The 10 Best Fried Foods At UA's 'Fried Fridays'
Stephanie Keck

Warning: This may make you crave fried food.

One of the greatest (or worst?) parts of the school year getting back in full swing at the University of Alabama is the weekly Fried Fridays. If you’re in a sorority, you can expect to have delicious, breaded, fried goodness waiting for you at your house every Friday (when chances are, you might be slightly hung over from the night before.) Though this may sound incredible, it’s also horrible if you’re still trying to get rid of the Freshman 15. In my mind, if I’ve already paid for this food, I might as well enjoy it! Here’s a list of top ten of the greatest worst fried foods on Alabama’s sorority row every Friday:

1. Fried Macaroni and Cheese

On the seventh day, God created fried macaroni and cheese.

2. Fried Oreos

Heaven in real life?

3. French Fries

Crinkle-cut, waffle, shoestring, sweet potato... the possibilities are endless.

4. Mozzarella Sticks

We love mozz-sticks.

5. Chicken Tenders/Wings/Nuggets/Bites/etc.

We are in the south and we will eat our fried chicken accordingly. Maybe even with a waffle.

6. Fried Pickles

You either love ‘em or you hate ‘em.

7. Mini Corn-Dogs

This ain’t LSU though.


8. Fried Broccoli-Cheese Bites

Where can I find this hidden gem after I graduate?


9. Fried Donut Holes

Dunkin’ is my life.


10. Fried Cheese Curds

A rare find, but a good find.


There are some honorable mentions (or rather, some of the more unique options at Fried Friday) to add to this list as well:

Fried Green Beans

Egg Rolls

Fried Ravioli

Some Fried Foods we wish Fried Fridays would have...

Fried Cookie Dough

Fried Ice Cream

Fried Bacon

More Fried Macaroni and Cheese (or is that just me)

Fried Fridays is the Friday staple of Alabama’s ginormous sorority row. If you ever have the opportunity to visit, I strongly encourage you to find yourself a sorority gal to invite you to Fried Fridays. I would say you won’t regret your decision, but after you consume 20 pounds of fried food, you just might. Don't forget the ranch (or ketchup), forget the vegetables for a meal, and enjoy.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
