Being in college, I don't expect my boyfriend to be rolling in the dough, and he knows that i'm certainly not either. Everything seems to cost an arm and a leg, but it doesn't have to. Whether your'e in a bind, or just want to save some cash, here are a few ways to spice up your dating life for little to no money.

1. Netflix and chill

Take a load off. Order some Chinese and pick out a cheesy scary movie off of Netflix or Redox.

2. Change jar

My boyfriend got me a custom made coin jar to hang up beside my door. When we have extra change we drop it in the jar. After a couple of weeks/months go by we take the change to Coinstar, get dressed up and go on a fancy date.

3. Matinee movie

Pack a big purse and grab that $5 movie ticket right after work. It may be early, but you'll miss the crowd and you can't beat that.

4. Explore

Go to an old town or somewhere you are not familiar with, walk around and window shop. The only thing holding you back is gas money.

5. Try a new recipe together

Agree on a Pintresty recipe, throw on an apron and give it a shot. You can even go the extra mile by lighting candles and dressing up as if you are going to a fancy restaurant.

6. Go outside

Go hiking on a cool trail, camping in the woods or anything active. This is a great way to bond and get to know each other better without having to spend a dime.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
