5 Valentine's Ideas That Won't Break Your Bank

Even though I think Valentine's Day is a silly holiday, I still like to put together something cute to do with my boyfriend. Of course, I'd like to plan some extravagant outing for us with fancy meals and lavish presents, but let's be real -- I'm a broke college student. Over the years, we've come up with a few romantic ideas that won't break the bank!

1. Go on a hike.

Hiking is awesome, as well as free! It's a great way to experience nature and spend quality time with your love.

2. Cook dinner together.

I love cooking for my boyfriend, but we have a great time cooking together! We even split the cost of the ingredients so that its more affordable.

3. Go on a picnic.

It really doesn't get much cuter than this. You can even prepare your meal together then go on a picnic!

4. Stay in, pick a movie, and cuddle.

Cuddling and watching movies is one of my all time favorite date nights to begin with, so using it as part of my Valentine's Day plans works even better. Plus, it's free!

5. Set up a scavenger hunt.

This idea is super adorable and clever! You can decide how much you want to spend on the last clue!

Valentine's Day is always an excuse for my man and me to do something fun. And we don't have to be rich to do so!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
