If you're reading this, it's a healthy assumption that you are stressing out about your next date. You're trying to figure out how to make your first or next date interesting and memorable without breaking the bank.

You're in luck. I've collected the ideal date ideas from a variety of girls with dramatically different personality types to help make your next date planning a lot easier. These dates are easy, unique, and sure to impress anyone.

Here are 30 date ideas that will impress your significant other:

1. Go to a theme park/fair 30 minutes before it closes and see how many rides you can get on.



2. Bike ride around the city and see who can take better pictures.

3. Buy produce from your local farmers market and have a cook-off.

4. Have an outdoor picnic and watch the sunset.

5. Do a model home mansion tour and pretend like you're new buyers.

6. Visit a local lake or body of water and stargaze on kayaks (or air mattresses if you're quirky like that).

7. Find a "first class free" at a local studio (yoga, pilates, etc.) and go together.

8. Sneak into hotel pools.

9. DIY wine and paint night at your house.

10. Volunteer together at your local food bank.

11. Go on an evening hike together.

12. Hammock together.

13. Have a sleepover in the bed of a truck with pillows and blankets. Bring snacks.

14. Play "quarter flip." Get in your car and flip a quarter at every stop light or turn. If you land on heads you turn right, if you land on tails you turn left. After you flip it fifteen times times, see where you end up!

15. Show up to a concert you don't have tickets to and see if you can get any at the box office or through scalpers. (Be careful!)

16. Costco or Sam's Club date where you eat free samples, look at random things then have a hot dog and a drink for $1.50 in the food court.

17. Visit a local bookstore and pick out books for each other to read. Bonus points if the local bookstore has a coffee shop as well.

18. Paint pottery for each other at a local pottery shop. (Check Groupon for deals)

19. Go to one of your old high school's football or basketball games together.

20. Go to an improv or comedy show.

21. Support your communities theater programs and go to one of their shows. (High school, college, community theater, etc.)

22. Make your own pizza together.

23. Drive-in movie but see movie's you've never even heard of before.

24. Order a dozen donuts and try the craziest flavors they have there.

25. Play hide and go seek at Ikea.

26. Go line/swing/salsa dancing.

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.
