Have you been wanting to go out with your crush forever but your bank account is looking a little tight? Or has the christmas season run your wallet dry? Going on a date doesn't require a minimum of 50 dollars to be spent for both you and your date in order to have a good time. Here are 10 intimate dates that cost nothing!

1. Photography Date

Take pictures of your significant other is a very intimate and fun date that cost minimal amount of money. Whether you have a DSLR, that crazy iPhone X camera quality or a disposable camera, this date can be a fun way to explore scenic areas around you along with capturing the beauty of your boo.

2. Star Gazing

Since it is mid january, this one is better if you have a sunroof and well a working heating system in your car. Nevertheless, listening to serene music while looking up at the stars is the perfect date if you want to get to know someone on a deeper level than a dinner and movie date.

3. Classic Picnic

Everyone loves food, so why not find that old picnic basket and make some sandwiches grab a blanket, and enjoy a nice scenic view. Now for frigid weather conditions, simply make some hot chocolate and cuddle up!

4. Sunrise Hiking

Watching the sun rise from anywhere is already a beautiful sight. Now amplify that view times 10x next to your loved one on a beautiful mountain. With the little cost of waking up a bit earlier!

5. Private Fashion Show

Whether you and your significant other decide to switch clothes or try on your own, putting on music and letting your hair down could be one of the best dates. You're being vulnerable with your S.O and showing carefree side that may not get to be exposed in many other situations or dates.

6. Be a Tourist

Visit a historical landmark or city in your state and just rome. Rooming random streets and get lost with your partner makes for a funny and un-expected date. Also this is a great time to visit museums or art galleries in your city or area.

7. Visit a Dog Adoption Store

Petting doggies is always a great time and would make for a great date. Seeing your dates face light up when seeing the cutest dog ever is definatly priceless.

8. Go on a Target Date

Whether you check out the cool gadgets, books, or smell the candles, target is always the go to place for when you and your date have nothing to do. You don't have to buy something but just window shopping and enjoying each other's company is enough to make this date a memorable one.

9. Have an In-home Spa Day

Grab some olive oil from your kitchen, find some online DIY face mask recipes and light some candles. This intimate date at home is a comfy yet exciting way to spend time with your S.O. Also a great snapchat opportunity!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
