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

In This Article:

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.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
