7 Things To Do In Little Rock, Arkansas
Steve Landers

Who said Little Rock is boring? Here is a list of fun places and activities that Arkansas' capital and my hometown, Little Rock, has to offer.

1. Climb Pinnacle Mountain

Cost: Free

Grab a friend and go hike Pinnacle! The view on top is spectacular, and you also get a very good workout.

2. Go To The Old Mill

Cost: Free

The Old Mill is not only famous for its beautiful scenery, but also for being in the opening scene of the classic movie, "Gone With The Wind." It is believed to be the oldest structure shown in the film that is still standing. In 2010, The Old Mill was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.

3. Visit The Clinton Presidential Library


Cost: $10 for adults (18-61), but $8 if you have a valid student ID.

This is a super cool place if you're a history buff like me. It houses the largest collection of presidential papers and artifacts in U.S. history. It also includes a replica of the Oval Office and Cabinet Room. It is only one of fourteen recognized presidential libraries in the country, so take advantage of having one in your city and go visit it.

4. Watch A Baseball Game At Dickey-Stephens Park

Cost: $6 for general admission

Little Rock is home to the Arkansas Travelers, a minor league baseball team that plays at Dickey-Stephens. They have games from May until September.


5. Play At Dave And Buster's

Cost: Varies

At one of Little Rock's newest attractions, Dave and Buster's, you can eat, drink, and play games. It's like a grown-up version of Chuck E. Cheese, and trust me, this place is a whole lot of fun.

6. Go To The Zoo

Cost: $12.95 for adults

The Little Rock Zoo may not be the biggest, but it is home to a lot of amazing animals such as penguins, gorillas, lions, giraffes, and bears. If you are an animal lover, the zoo is a must.

7. Go Skating At Arkansas Skatium

Cost: $13 (includes ice and roller skating with skate rental)

Arkansas Skatium has both ice and roller skating and is sure to be a fun time.


You won't regret checking these places out!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
