If you have ever been to Springfield, Missouri you know that it is a lot bigger than people let on. It's big and yet everything is still very close. So many fun things to do within this city that has recently been voted as the best college city in Missouri! (Reviews.org)

I have asked my social media followers again to let me know what their favorite thing to do Springy is. Again with the help that I have received I have came up with another fun list for you all. A top 5 for Springfield activities. Do ya'll agree?

5. Game Day

So many schools and their sports teams are here in Springfield, Missouri. One top favorite that happens not be a college team are the Springfield Cardinals. This minor leagues team is a perfect place to take the family and friends. Another place would be the MSU boys basketball games. Plus so many more to choose from.

4. JQH Events

Living right next to the MSU campus I can certainly believe that this one is in the top 5. How can you not with all of the traffic rushing in to see their favorite artist, rodeo shows, car shows, and more!

Everyone always seems so happy when they walk out with those big smiles. They know they had a memorable night with the family or friends. No doubt the JQH arena can serve up some fun events.

3. Mudhouse

An amazing little place lots of students and others love to go to get some work done is Mudhouse. Choose your drink and have a coffee house feel like none other. Relax and stay focused all at the same time. Study date? Haven't seen your friends in a while, a Saturday business day; then go to Mudhouse.

2. Wonders of Wildlife National Museum & Aquarium

Although I have not been here myself, I have heard amazing things. One of my friends got the opportunity to work the opening night. Ever since with more and more people who go, I hear nothing but greatness.

Babysitters are taking the children here to learn and see something new. The beauty and aww this place gives to the Springfield community is amazing. Great addition I know so many of us can appreciate.

1. Clubbing

Downtown Springfield clubs/bars, along with the others across town, are popping every weekend. So many to choose from like Social, PBar, Trops, Boogie, Zan, Friends, Club Rodeo, and more.

A night out with friends is always more fun when you get to do some karaoke, dancing, and staying up past your normal bedtime. People even bring their wedding parties, have their formals, and alumni events at some of these locations. Entertainment will always be something we look for, and these places never disappoint.

If you're bored of the same old things you do every weekend, then try spicing some things up with this list of activities. You never know which one might just become your favorite. Find a whole in the wall we should all know about? Don't be afraid to share with your friends and family. Who knows, it could become the next best thing Springy has to offer.

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

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.
