10 Inexpensive Date Ideas

I came up with this idea because my boyfriend and I could never find things to do together that are not super expensive. But we soon found out that there are inexpensive dates we can do together all around us and here are some of them:

1. A picnic in the park

What's cuter than a homemade lunch and you and your s/o surrounded by trees and wildlife?

2. Movie night at home

Watch your favorite movie or a new movie you haven't seen before. Make some microwave popcorn and cuddle on the couch.

3. Play a game

Nothing ever beats a classic game of monopoly or life. It will keep you guys occupied for, literally, hours.

4. Paint twister

Buy some cheap washable paint at the store, wear some old clothes, and play twister together with paint! Messy yet super fun!

5. Go to a local sports game

Go watch your old high school football game together or catch a local baseball game. Entertaining and fun.

6. Karaoke

Create a personal playlist together and take turns singing songs. You'll get lots of laughs out of it and have a great time.

7. Cook a meal

Spend time together cooking a new meal. You can work as a team and both eat the delicious food in the end!

8. Go to the beach

If weather permits, a trip to the beach is romantic and worthwhile. At little or no cost, a beach is probably the most fun place you can be.

9. Make a snowman

What if it's wintertime? Make a snowman or have a snowball fight in the snow!

10. Have a Bon Fire

Put together a fire in your yard, grab some s'mores supplies, and you two are set for the night!

Dates do not always have to be expensive and fancy! Little cheap dates are often the most fun! You guys are together and happy and that's what is most important

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
