5 Free Food And Drink Deals Every New Orleanian Should Know About

As a college student on a budget, I’m always looking to find the best deals on food and drinks in New Orleans. In the process, I’ve discovered that there are several establishments in this city that offer food and drinks ABSOLUTELY FREE. Thank me now. Your bank account (and your parents) will be thanking you later.

1. Free beer Fridays at New Orleans Lager and Ale Brewing Company

Every Friday between 2 p.m. 3 p.m., enjoy two free beers when you show your valid 21+ ID. And since you saved your money on the drinks, indulge in McClures BBQ as a drunken snack. The mac and cheese is to DIE for. You can also enjoy a free tour of the brewery while you’re there!


2. Free oysters on Fridays at Le Bon Temps Roule

If you like oysters (and who doesn't?), head over to this cool bar on Fridays to enjoy some for free while you listen to some awesome live music.


3. Free appetizers on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at Il Posto Cafe

This cute and quaint uptown cafe is a great place to grab a bagel, a cup of coffee, and read a book any day of the week. But on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, this place is a hot spot. Along with their happy hour deals on wine and beer from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., they also serve free appetizers to their lucky customers. Some past free items have included bruschetta, roasted brussels sprouts, and veggie chips. Cheap booze and free food—what can get any better?


4. Free Sunday dinner at the Hare Krishna Temple

If you like Indian food and a little bit of spirituality, then this is the place for you. This temple serves a free vegetarian feast called prasadam, or "spiritual food," every Sunday at 5:30 p.m.


5. Free dinner every Friday at Handsome Willy's

Head here between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. for a free dinner that is actually substantial. They switch off between steak tacos, fried pork chops, burgers and brisket. Did I mention this takes place during happy hour? And it used to be a brothel, so it's pretty darn awesome.

Now you can never go hungry (or thirsty), even when your bank account goes down to zero.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
