5 Date Ideas That Are SO Much More Chill Than Netflix And Chilling All Summer Long

In This Article:

Dates are hard to plan. You always want there to be a balance between fun and unique. After a while, the dinner and a movie idea becomes boring — and expensive. Here are some date ideas that will help you mix things up so your nights together can be spontaneous, romantic, and fun!

Bowling

Bowling is, to some people, an obvious idea, but it is overlooked by many. Bowling gives you the opportunity to show your competitive side and have a chance to talk, all in one. Even if you are not a world class bowler, this date can create many laughs and memories to remember in the future.

Half and half picnic

A half and half picnic is a fun spinoff of your average picnic. First step Is to pick a spot. This can anything from a park to a driveway. The second step is where things get fun! Give your significant other the choice of entrée or dessert. Whatever they choose, they bring and you bring the other. A half and half picnic gives you an opportunity to surprise one another in an inexpensive and easy way.

Arcades

What is better than a friendly game...or ten? Going to an arcade can show off your hidden competitive side. Arcades give you the opportunity to joke around in a relaxed environment, plus there might even be prizes at the end.

DIY drive-in movie

Everyone has been on the cliche date that consists of dinner and a movie. Whether you have a truck, minivan, or just a backyard, you can transform them into the perfect spot for movies and cuddle. Grab a few blankets, pillows, a laptop, and you're set. But don't forget the popcorn of course!

Bonfires

Bonfires allow you to show your outdoorsy side. Imagine, you and your person, wrapped up in blankets, sitting next to a fire under the stars. Do I need to say more?

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
