8 Fun Date Ideas
Editorsguild

Our generation is the “Netflix and Chill” generation where a night behind closed doors in a room watching random shows and making out is acceptable. So if you and/or your significant other are tired of "Netflix and Chill", here are some date ideas

1. Dinner and movie

This is probably most classic date a couple can go on. Dinner might be a little awkward, but you can get to know one another if it is a first date and if it isn’t you can have time to catch up with one another before relaxing and enjoying a movie.

2. A night out dancing

This can be fun even if you can’t dance. You two could also learn that one or both of you have a new talent. It would be a night of getting close and learning skills of guiding one another and communication to get the dance down.

3. Skydiving

This would be an exhilarating date and would definitely involve a lot of trust. This probably wouldn’t be the best first date, but if you two have been together for a little bit I say go for it! Hopefully the date ends in laughs and shared stories of what went through each other’s minds as you guys fell.

4. Bowling

This can be a great date as long as neither of you get too competitive. It can cause some arguments but also create some fun memories. If you two enjoyed it a lot you guys could make bowling a monthly thing and try to get your friends involved.

5. The zoo

This is a great date to just relax and walk around and see all the animals. You two could see how many animals you could name off the top of your head or try to make up your own type of names for the animals and see which ones sound the funniest.

6. Hiking/Camping

If you two ever want to embrace your outdoors side this would be the perfect date. You two can spend the day hiking to the campsite and then spend the night around a fire and getting cozy in the tent.

7. Cooking

Cooking together can be a great experience even if neither of you can cook. You two can go to a cooking class and learn the tricks of the trade or go to your local grocery store and pick out ingredients you both love to make a fantastic meal at home.

8. Circus

Have you ever wanted to relive your childhood? If either one of you suggest this idea, it could potentially do that for either one of you or for both of you. This is an excellent way to relive your childhood and remember all the good times you had at the circus as a small kid. You could even make it a good tradition between just the two of you if you both love it. You two may even like going to the circus so much that you make it a tradition just between the two of you, kind of like an anniversary.

If you want to be different and not the stereotypical couple. You have the option to do any one of these date ideas. All of these ideas are unique in some way and you may find something about your significant other that you did not know before. Do you know the saying “never know until you try it”? Well you may like some of these date ideas or even others more than “Netflix and chill”.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
