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!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
