This article is perfect for new Sun Devils trying to beat the heat. All of these can be planned relatively last minute as well.

1. Baseball Game

Chase Field is super fun, and thanks to our retractable roof you can escape the heat! It's easy to get cheap, nose-bleed seats last minute. Even better, depending on who we're playing, you can get relatively good seats inexpensively.

2. Drive-In Movie

West Wind Drive-In Theaters is one of the only drive-in theaters in the valley. It's super cute and is an experience in itself! General admission is actually cheaper than a lot of theaters nearby. I recommend grabbing some food and blankets and setting up a cute camp in the back of your car or truck.

3. Paddle Boating

Renting a paddle boat (or pedal boat) at Tempe Town Lake can be relatively cheap and such a cute, cheesy date (like in 10 Things I Hate About You!!). It's especially fun at night, but keep in mind they close at 8:00 on weekdays. Make a night of it and pack a picnic to eat by the lake after!

4. Stargazing

It's difficult to properly stargaze in the valley due to light pollution, but the Gilbert Rotary Centennial Observatory makes it easier! It's open on Friday and Saturday nights and is a great memory.

5. Ice Skating

During the summer, Ice Den Chandler offers $5 Friday night public skating. This is the ultimate way to beat the heat! If you and your partner or friends end up loving it, I highly recommend City Skate during the winter. It's an outdoor ice skating rink in downtown Phoenix that's always decorated super cute for the holidays!

6. Old Movie Showing

If you liked the idea of a drive-in movie, or you're just generally a movie lover, you have to check out Alamo Draft House. This is a dine-in theater (with really good food that can run a little pricey, heads up) that plays both new and old movies. I always keep an eye on their website because they often have really fun showings of things like sing-a-longs! The Tempe location is pretty close to the ASU campus.

7. Pottery Painting

As You Wish is a pottery painting place in Tempe Marketplace that's super fun for a first date or a group of friends! I also love going there to make gifts. It can run about $30 per person once you account for the studio fee, so keep that in mind.

8. Night Hike

Night hiking is super fun and can be great for escaping the heat as well. City Spot is a great, super light walk on South Mountain that leads to an amazing view of the valley. Just like paddle boating, you can make a night of it and pack some food!

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

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

SUNY Binghamton

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.
