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.

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.
