Missouri is a very interesting state. There are so many things to do when you are bored. Here are some places that you need to visit when you are in Missouri.

1. St. Louis Gateway Arch

This is probably the top place you want to see when you are in Missouri. The arch represents, "Gateway to the West". When you visit the arch, you can go on an elevator ride, which reaches 630 feet, and get a stunning view of the city.

2. St. Louis Zoo

The St. Louis Zoo is a great place to go with kids and adults. The St. Louis Zoo was named No. 1 in the USA Today Readers Choice Award Contest. The St. Louis Zoo is certainly a full day of fun. The Zoo staff is also very helpful and polite making the experience even better.

3. Forest Park

Forest Park is near the St. Louis Zoo. It is where most people enjoy their picnic lunch after a long day at the zoo. It also has the Muny, Americas oldest and largest outdoor musical theater. Other attractions found in Forest Park are : The Art Museum, The Boat House, and The History Museum. Such a beautiful place to go.

4. City Museum

The city museum was made by artists Bob and Gail Cassilly. They acquired a 10-story 600,000 square foot former shoe company warehouse in Downtown St. Louis and turned it into a "city within a city". It is such a fun place to go to explore and ride the ferris wheel to see the city from a stunning view of the city.

5. National World War I Museum and Memorial

This a great place to visit just because of its history. With more than 75,000 historical items on display, the information is endless.

6. Grant's Farm

Looking for a fun and exciting place for the kids to play? This is just the place for you. Grant's Farm is a 281-acre historic farm and landmark. With hundreds of things to do like feeding animals, ride camels, and see animal shows; it will be a full day of entertainment for all ages.

7. Meramec Caverns

Want an adventure filled with history? This is something you have to do when you come to Missouri. Meramec Caverns is a 4.6-mile cavern system ( largest cave in Missouri ) that the tourist walk through. Don't forget your jacket! The caves are very chilly.

8. Wonders of Wildlife Museum

This is just an amazing place to see wildlife. This is one of the world's largest exhibitions of wild animals and their habitats. Fun day for the little ones.

9. The Magic House

This is one of my favorites! The Magic House was once an abandoned Victorian mansion. It now stands as the region's first interactive children's museum. It will take you days to tour the whole museum!

10. St. Louis Science Center

This is one of the biggest attractions in St. Louis, MO. The Science Center is one of the only free nonprofit science museums in the country. With over 700 interactive activities, the day will be filled with fun!

There are so many more attractions to visit when you are in Missouri. These were just some of my favorites. I hope that when you visit, your day is filled with fun experiences.

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

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

SUNY Binghamton

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!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.
