7 Places In The Twin Cities To Get The Perfect Summer Picture
Kris Kreativ

Summer 2017 is officially here! Whether you're in middle school or a college graduate, you're always going to be looking for the picture-perfect place for seflies and Instagram-worthy pictures. With that, here are the seven best spots around the cities for any type of picture.

1. Minneapolis Wall Crawl

Pictured above, the "I Like You" wall, is one of the many, many murals across Minneapolis. Take an afternoon to go around the city and find as many murals as you can, and be sure to take the most beautiful pictures!

2. Guthrie Theater

Whether you're a theater nerd or not, the Guthrie Theater has something everyone will enjoy: the view. Take a step into the gorgeously yellow box on the outside of the theater to enjoy beautiful views of Minneapolis, while taking spectacular selfies.

3. Stone Arch Bridge

Stone Arch is one of the most breathtaking places around the cities to take a photo. Walk across the bridge to see Saint Anthony Falls, Mill Ruins Park, and Gold Medal Park--all great places for pictures! Stop by Izzy's Ice Cream for the most beautiful, Instagram-worthy shot of ice cream.

4. Witches Hat Water Tower

Now, here's where to get the best view of Minneapolis. Witches Hat Water Tower is an eerie, yet gorgeous place to see the whole city. Only a twenty-minute walk from the University of Minnesota, this is the perfect spot for students to take stunning pictures.

5. Black: Coffee and Waffle Bar

Instead of looking for the perfect selfie, though the Black Coffee and Waffle Bar mural is perfect for a picture with friends, the waffles and latte art are seriously picture-perfect (and they are mighty tasty!)

6. Como Park Zoo and Conservatory

One of the most aesthetically-pleasing parts of Como Zoo is the conservatory, which is home to thousands of colorfully stunning flowers and plants. Again, maybe the conservatory is not an ideal place for selfies, but it is beautiful for close-up flower photos.

7. Mickey's Diner

So, you're in the mood for some lunch and possibly looking to take some retro pictures? Well, you're in luck. Stop by Mickey's in St. Paul to get a delicious burger and shake while taking the cutest retro pics. Also, Mickey's is open 24 hours! That means, say, if you're really bored during ungodly hours of the night, it's time for a photoshoot.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
