Have you ever wanted to go on a killer date but you open your wallet and all you find is lint we open our wallets in hopes of cash so we can have a fun night with our significant other but sometimes fall short. Don't worry any longer!

  1. Pack a picnic. Grab a basket, your favorite blanket and go to your local park and make a day of it. Bring a volley ball or Frisbee and have some fun before you eat, after you eat or even before and after you eat.

  2. Check your local theater and see if they have a day when movie tickets are cheap. You could even make this a double date, and grab your friend and their significant other and go see a new and upcoming movie.

  3. Stay in, watch a movie and cook your own dinner. Everyone loves a night in and being able to be lazy and just relax. Why not do it with the one you love?

  4. Plan a scavenger hunt at your local park, university, or just where ever you love. Each of you can get a list of items and see who finds them all first.

  5. Do some stargazing. Whether you’re trying to impress your lover with your knowledge of constellations or you just want to spend some time under the stars with the one you love, stargazing is a great way to do both. Grab yourself some blankets and pillows and just enjoy the time together.
  6. Have a good old fashioned game night. Grab the games you use to love to play as a child and go to town. Hey, making it a competition just makes the whole thing more fun!
  7. Go to a sporting event. If you’re into sports a lot of colleges let students in for free. That could be a great way to spend time with your significant other and enjoy a sporting event too!

  8. Go to an art museum. If you love or your significant other loves art, this is a great way to spend some time together.

  9. Do some baking! Who doesn’t love to bake, eat some cookies and maybe get in to a little flour fight?
  10. Go for a drive. Roll the windows down, crank up your favorite tunes and see where life takes you!

We all want to take our loved ones out to show them we care but in college we don’t always have the money to do so. Sometimes you don’t need to go to a fancy dinner or on an expensive date to show them how you really feel. Just do something together and I’m sure they will get the picture. This list is just a small number of things you can do. There are so many more ideas out there, so go have fun with the one you love.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
