10 Dates For Broke College Students On A Budget

As long as you are spending time with that special someone, does it really matter what you are doing?

Sometimes it can be hard to have a nice date when you and your significant other deserve an adventurous getaway, but can hardly afford Applebee’s two for $20.

1. Good old fashion coffee date

Dunkin Donuts may be cheaper, but Starbucks is a bit fancier. Bonus points if it is a Starbucks in a Barnes and Noble. Then, you can wander around looking at books and drinking a frap with your person.

2. Visit the local park

If the weather is nice, why not take your date outside? Burn some calories on a walk and take cute couple pics near trees, what more could you need?

3. Hike in the wilderness

If you live in an area with great hiking trails this is another great way to exercise with your special person.

4. Roam Around Target


This is one of my boyfriend’s favorites. Walk around Target with a Starbucks drink, looking at all the things you can’t afford, and catching up on life. It’s better than it sounds.

5. Fishing

Another great outdoor date. Once you buy the fishing license, it pays for itself. Drive up to the nearest lake (or ocean) and fish for the afternoon. If you have kayaks or a canoe you can actually go out into the water and explore.

6. Mini golf

It’s a cliché for a reason.

7. Ice cream outing

Who doesn’t love sharing a large ice cream sundae? Just kidding, get your own.

8. Rent a movie

Who needs Netflix when you can go old school with Redbox and chill.

9. Cook a meal together

Nothing is more romantic than cooking dinner with your significant other. Bonus points if you can spring for a bottle of wine (to cook with, obviously).

10. Visit the Lego Store

Guess the price for each display and watch the employees get mad at you.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
