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!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
