Bored of doing the same things over and over with your S.O.? Fear not- I've compiled a list of date ideas that are way more fun than a movie date. From hitting the local zoo or aquarium to heading to a shooting range, this list should give you plenty of ideas for your next date night.

1. Take a step back in time at a museum.

Museum dates are a personal favorite of mine. Walking around and looking at different exhibits, spending time together, and learning the whole time! Some great ones I've visited are the Museum of Natural History, Franklin Science Center, and the Native American museum. Find local ones near you with Google and go!

2. Dive under the sea at an aquarium.

Aquariums are another personal favorite. You never get to see these kinds of animals on the daily, so seeing them with your partner makes it even more fun! Pictured above is the Georgia Aquarium (they've got whalesharks!), but there are plenty around the country and the world.

3. Go on a safari to the zoo.

While the zoo is debated in terms of ethics and animals' well being, it could be a fun date. Though, be prepared to spend a bit of money- they get a little pricy.

4. Get your thrill on at an amusement park.

What better place to take your date to have a good time than an amusement park! Whether you're going for the food or for some thrill rides, it's a lot of fun- especially when you have someone you love with you.

5. Visit a shooting range.

Now I know not everyone will be on board with this one, but for those that are, this could be lots of fun. Make bets about who's a better shot, see how accurate you are, or even just destroy the target!

6. Bake some yummy treats.

I love to bake. Baking with my partner? Sounds like an awesome date! Make your favorite pastries! Bake some cookies and eat them all that night! Make a cake! The possibilities are endless!

7. Explore nature on a hike.

If you and your bae are active or outdoorsy, hiking would be a perfect date! Take some snacks and other necessities and head for the mountains! Just make sure one of you knows the way back.

A movie and dinner may always be a classic, but if you're looking for something a little more unique and different, trying something else can be lots of fun!

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
