8 Dates That Are Great For The Winter In St. Louis

c1.staticflickr.com

Need a date idea for the harsh winter in St. Louis? Here are eight of them!

1. Ice Skating at Steinberg Skating Rink

This is one of the most popular activities in the St. Louis area in the winter. The rink is in Forest park and is one of the BIGGEST outdoor rinks in the Midwest. YAY St. Louis for achieving something!!! I can't think of a better date with an SO or a bestie for the restie. After you do a few laps hand-in-hand, you can head inside to warm up with hot chocolate. And spill it on yourself if you're like me. Great first impression, am I right?

2. Sledding

There are so many great places to go sledding in the wonderful city. Art Hill in Forrest Park is perhaps the most ell known, but there is also Blanchette Park, the dam at Lake St. Louis, Suson Park, and Bluebird Park. Sledding is just fun no matter how old you are.

3. Watching bald eagles

Missouri is the perfect place for watching these beautiful creatures. Head over to the Chain of Rocks Bridge to watch them perch along the water. A fun fact for yourself today is that Bald Eagles mate FOR LIFE! Name a better thing to witness while on a date! For all you college students out there, this one is FREEEEE!!! You can also meet an eagle at the Alton Visitor Cnter on Saturdays.

4. Winter Wonderland at Tilles Park

This place gets pretty hectic, but the massive amounts of overwhelming and bright as H*** lights make up for it. If you're not one who particularly enjoys children, maybe stay away from this one.

5. The St. Louis zoo

This option does cost... boooo from the college students!!!! but, it is only $10 or less each day. The lights that the zoo are beautiful and magical and make for great pictures. Spending hours outside in the winter does get really cold, so this is a perfect time to wrap up in your SO's arms and get all nice and toasty with a hot cocoa (with Rum Chata if that's what floats your boat). In fact, this is where my boyfriend and I had our first date! Somehow, we're even still together. If you get there during the day, you can even watch the cute little penguins march through the zoo. HOW CUTE!!!!!

6. Slam Underground

The Saint Louis Art Museum offers a free music series on the last Friday of every month. I mean... its FREE!!! who doesnt like free? Especially FREE MUSIC!!! You do have to have a ticket to get in, but again, they are FREE and near the information desk at the entrance. This one is especially a nice option because if the first date is not going well, you can just ignore each other and enjoy the music. It's a win-win!!

7. Tubing, Skiing, and Snowboarding

Hidden valley is rather expensive, but is such a thrilling place. This place is especially great because St, Louis is not known for its incredible snow falls. At Hidden Valley, there's ALWAYS good snow. If you do chose to partake in any of these activities, make sure you wear waterproof clothing. I may or may not have made this mistake one... or twice.

8. Lights at the Anheuser Busch Brewery

There are self guided light tours, live music, food, and BEER!!! FREE BEER!!!! Who doesn't like free beer?! And I guess Christmas lights?

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
