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!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
