First dates aren't all that bad.

8 Easy First Date Ideas
Taylor Knoche

One date is all it takes. (Insert Pinterest Quote.)

"Maybe it won't work out. But maybe seeing if it does will be the best adventure ever."

Honestly, you really never know what could come out of just one date. That's all it is.

Girls, I mean a date. An actual real date. Not "hmu if you wanna hang" type of thing. Like call you and ask if you're free Friday night and take you out for dinner type of date. A text at midnight asking to hang is not a date.

So here are eight fun first date ideas that could either make it or break it:

1. Putt-putt.

Who doesn't like a little competition sometimes? (It also can bring out frustration, which can be pretty entertaining especially on a first date because you know they don't want to show it, but they can't help it).

2. Ice cream.

I promise you can never go wrong with some ice cream. A girl is always in the mood for ice cream (even when she says she's not, I promise).

3. Baseball game.

It may be scorching hot, but nothing is better than a baseball game with someone you like. Make bets with each other on who will win. Makes it interesting.

4. Fishing.

It will definitely test your patience so you kind of get an idea if you really want to spend the rest of your life with that person.

5. Bowling.

When I think of bowling I think of a laid back, good time. If anyone is like me then you'll definitely see that persons competitiveness. It can even be with other people.

6. Zoo.

Animals are better than humans so why wouldn't you surround yourself with them for a day?

7. Hiking.

Adventurous, doesn't require a whole lot of athletic ability. It does require a positive attitude and water.

8. Amusement Park.

This can show a true side of a person. I went on a date once to an amusement park and during the first roller coaster I realized that the guy is scared of heights and only came because he wanted to do something fun with me (cute, I know).

These aren't super serious dates, but they are good "get to know you dates." Nothing has to be serious right now. So when you go on this date, the guy will ask you on a date, properly. He will come to the door to meet you. He won't send a text saying, "I'm here." Too many guys just disrespect this dating game anymore. They think they can get by with likes on Instagram or texting every other week only when it's right for him and he needs something. How romantic, huh?

For the guys, just ask the girl you like on a date. It can be so simple, like go getting ice cream or fishing.

And for the girls, if you like a guy go for it.

It's one date. I'm no relationship expert by no means, but I do believe the dating scene has changed and we need to get back to how it use to be.

Time is so precious and it goes by fast. I'm not saying go out and try to force something, but go have fun. If it works then it works and if it doesn't then oh well.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
