Summer is finally here, which means that you don't have school deadlines looming over your heads and you can finally get out and EXPLORE! We're all tired of the boring Netflix & chill, so why not break the routine and check out all the fun date ideas that our city has to offer?
From nature to food to music, this list will give you enough ideas to last you through the long summer days, and will ensure you do more this summer than just laying on a couch! Plus a lot of these ideas are free, which is key if you're on a student budget. How many can you cross off the list this summer?
