10 Fun Things You Can Do Near Richmond, Va. This Summer

As summer approaches, the bucket list planning starts to begin. There are so many things you can do over the summer at an affordable price (especially if you are a broke college student). Here is a list of just 10 things that you can check off your list for the summer.

1. Go to a concert.

There are plenty of concerts happening locally or even just a few hours away. Concerts can be inexpensive. I mean, you don't need the good seat at every concert, right? You can go with your family or friends and have a really nice time.

2. Have a photo-shoot.

Go to a garden full of sunflowers or a cute park and take photos of you and one of your friends. Make a day out of it with plenty of outfit changes and different poses. Later that day, go home, upload them on your computer, and start editing them if you wish.

3. Visit Museums.

I am a big fan of going to museums and a lot of museums are actually free or little to no costs. It gives you something to do, and you can obtain a lot of information from visiting a museum.

4. Go to D.C.

D.C. is filled with so many fun things to do. There are so many restaurants and tourist attractions that can make a whole day's worth of activities.

5. Go to the beach.

Even if you do not want to stay in a hotel, go to a beach for the day. Sit by the stand, dip your toes in the water, and go to one of those cute ice cream shops alongside the border.

6. Go to the pool.

If the beach is too far away, the pool is always the next best option.

7. Try new restaurants.

Trying new restaurants is one of my many favorite things to do. I like to try new places because I think it is fun. Just explore some new places, and maybe you will find your next "go-to" spot.

8. Watch a Netflix series.

I am currently watching Grey's Anatomy, and I am starting to plan on what Netflix series I want to start next. Netflix is a great way to find a new show of interest, and relax.

9. Visit Carytown.

If you live near Richmond, then Carytown is always fun to go to. Sometimes they have festivals going on, and there are a lot of restaurants to visit there as well.

10. Go to Belle Isle.

Again, if you live near Richmond, Belle Isle is very fun. If you want to get in the water, or just sit by the rocks; this is a great spot for both and then plus more.


These are just 10 fun activities to do over the summer, but there is much more to do. Just keep an eye out for activities, and start planning a bucket list. Keep on checking things off the list. Have a great and safe summer!

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
