20 Fun Date Ideas For When It's Safe To Go Outside Again

Brooke Smith

With the global pandemic going on, it's important to look forward to the future. It's important to know that there will be better times ahead, and that one day, we will be able to not have to practice social distancing. Hopefully, we all will be able to go out during the summer months, and this will be helpful for couples to get out of the house as well with all of this staying at home and working at home.

It will also be important for couples to go out on dates when this is all over due to most entertainment spots, such as movie theaters and bowling alleys, currently being closed due to COVID-19. Couples may be at each other's throats during this quarantine, but here are 20 fun date ideas for upcoming safer days and for times that we are able to eventually leave our house to give couples a little hope for what is to come:

1. Going to a local botanical garden

Giphy

Not only will it make for great pictures for social media but also the floral scenery will stir up feelings of romance

2. Going on a picnic

Giphy

This can be at a park, during a hike or even in a garden! After all, I'll always take an extra opportunity to eat.

3. Going for a long walk on a hiking trail

Giphy

There are some gorgeous hiking spots, including waterfall hiking trails, like this one.

4. Going to the beach if you are near one

Giphy

Imagine sandy toes and sunshine on your skin

5. Painting outside

Giphy

Nothing is better than a glass of wine and a blank canvas to get the creative juices flowing.

6. Cloud watching

Giphy

A good conversation starter is what you see in the clouds, open up your imagination

7. Jogging together

Giphy

Get those endorphins flowing and that blood pumping

8. Tanning outside together

Giphy

Too much sunbathing is not good, but it can be good to get some vitamin D occasionally.

9. Playing mini golf

Giphy

Mini golf is a fun, easy, cheap and quick date.

10. Going to a local swimming pool

Giphy

A great way to relax and one can show off their diving skills.

11. Riding bikes together

Giphy

Exercise is the best, and biking is a great way to sight see.

12. Stargaze

Giphy

Nothing is more romantic than sitting underneath a night sky full of stars.

13. Camp outside together

Giphy

A true couple bonding experience includes roasting marshmallows together as well as sharing a sleeping bag in the great outdoors.

14. Grab a projector, lay out a blanket and have an outdoor movie theater

Giphy

It's even better if the movie is a romantic comedy.

15. Go to a concert

Giphy

I personally am buying every concert ticket possible once it's safe to do so again

16. Take a road trip

Giphy

Start up a couples road trip playlist, and enjoy the ride.

17. Go to a local winery if you’re of age

Giphy

Wineries can lead to outdoor time together and can make you feel classy and refined.

18. Grab ice cream or frozen yogurt

Giphy

Kisses are not the only source of sugar necessary on dates

19. Go fishing

Giphy

Fishing can even lead to catching what you all will have for dinner.

20. Go to a sporting event like an outdoor baseball game

Giphy

Most people will be rushing to the ticket offices once sporting events are back and can have fans attend again.

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.

Student Life

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.
