5 Date Ideas For You To Try

As college students, we all want to go out and have fun but don't necessarily have the money to casually spend. If you have been fortunate to experience a relationship during college, you will understand that taking exciting dates without spending money can be extremely difficult. Personally I have felt this difficulty, and in a relationship, it is important to try new things as well as keep it interesting. Don't just go out to dinner on the same night every single week for your date night -- switch it up. Be bold, try something new, and have some fun. These 5 intriguing adventures are sure to make some fun memories.

1. Stargazing

Stargazing, it is a very simple and relaxing way to spend time with your significant other. There is no cost involved, and not to mention that it's obviously romantic as hell. Just imagine, the two of you sitting on a blanket, or in a hammock, cuddling because of course the breeze is freezing and you keep each other cozy. As your looking at the stars, you start to look at each other, and the perfect romantic kiss begins. What could be more perfect?

2. Picnic in the Park

Now this may seem kind of basic, and well something that easily comes to mind. However, nowadays no one just appreciates a simple picnic! The point is, that you should! It's a cute idea and picking up some delicious snacks is fairly inexpensive. Getting to enjoy nature and being together is also a bonus. If you go to a park with a playground or basketball courts, that could always be fun too! There are endless possibilities just by going to a park, so make the best of it with a picnic!

3. Ice Skating

Depending on what state you live in, ice skating might not be a plausible option. If you're from the Midwest, such as Minnesota, then this is possible about 80 percent of the year. If you're from Arizona, the desert state, this can be a possibility with indoor rinks. Either way, you still get the experience of either making a fool of yourself to each other or impressing them. Win-win for everyone!

4. Make a Themed Dinner

This idea I found on an article by the Huffington Post. The article proposes the idea of having dinner in a unique way! First, you pick a theme like Italian or Asian. Then you go to the store and buy all of the ingredients that are needed. Make the dish you chose and decorate both the house and yourselves accordingly to make it a theme night. Your date will be filled with creativity and fun.

5. Movie Marathon Day

Now this is probably one of the best ones that you could do! It is spending time, relaxing, and not giving any cares to the world. You are just with each other, in bed all day, and watching movies. Now, what can be better than that?

Either way, these are affordable ways to have fun while also being able to try new things. You can go from staying up all night watching the stars to a scary movie marathon. Regardless, it'll be something new and interesting for you and your date to spend your time.

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.
