There is nothing worse than wanting to go on adventures and dates but never being able to make up your mind. Thank goodness the internet is so amazing, and you can find the most romantic date ideas anywhere or in a specific area by the drop of a hat! I hope you try some of these experiences out, and they make for incredible memories.

1. Cooking Together

First I will start with the dates you can do anywhere, not just in the NYC area. Staying in to cook together is one of the best bonding experiences. Not only will it be between just the two of you but you will remember the taste of your food you made together for the longest time!!

2. Pretty Bridge

Any historical and vintage bridge you can walk over will be romantic, especially if it has a great view. My favorite is the Brooklyn bridge!

3. A Quiet Italian Restaurant

A romantic dinner at a quiet, warm and cozy restaurant is the ideal date. My favorite place to go to in the city is Da Marino. It is the perfect romantic dinner for two.

4. Movie Night

The old-fashioned movie nights will always be a win in my eyes. My favorite movie theaters are vintage looking ones that make me feel like I have gone back in time.

5. Breakfast

The most cliche time to go on a date is in the evening, but I love me an excellent breakfast. A great place to have a cute breakfast is the Blue Bell Cafe in Manhattan!

6. Botanical Gardens

Any romantic walk is special, but the most beautiful kind of walk is one with a view. The botanical gardens found in many areas in the city and in other states is a fantastic place to go to smell the flowers, see all the beautiful exhibits and relax together as a couple.

7. Boat Ride in Central Park

In my mind, the most romantic experience is in a quiet setting where it is just the two of you, and you are both relaxed. A gondola ride in central park covers all the bases. You can bring a picnic on the boat, talk to each other for hours with no distractions (as long as you know how to row).

8. Picnic

There are so many open spaces we don't know about in New York City BUT one very well known place to have a romantic picnic is in Central Park. Not only is it very accessible but if you want, you never have to picnic at the same spot twice since the park is so spacious.

9. Beach Day

If it is summer time and you are sick of staying in the city, I nice getaway is the New York beaches. Just miles away from Manhattan is Jones beach. A beach day is a beautiful way to get away for a day. It is affordable and fun!

10. Rockefeller Center

In the winter time, a go-to adventure date would hands down be Rockefeller center. Whether you are a local or a visitor to the city, taking a picture in front of the tree and experiencing the holiday atmosphere is priceless.

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?

Happy Birthday Cake

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?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.
