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.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
