First I have a few ideas of things that can be done while spending no money. We have lots of hikes around us, a few well known ones are the Y hike, and another being bridal veil falls.  Both are scenic and not too hard. If you are not an outdoor person here is a plan for you, gather all the blankets and sheets in the house and make a wonderful fort, if you have hanging lights add those around the edges to give the fort an even more wonderful feeling.  Then order some pizza ( costs a little bit of money) and play card games or watch a movie.

Now we will jump into some ideas that require a little spending.  This is one of my favorites though and it has helped me learn how to bake. Some of my favorite things to do are cook desserts and then invite friends over to enjoy them with you.  And if you fail the first time it makes it a challenge to try again and have your friends judge your baking skills. Which also leads to having a cook off give everyone a dessert to make and come together and present them and see who has done the best/ been most creative with their cooking. It makes people enjoy coming to your house too because they know they will be getting a yummy treat. You will also get to enjoy it, so win win.

If you are willing to get into bigger spending, some of the most fun weekends I have had is when my friends and I decide to get out of town for a few days. We leave after the last person gets off work on Friday and we go wherever we are feeling for the weekend.  It doesn’t have to be far, just a little getaway. By getting an air bnb for the weekend it isn’t too pricey. Look up fun things to do in that new area and just get out of Provo to help you stay sane. This option of how to spice up your weekend is going to be the most expensive option but overall the most exciting.  This is how I have created some of my fondest memories while living the college dream.

Hopefully out of all these different ideas there is something in your price point that sticks out to you.  These are just a few of my many ideas. I will be posting more on another blog post so stick around for more ideas on spicing up your weekend.
