Being a citizen of St.Louis has only proven how truly diverse it can be, yet we can all come together as a community for events in celebrations. Here are some Summer Events to keep you occupied, even if you reside on the other side of the Mississippi.

1. Shakespeare Festival

Though I have not been to the Shakespeare Festival, I've heard many positive things about it. Located in Forest Park, talented performers will encompass you in some of Shakespeare's classics. The event is free and bringing blankets, chairs, food, and drinks is encouraged. For my information, visit: http://www.sfstl.com/

2. Pride Fest

Pride Fest is a yearly celebration of gay, lesbian, and transgender culture. The parade is lively and features floats and twenty hours of music containing: pop, disco, jazz, country, rock, and rap. For more information, visit: https://pridestl.org/

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
