8 Fun And Romantic Summer Date Ideas
Hospitality

Summer is finally here, and everyone is scrambling to find some fun to get into; Especially couples, who plan on spending a lot of time each other. However, a lot of us draw blanks when it comes to finding fun, romantic date ideas without out-playing the usual dinner or movie.

Never fear, this list should provide some fun date ideas, if not inspire you to come up with some of your own:


1. Watch a Sunrise/Sunset

This is a simple, yet dreamy way to start or end a day with 'bae.' It's free and breathtakingly beautiful.

2. Go to a Drive-in Movie

I know I’m not the only one who's wondered if actual drive-in movies existed. Instead of going to a regular movie at a theatre, try going here instead. Bring your own snacks, and enjoy this rare entity.

3. Make Popsicles/Ice-cream

Everybody deserves a cold treat on a hot, sweltering summer day. Cool down and get creative by making popsicles or homemade ice-cream. There are so many different recipes out there for frozen, delicious indulgences, so step outside the box!

4. Candle-lit Outdoor Dinner


Amongst others on the list, this date has got to be one of my favorites (considering I’m a hopeless romantic.) This dinner date does not have to be anywhere extravagant, you can simply set this up in your backyard, or possibly at a local park.

Prepare a home-cooked meal (or get something to go from one of you guys' favorite restaurants), maybe even get a single rose and place it in a cup of water (for effect), and just enjoy this romantic dinner with each other.

5. Go on a Road Trip

Nothing screams summer vacation like a road trip. Whether its to a local city, or somewhere out of state, road trips are character builders and are bound to bring you and your significant other even closer together.

Take pictures of country sides, and stop and get food from infamous restaurants. It’s a great way to enjoy one another’s company.

6. Star Gazing

Almost like the first date on our list, star gazing is a simple way to unwind and talk about you guys’ day. With all the open sky, there gives room to have boundless conversations, ranging to infinity

7. Water Balloon Fight

Looking for a way to cool down without necessarily getting into a pool, or breaking the bank by going to a water park? A water balloon fight is the way to go. Not only is it fun, but you guys can make a game out of it without being concerned with privacy, nor spending money.

8. Participate in a Color Run

Some couples have fitness goals they want to achieve together, and there is no better way than to participate in a color run. Having ran in one myself, color runs are exciting, and full of friendly individuals. This is just a great way to cheer your 'bae' on and have wholesome fun in the process.

9. Have a Game Night

Although this isn't the most spontaneous thing on this list, its simple, friendly competition that can be spiced up.

10. Create a Memory Box

This is a lovely way to really collect memories during the summer, and an entity to cherish years later.

11. Have a Disney Movie Marathon

Bring out you guys' inner child by watching Disney classics, its sure to bring a sense of nostalgia.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
