Sure, a trip to DC can be overrated, but sometimes it can be fun to be a tourist in your own city. A way to transform this tourist trip into a romantic date however, would be taking your own walking tour of the monuments at night. Think about it, a late night walk together with the bright city lights in the background. It's cute.

Roer's Zoofari

Have an animal lover in the relationship? This date is definitely for you. Roer's Zoofari is like a petting zoo and a regular zoo all in one. They even have bus tours taking you up close and personal with the animals. Think Jurassic park, but without dinosaurs. Yes, there will be little kids running around the zoo. But, you'll barely notice them when you are your S.O. are off on a camel ride, or feeding a Giraffe.

Pet Stores

Anyone who loves dogs is guaranteed to love this date. Most people don't know that some pet stores allow visitors to play with the dogs right there when you walk in! You and your S.O. can play with any puppy of your choosing in your own personal play-pen.

A Day At The Park

If your S.O. is more of the outdoorsy type, why not plan a date at the park! Make sure to bring along a blanket and picnic basket for lunch time! As for activities, some parks have hiking trails, fishing lakes, and volleyball courts.

Try Baking or Cooking Something Together

Whether you or your significant other is good at baking or cooking is besides the point when it comes to this date. It's the memories of attempting something new together, making a few mistakes, laughing at those mistakes, and just spending time with each other that you will cherish the most. And hey! You may end up with a tasty treat at the end...maybe.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
