8 Summer Date Night Ideas At And Around Arizona State University

This article is perfect for new Sun Devils trying to beat the heat. All of these can be planned relatively last minute as well.

1. Baseball Game

Chase Field is super fun, and thanks to our retractable roof you can escape the heat! It's easy to get cheap, nose-bleed seats last minute. Even better, depending on who we're playing, you can get relatively good seats inexpensively.

2. Drive-In Movie

West Wind Drive-In Theaters is one of the only drive-in theaters in the valley. It's super cute and is an experience in itself! General admission is actually cheaper than a lot of theaters nearby. I recommend grabbing some food and blankets and setting up a cute camp in the back of your car or truck.

3. Paddle Boating

Renting a paddle boat (or pedal boat) at Tempe Town Lake can be relatively cheap and such a cute, cheesy date (like in 10 Things I Hate About You!!). It's especially fun at night, but keep in mind they close at 8:00 on weekdays. Make a night of it and pack a picnic to eat by the lake after!

4. Stargazing

It's difficult to properly stargaze in the valley due to light pollution, but the Gilbert Rotary Centennial Observatory makes it easier! It's open on Friday and Saturday nights and is a great memory.

5. Ice Skating

During the summer, Ice Den Chandler offers $5 Friday night public skating. This is the ultimate way to beat the heat! If you and your partner or friends end up loving it, I highly recommend City Skate during the winter. It's an outdoor ice skating rink in downtown Phoenix that's always decorated super cute for the holidays!

6. Old Movie Showing

If you liked the idea of a drive-in movie, or you're just generally a movie lover, you have to check out Alamo Draft House. This is a dine-in theater (with really good food that can run a little pricey, heads up) that plays both new and old movies. I always keep an eye on their website because they often have really fun showings of things like sing-a-longs! The Tempe location is pretty close to the ASU campus.

7. Pottery Painting

As You Wish is a pottery painting place in Tempe Marketplace that's super fun for a first date or a group of friends! I also love going there to make gifts. It can run about $30 per person once you account for the studio fee, so keep that in mind.

8. Night Hike

Night hiking is super fun and can be great for escaping the heat as well. City Spot is a great, super light walk on South Mountain that leads to an amazing view of the valley. Just like paddle boating, you can make a night of it and pack some food!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
