5 Inexpensive Date Ideas For Valentine's Day

In This Article:

Valentine's Day is literally right around the corner, and if you're not riding solo this year, that means you're celebrating it with the one you love. However, your bank account doesn't love your S.O. nearly as much as you do, so getting something meaningful without breaking the bank is kinda the only option you have. What to do? Well, take a look, and see which idea best suits your relationship!

1. Write them a love letter and then read it to them

Not just any love letter, but one where you pour your heart out and lay it all on the line. Let this be the one day you get completely mushy-gushy.

2. Cook them a homemade meal

There really isn't something more impersonal than sitting in a stuffy, crowded restaurant with a thousand other lovebirds all competing to pop the question first. Plan a nice, home cooked meal and some wine and enjoy a low-key night together.

3. Build a fort together and watch movies all day

Grab some twinkly lights, load up your arsenal of romantic movies and get cuddled up together!

4.Throw your own "Painting with a twist" night

Grab a couple bottles of paint and a couple canvases and let the creative juices flow! Paint portraits of each other or splatter that paint for a fun and slightly messy but never forgettable Valentine's Day.

5. Plan a board game night

There's nothing wrong with a little friendly competition to get sparks flying on Valentine's Day. Make it interesting and every time someone loses a turn, the loser owes the winner a kiss, or, ya know, whatever rules you wanna enforce.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
