BAM! Awesomeness: Fun Things to do in Cedar Rapids

All right.  As much as college is about learning and growing as a student, a good college student knows when to take a night off and relax.  The great thing about Coe is that we are surrounded by the Cedar Rapids area and there is so much to do.  I've got two things you can do: Monday Night Bowling and Kernels Game.

Monday Night Bowling: How much does it cost you to bowl one game and rent a pair of shoes?  Probably a little bit more than you'd like to spend....except on Monday nights at Westdale Bowling Center everything is only a dollar.  Yes, you read that correctly, ONE DOLLAR.  Shoes, games, and even hot dogs and soda.  Located only ten minutes (by car) from Coe it's a great study break.  My friends and I checked it out the first Monday we were here and had a blast.  Homework's been a little heavy the past few Mondays but we hope to get back to the alley soon!  

Kernels Game: Cedar Rapids also has its own Minor League Baseball team called the Cedar Rapids Kernels.  Coe and the Kernels sponsored a Coe Night at the Kernels the first week I was on campus.  For only $3 I got a ticket to the game and a free kelly green t-shirt.  The field is about a six minute drive from Coe and students had to find their own transportation (which isn't too hard to do).  It was a beautiful night and the Kernels won!  It was another nice study break because who doesn't love baseball, popcorn, peanuts and pretzels!
