9 Summer Outdoor Date Ideas

In This Article:

My boyfriend and I have been trying to come up with some activities to do together. This got me thinking about summery things that would be so much fun to do before school starts again. These could be dates, hangouts with friends, or even just something you'd want to do by yourself. However you want to do it, these are some great ideas for summer activities:

1. Have a picnic.

Very few things are as classic and romantic as picnics. You can make some food or buy something tasty, walk out into a beautiful field, and enjoy a nice meal with some nice company.

2. Go for a walk or hike.

Taking some time to appreciate nature and get some exercise is a great summer activity. Go on a trail or just walk around your neighborhood together. You'll both enjoy the fresh air.

3. Enjoy a bonfire.

If your friends or church group are planning a bonfire, join in! You could even have one just for the two of you. Make some s'mores, tell stories, and enjoy a warm summer night.

4. Grill Out.

Cooking for each other is classically romantic, so why not do it outside? Make some hot dogs, hamburgers, corn on the cob, or anything else you want.

5. Go swimming.

Going to the pool is one of the best summer activities. You can hang out in the water, have some snacks, or read a book while getting a little sun. Bring some floaties and water guns and you could have a really fun date.

6. Go to the lake or beach.

I love going to the lake. At the one I go to you can rent pontoons or hang out at the shops. It's great! The beach is also a good place if it's close to you. Play in the sand and enjoy all of the fresh seafood that's available.

7. Go to a drive-in theater.

If you have never been to a drive-in theater, you need to go! They are so cool. There was one near me, but it closed down and I was so disappointed. If there's one near you, I highly recommend you give it a try.

8. Try stargazing.

If you guys are out towards the country and it's night time, you will see an amazing view. I get that not everyone can go into the country areas, but if you can, this is a sweet and simple activity that you will absolutely love.

9. Go canoeing or kayaking.

Some people aren't into canoeing or kayaking, and that's okay. I'm not really into it either. If you are, however, then this is a great idea for a date, especially if you both enjoy it. If your partner hasn't gone before, maybe try something calm and relaxing to see if they like it. If you're both experienced, then you could even try handling harsher waters for something more fun and exciting. Just be sure to stay safe!

I hope these ideas help you utilize the rest of your summer by spending time with the people you love. Go out and have fun!

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.
