Are you and your boo/bae always trying to figure out what to do but can't seem to agree on something? Do you usually ask, "Where do you want to eat?" and they reply with, "I don't know," making you bang your head against the wall until your unconscious? If you said yes to any of these questions, you're reading the right article. Dates don't have to be so complex, so why do we always make them feel that way?

Here are 12 date ideas for all you indecisive couples out there who just can't seem to get it right:

1. Watch the Sunset 

Grab a blanket and some snacks and head on over to the beach or the park and watch the sunset. It's not only romantic, but it's also a great way to appreciate nature and the world around you.

2. Game Night

Like to get a little competitive? Have a game night and break out "Monopoly" or "Cards Against Humanity" or any other of your favorites.

3. Go to Ikea

Yes, Ikea dates are a thing. They have food there in case you get hungry, and you get to look at so many interesting pieces of furniture. You can spend hours there getting lost all while spending time with someone you enjoy.

4. Walk Around Your Favorite Book Store

If you have a local bookstore or a Barnes and Noble, walk around the isles and discover new books to read. Maybe pick out a book you can read together and grab some coffee.

5. Adult Treasure Hunt With the Geocaching App

There's this app called Geocaching, which is basically a treasure hunt for adults. You turn on your location and it will tell you where to find the geocache. Once you find it, have a pen handy so you can sign and date in the logbook and then you move on to the next one.

6. Check Out Your Local Food Trucks

There are always different types of foods to try at any food truck event. Maybe share a few different options so you won't fill up on food so fast.

7. Go To A Comedy Show

There are usually comedy shows that happen locally. It's a great way to just sit down, relax, and have a good laugh.

8. Brunch It Up

Who doesn't love brunch? It's an opportune time to enjoy breakfast/lunch food and maybe a mimosa.

9. Attend Trivia Night

There are many bars that will have weekly trivia nights, especially themed ones. Put your heads together. You can also get to know each other better by seeing what you both know.

10. Ice Skating

Strap on some skates and get on the ice. Doesn't matter if you look like a newborn baby deer just learning how to walk, you'll have fun in the process. Plus, you can hold each other's hand if you're scared you might fall.

11. Arcade Games and Photo Booths  

Netflix

Go to an arcade, perhaps a Dave and Busters or a Boomers, and see who can win the most tickets. Whoever wins will get a cute prize to keep as a memory. If there's a photo booth, take some silly photos to commemorate your win/loss....

12. Attend A Sporting Event

You can find cheap tickets to a basketball or hockey game. Even if you're not super into sports, it's still fun to attend and eat some greasy food.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my 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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
