The Dinner Date
614NOW

Shimmering lights overhead, the bustle of people on the sidewalk, and the quiet fall of the horse's hooves upon the pavement.

Planning the ideal, romantic date can be difficult, yet have faith, there are many options out there! Here are a few ideas to keep in mind:

Dinner: Both sides of the party can have a say as each person has different taste buds. One might enjoy sushi, while the other enjoys a nice, rare steak. The step to success in this area is first choosing the genre of food. From there, you and your partner can discuss how nice you would like to make the evening. For instance, let's take burgers as the menu for the night: McDonald's would be quick and low scale, while Red Robin would be the casual medium, or Ted's Montana Grill for a nicer, more sophisticated evening.

After Dinner: When planning the activity after dinner, a walk through downtown lit by Christmas lights, ice skating with romantic music playing the background, or a carriage ride tour of the city would be a few ideas to add something to the date. Each option offers a different mood. Walking can offer quick stops in shops along the way. Ice skating is on the more active side of the date so if doing something active while spending time together, this is a great option. Now if you want to create the ultimate experience, a horse-drawn carriage ride through a city while wrapped in a blanket, then choose an option that offers closeness and intimacy like this. Other options include dancing, going for a night drive, going to a nice bar, or maybe a movie to relax. It all depends on the likes and interests of the one you're taking on a date and your own desires for the date.

Now, this only covers a dinner and activity date, but the same ideas apply for other occasions and times of day. Pick the genre of food, decide how nice you are desiring to create the date to be, and pick an activity that works with both of you and the tone you trying to set for the evening. Anytime you're planning a date, it is healthy to have a mindset of combining interests and likes. A good date that appeases both sides is set for success.

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right? I mean I went through four years of tough classes and serious self-searching (and crying). What I found overall was Senioritis sneaking up on me.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.
