5 Cheap Dates

Dates that don't have to break the bank.

5 Cheap Dates
George Marks

I know that between bills and school we don't have a lot of money to go on an expensive date with our sweetie. However, dates don't have to be expensive to have a great time. Here are five simple but amazing dates that won't break the bank.

1. Going to the zoo

Going to the zoo is so much fun and are tons of activities there! Some zoos are free of admission, and all you have to pay for is parking which is only around five bucks. Also, most zoos will let you bring a picnic that you can eat so you can save money on the food and drinks.

2. Go on a picnic

A picnic is great because you can buy items to make sandwiches, cheap chips and cheap drinks. You also get to get to enjoy the outdoors and view nature and get some fresh air.

3. Going for a drive

A drive in the country is super fun as well! Just spending time enjoying each other is all that a date is really about, and you can jam out to the radio and act silly together.

4. A night under the stars

Grab a blanket, some snacks and drinks and just enjoy the beautiful stars. You get to observe how amazing nature is and you get to snuggle up to your sweetie.

5. Have a movie night at home

This is my favorite by far. You may have to get food or you can simply make what you have at home. You also can watch what movies you have. Just put the movie in, cuddle on the couch and enjoy!

These are my favorite cheap dates that don't have to feel cheap. I hope you can enjoy these as much as I do.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
