Dating is hard enough, the heat does not need to make it worse. Here are 10 ideas of things to do to cool down during the summer here in Arizona.

Polar Play - Ice Bar

While I have not been here, it is definitely on my summer bucket list when it gets to be 120 degrees here in Phoenix. Polar Play's Ice Bar lets you get out of the heat and play ice games, look at ice sculptures, and lounge in the below freezing temperatures. One ticket gives all-day access and a non-alcoholic beverage. While putting on layers and puffy jackets might not be considered sexy, it is a good way to get out of the summer heat.

Phoenix Art Museum

Phoenix Art Museum is a great way to beat the heat and get cultured at the same time. While tickets can be on the pricey end of the spectrum, every Wednesday is free from 3-9. Instead of spending all that money on tickets, take your date to a nice dinner before hand! The museum is cool and will take a few hours to walk through and talk about.

Press Coffee Tasting

Press Coffee Roasters offers coffee tastings at two locations, one in Chandler and one in Scottsdale. It is an hour-long session where you will learn about the origins and their flavors. While it costs $20 to register, each attendee will get a $10 Press gift card after the fact. If you and your date are coffee lovers, this is a great idea to do this summer!

Go to OdySea Aquarium

OdySea Aquarium is another way to stay indoors on a date and see some cute sea animals at the same time. This is a more expensive date option but fun none-the-less. This is a great way to talk while walking around, learning about the ocean, and seeing all these ocean animals.

Go to AZ on the Rocks

AZ on the rocks is a fun way to stay active in a cool, air-conditioned facility this summer. If your date is fairly active and enjoys heights, this is perfect for you. Without gear, it can be a little expensive, but it is worth it. This is a fun way to bond with your date and spend time exercising all at once.

Go to the movies

Movies are a cheap way to get out of the heat, eat some snacks and have some entertainment. There are plenty of different types of theatre's you can go to too: drive-in, regular theatre's, luxury theatre's, etc. Some theatres even will serve you food and drinks while you recline and watch a movie. Summer is the perfect time to go to the theatre!

Go on a tour at Four Peaks brewery

On Saturday's, the tours at Four Peaks are completely free. If you like beer, this is a cool way to see how it is made and get cool. The fact that is free is even cooler. Four Peaks is one of the most popular breweries in the valley so it would be awesome to see how it was made before you drink it.

Go ice skating.

Ice skating is an easy option for when it gets hot. There are plenty of ice skating rinks across the valley, might as well take advantage of them. It is a cheap option for a date that will keep you cool. While it can be a little embarrassing because you may fall, it is fun to joke about the falls the rest of the night.

Take a day trip up north.

While this can be a little pricier, taking a trip up north to Flagstaff or Prescott is a good way to cool off. Blasting the AC on the drive there and then the temperature drop un north, it is a fun road trip and date. While singing along to all your favorite songs and eating snacks, this is a good way to stay outside and be cool.

Go to Postino's wine cafe

Postino's wine cafe is a great date idea. Wine and bruschetta is a perfect place to go on a date to. The setting is cute, the food is good and the wine is better. Must-go during the summer.

After trying these 10 things, what are your best ideas for dates here in Phoenix?

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.

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.
