10 Inexpensive Winter Date Ideas For College Students

In the winter it is easy to get in a date night slump. You usually want to spend the time you have at the end of the day bundled up watching Netflix, but why not use that time for some fun and inexpensive winter date nights?!

1. Cook dinner together.

All this is going to cost ya is some ingredients and a little bit of time. Homemade pizzas and tacos are always easy and delicious, or you can challenge yourself with a complex Pinterest recipe. The world is your oyster.

2. Fear factor.

While we are on the topic of food, why not have a fear factor night? Just combine some random ingredients together. This could be in an attempt to create a new yummy recipe, or to dare each other to eat or drink whatever concoction you came up with.

3. See a movie.

This is always a fun way to get out of the house. Plus, this time of year is great for new movies. My boyfriend and I have already planned on seeing at least five new movies before Christmas. (P.S. Sometimes your local movie theater gives discounts to students. Score!)

4. Take a hike.

Now this is a very weather permitting option, but still a ton of fun. It's always nice to explore with the one you care about. Just make sure to bundle up and grab a hot chocolate on the way back home.

5. Start a show together.

If you prefer to stay in, then why not start a show with each other? It will be fun to learn about new characters and plots with one another, and if you are a wimp like me, this is the perfect time to watch a suspenseful show since you won't be alone.

6. Build a fort.

I don't know about you, but building a bad ass fort will never get old to me. Throwback to your childhood amiright? Instead of bundling up with the blankets, drape them over chairs and couches to make an awesome fort.

7. Work out together.

Stay in shape for that spring break trip by working out together. Exercise releases endorphins which make you happier, so working out together could even help your relationship. Exercise also gives you more energy to fit more dates into your schedule!

8. Look at Christmas lights.

Take a little drive around the neighborhood to look at all of the fun and creative displays. Put on that Pandora Christmas station and enjoy the holiday season.

9. 25 days of Christmas night.

The 25 days of Christmas marathon on Freeform starts thanksgiving day. Grab some popcorn, hot chocolate, wine, whatever you like, and see what great movies are on. This is great for the really cold/bad weather nights.

10. Nap date.

This would have to be my favorite. Sometimes after a long and stressful day you don't want to go out but still want to spend time together. Why not catch up on sleep you both need? It may not be creative, but it sure is nice.

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.
