5 Date Ideas To Take Advantage Of This Holiday Season, If You're From Ohio

Ahh, the holiday season. Every basic girl's favorite, romantic time of the year, and every guy's nightmare. No worries fellas, I've come up with five awesome winter date ideas, so that you don't have to. That way you can trick your girl into thinking you love the cold, the snow, and Christmas just as much as she does.

1. Glow Tubing At Snow Trails

Snow Trials, in my hometown, Mansfield, Ohio, offers tickets on the weekends to go glow tubing. Glow tubing is just snow tubing but way better. You go after hours, and the slopes are lit up with neon lights, making it a perfect winter date night for you and your honey. For just 25 dollars, you can tube unlimited for 2 hours, as long as you can brave the cold for that long.

2. The "Christmas Story" House

Located in Cleveland, Ohio, you can go visit where everyone's favorite Christmas movie was filmed. That's right, it's the "Christmas Story" house. For an admission price of just 13 dollars, you can take a tour of this house complete with the leg lamp in the window. Just be careful of Ralphie shooting his new Red Ryder bb gun in the backyard, he might shoot your eye out.

3. The Wildlights at The Columbus Zoo

Okay, this one is kind of cliche, but all girls, at least from my hometown, love to be taken to the Columbus Zoo for the Christmas lights. This holiday season, head down to the Wildlights at the Columbus Zoo, where for just 12 dollars, you can walk around and see the same lights you've seen a million times, and waste your money on overpriced hot chocolate. Not gonna lie, I'm going on a date there tonight. I can't help myself.

4. Ice Skating in Public Square

Public Square, in downtown Cleveland, offers ice skating every winter. It's a pretty rinky dinky ice skating rink, but it's decorated so nicely, and there are some super cute shops right around the rink that you can waste some time at. Ice skating outside in the winter while it's snowing and you're surrounded by a huge Christmas tree and Christmas lights is basically every girl's dream date. Sign me up, please. At it's only 10 dollars. What a bargain.

5. Winter Hiking

I asked my boyfriend what is a cute idea for a winter date and he told me a winter hike. This might sound crazy but if you don't mind the cold (like me), and you love the way the snow looks on the trees (like me), then this could be super romantic, and fun. There are a million places to hike in Ohio, that would be even better in the winter. My favorite? Hemlock falls (in Mansfield), Brandywine Falls (in Cuyahoga), and Lyons Falls (at Mohican, in Mansfield). The best part? It's free.

This holiday season, plan a date (or not really plan one, just steal one off this list), and surprise your favorite girl on a winter date excursion full of romance and fun. We aren't very hard to impress.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
