10 Ways To Make The Most Of Your 2020 Summer If You Live In Branson, MO

@explorebranson on Instagram

1. Go boating on Table Rock Lake

Table Rock Lake is one of the cleanest lakes in North America. It is the perfect summer go-to on a hot, sunny day. State Park Marina is a great place to rent a boat. They have everything: speed boats, pontoons, yachts, tubes, boats with slides, etc. You are sure to have a blast on TRL.

2. Eat at Mel's Hard Luck Diner

This is my absolute favorite restaurant in Branson. Mel's is a cute diner with singing servers. The servers all have amazing voices and the food is to die for. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves to eat and be entertained.

3. Visit Silver Dollar City

Silver Dollar City is one of my favorite attractions. Not only do they have fun rollercoasters, they have amazing food and spectacular shows as well! Not to mention the talented workmanship that is on display.

4. Visit White Water

Associated with Silver Dollar City, White Water is a super fun, family friendly water park. This water park is awesome for all ages. The kiddos can enjoy Splashaway Cay and Coconut Cove. The bigger kids (and adults) can enjoy Pipeline Plunge, Wakiki Wave, and much more. Don't forget the wave pool!

5. Ride the Track go-carts on the main strip (Highway 76)

With 5 Track courses to choose from, you are sure to have a fun time! I highly suggest the Heavy Metal High-rise.

6. Ride the big Ferris wheel

This is a great attraction to go to at night. The Ferris wheel has beautiful lights that are sure to impress.

7. Play some mini golf

With over 5 mini golf courses, there is something for everyone! There are pirate ones, dinosaur ones, plane crash ones, etc.

8. Go shopping at the Landing and the Tanger Outlets

Shopping is always a must. Between the Landing and the Tanger Outlets, there is a store for everything.

9. Visit the Hollywood Wax Museum

The Hollywood Was Museum is soooo crazy. The wax figures are so realistic that it's scary. Definitely worth the money.

10. Visit the Titanic Museum

This attraction is absolutely phenomenal. The owners did such a good job with honoring the people associated with the Titanic, dead and alive. This attraction is a beautiful tribute to the beautiful ship that once sailed our seas.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

1193

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
