Being in college, I don't expect my boyfriend to be rolling in the dough, and he knows that i'm certainly not either. Everything seems to cost an arm and a leg, but it doesn't have to. Whether your'e in a bind, or just want to save some cash, here are a few ways to spice up your dating life for little to no money.

1. Netflix and chill

Take a load off. Order some Chinese and pick out a cheesy scary movie off of Netflix or Redox.

2. Change jar

My boyfriend got me a custom made coin jar to hang up beside my door. When we have extra change we drop it in the jar. After a couple of weeks/months go by we take the change to Coinstar, get dressed up and go on a fancy date.

3. Matinee movie

Pack a big purse and grab that $5 movie ticket right after work. It may be early, but you'll miss the crowd and you can't beat that.

4. Explore

Go to an old town or somewhere you are not familiar with, walk around and window shop. The only thing holding you back is gas money.

5. Try a new recipe together

Agree on a Pintresty recipe, throw on an apron and give it a shot. You can even go the extra mile by lighting candles and dressing up as if you are going to a fancy restaurant.

6. Go outside

Go hiking on a cool trail, camping in the woods or anything active. This is a great way to bond and get to know each other better without having to spend a dime.

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.
