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

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.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
