Holiday Gas Station

I have this problem where I don't have a coffee maker, yet I have an addiction.

So in order to cure this craving, I go to Holiday gas station every morning and get a steaming cup of coffee.  It is much cheaper than Caribou and Starbucks!

I don't know what I would do without my 2 options of Holiday gas station on my way to class. The 8 a.m. class especially. I am definitely not a morning person!

Fire on Eighth Avenue South

Saturday at 3:25 a.m. the fire department was called to a residence at 520 Eighth Ave. S. where one person was killed and another was injured.

Firefighters attempted to enter the residence but the fire was too fierce and it was too dangerous.

The names of those involved have not yet been leased.  Many residence at neighboring houses can't believe this happened and hate seeing the ruined house everyday when they leave for work and school.

Besides the resident that was killed and the one that was injured, two others resided in the house but were not home when the fire started.

Snap Fitness

I have had a fitness pass for months, yet I have been busy, or just too lazy to get the full worth out of it.  I decided it is about time I get back into shape!

They have a bunch of different machines and equipment to work you as little or as hard as you want to go.  They also have a staff of qualified instructors to help you get into the shape you would like, build some muscle, tone up, or just help lose some weight.  Along with fitness instructions, they also help to tell you how to stay healthy by eating right. Also it is open 24/7!

It's about time to get out of bed, and get fit!

Government Meetings

When most people think of Government meetings, the first things that come to mind are boring, official, and I'd rather not attend.  It is true that some meetings can feel irrelevant to go to, but some can be really interesting and it is good to know about what is going on in our community and what the government is doing to keep everything controlled and a great environment.  I recently did a report on the board of commissioner's meeting for the county of Sartell. Although for a majority of it involved a few yawns and a couple half-eyed head-bobs, there are a couple things I was really interested in such as adding a couple K-9 dogs to the police force because 2 of the dogs were retired, and the addition of four new positions in the Human Relations department.

I would really recommend attending a meeting if you have never done so, and learn what is going on in your community.

If you would like to find when a couple of the meetings are that you would like to attend check them out at http://ci.stcloud.mn.us or search some in other counties as well.

Cherry Berry

In the mood for a tasty treat?  Cherry Berry is the place to be! I love building my own frozen yogurt with all the toppings and different flavors of my choice. From Cheesecake to California Tart, there is no way you could possibly go wrong. Bonus: It is much healthier than ice cream or other deserts you may have and it tastes just as good, if not better in my opinion.  I know the weather is getting a little chilly and a warm hot chocolate may sound a little more appropriate, but trust me, Cherry Berry is the way to go.

They even have a cool traveling trailer that they bring to events! ^^

Located off of 23 right next to Buffalo Wild Wings in St. Cloud, MN. (the store, not the trailer)

Munsinger and Clemens Gardens

Munsinger Gardens, located in St. Cloud, Minn. is a great place to just take a stroll with a friend or a significant other and enjoy the beautiful flowers and nature.

 It is right next to the Mississippi river and has trails running down the side.  It is open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. everyday from spring to fall.  You can reserve the park from anything from photography sessions to weddings.

It is a great place to relax and enjoy your day by getting away from all the hustle and bustle of college and city life.
