I know you're guilty of eating your dinners here more than you want to claim.

9 College Fast Food Guilty Pleasures
Stuffpoint

As a college student, I am guilted into eating the majority of my meals on campus due to the outrageous price my parents pay for my meal plan. On the rare occasion that my friends or I have the extra time or cash to eat off campus, there are quite a few places that are too good and too cheap to pass up. I asked around campus for some fast food guilty pleasures, and the responses literally made me hangry (hungry + angry). So for you starving college kids, if you haven't hit any of these places up, you need to do so ASAP. Try not to let your mouth water or your stomach growl as you read about these.

1. Cookout

A college town favorite, you legitimately cannot pass up 99 cent chicken nuggets or a BBQ plate consisting of barbecue pork, cole slaw, hush puppies and french fries for less that five dollars- not to mention there are too many milkshakes to count that can satisfy any sweet tooth.

2. Sonic Drive-In

Even though Sonic is nothing new or fancy, there's just something about a 6 pack mozzarella stick and some tater tots that can make any long night studying worth it.

3. Gigi's Cupcakes

With over 100 locations mostly in the eastern/southeastern United States, Gigi's has become a fast favorite for gourmet cupcakes. You get more icing than your body should be able to handle, but the sugar rush is worth it. Tip: rip the bottom half of the cupcake off and place it on top of the icing to make a cupcake sandwich to save yourself an icing mess!

4. Raising Cane's

Chicken and crinkle fries and Texas toast and cole slaw. Enough said.

5. Jimmy John's

I didn't become a big sandwich person until college. How can you pass up food being delivered to your door faster than you can close out of Netflix and make it to your dorm lobby?

6. Buffalo Wild Wings

Call me lame as heck, but I just had BWW for the first time last week. Boneless Thursday is my new favorite day of the week (don't forget to post a Snapchat story in your BWW crown because if you didn't post then it didn't happen).

7. Taco Bell

There are far and few things more satisfying than sitting in your room and watching a football game while munching on a Doritos Locos Taco and sipping on a Mountain Dew Baja Blast. Just try it once for me.

8. Popeyes

If you can't go home for Sunday lunch with your fam, just grab a group of friends and head to Popeyes for some chicken and green beans. Close enough.

9. Insomnia Cookies

End your fast food indulgence with some huge, warm, gooey Insomnia cookies. They deliver until 3 AM, so late night cravings can be satisfied before you can even get your shoes on.

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.

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.

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.
