If you’re anything like me, you’ve listened to The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess 18 billion times. We love her, I love her, you love her, we all love her (including the straights?!). Her upbeat, sexy, fun, queer tunes are the soundtrack to the summer. Even though I’m well past the age of summer school breaks, I still take this time to embody the mood of one of those Target summer sales ads: carefree, lots of color, cold drinks, pools, lounging, reading by the beach, a summer fling. Summer is just pride month, extended, so we should treat it as such.
If you’re anything like me, you’re also incredibly broke. For a free-spirit queer who thrives on the finer things in life, this doesn’t really work. I’ve spent countless summers trying to budget for little weekends away or visits to teacher friends who literally have a summer break, but all of it is still so expensive. This summer, I’ve discovered the beauty of a staycation. Sure, it’s always existed, but not with my unique twist on it.
I present to you the ultimate quiz for a queer broke summer; give me your favorite Chappell Roan lyrics, and I’ll tell you what to do on your staycation with your partner.

Beach day! Actually perfect
Spa day, honestly a pretty good answer.
Also I am so happy I knew most of the references 😅
“Reading and sleeping for 48 hours.” YES
The “Picture You” erasure on the favorite song question!! 😂 But my gf and I both got museums so, love that for us!
Reading and sleeping for 48 hours? What? The closest thing I’ve ever had to a vacation in my working life? I mean it sounds nice, sure, and I do it all the time.
