigger, better Central Park...yes I said it. The Zoo is free and amazing, Art Hill is a perfect spot for a picnic, the Boathouse offers kayaks and paddleboats for rental, there are two golf courses, the Muny (an outdoor live theater), and honestly so many other things to discover for yourself. It's beautiful and most of it is free so it is a perfect way to spend a nice day outside.

5. So Many Amazing Restaurants I Can't Name Them All

I am not exaggerating. There are so many different restaurants that must be tried when visiting Saint Louis it probably can't be done in a couple days.

6. Imos Pizza

Saint Louis style pizza. It's delicious. Just don't knock it until you try it.

7. Toasted Ravioli

Fried ravioli. Seriously...amazing.

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.
