5 Summer Date Ideas In Dublin, Ohio
Intelligent Community

The summer is finally here. The grass is greener than ever, the sun is hot, and the joy is blooming as we decide how we can make this summer as good as it can be. And what's the summer without some amazing dates?! In Dublin, Ohio, there are plenty of things to do with your significant other.

Without further ado, here are five summer date ideas you can enjoy in good ole' Dublin.

1. Go to the Columbus Zoo


The Columbus Zoo always makes for a great, memorable date. Both of y'all can grab some ICEEs and admire the wonderful zoo our city has to offer. I am pretty sure anyone who is anyone would love to see their new polar bears, who are as cute as can be.

And if you're feeling extra wild, the two of you can go to the waterpark, Zoombezi Bay, to enjoy some fun water rides and soak up the summer sun.

2. Grab dinner in Downtown Dublin

Downtown Dublin is charming in so many ways. In its own homey way, it provides a wonderful amount of restaurants a couple can dine in. One of my favorites is Tucci's due its romantic patio lights and live band experience.

3. Go to the Irish Festival

This summer, the famous Irish festival is hitting its thirtieth anniversary. On August 4th, 5th, and 6th, Dublin is hosting this special event for anyone to enjoy. The two of you can grab some lemonade shakeups and peruse around the Irish-inspired booths. Additionally, you both can enjoy the live Irish bands and dancing.

4. Enjoy Some Ice Cream

Dublin has plenty of scrumptious ice cream shops. These range from Graeter's, with their black raspberry chip being a prized possession, to Johnson's, a quaint, new place in Downtown Dublin, or the well-known Jeni's. You can't go wrong with any of these full-of-deliciousness options!

5. Hit the movies

I am going to say it right off the bat: the Dublin AMC has the recliner chairs. What is not to like? Going to the movies is always a fun date idea, especially with a nice Coke ICEE in hand. I find I am mentioning ICEEs a lot in this, but you can definitely tell I hold plenty of love in my heart for them. :)

Overall, the charming city of Dublin can provide a multitude of date nights for you and your significant other.

Happy dating!

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

Why I Love Being Single (And You Should, Too)

Dedicated to February 14

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.
