I love food. There is nothing that pleases me more than hearing, “I’ve got food for you.” I mean, alright, there are some other things that I love to hear as well, but honestly, food is the best thing there is. Though I love all types of food, as a Pakistani, Indian/Pakistani dishes hold a very big place close to my heart. Since I am leaving for Atlanta next week for college, I can’t help but think about and already miss these places where I love to get my fix.

1. Chatkhara Grill

Located off of Highway 6, this restaurant is a heaven for anyone who loves biryani (which I’m sure is everyone because who wouldn’t?) And even if you’re not a big fan of biryani for whatever reason, they have an amazing selection of other dishes including vegetarian options as well.

2. Royal Restaurant

Located on Bissonnet and Kirkwood, Royal has the best Chicken 65 I have tried anywhere. Apart from that, they also have amazing Karhai which is also one of their highlight dishes. They also have a wide variety of vegetarian dishes. Their biryani is not as great as Chatkhara Grill, but primarily because it is not as spicy. So if you are someone who cannot handle too much spice, then Royal is a great place for you, not to mention, highly affordable.

3. Aga’s Restaurant

Aga’s has great food all around and also quite well known for its high-quality food. My favorite dish there is their nihari which I can never have enough of. Because of its popularity, it can be overcrowded sometimes so there’s a waiting period to be seated. But since the food is so good, the wait is definitely worth it.

4. Bundu Khan Kabab House

If you like meat, then this place is your heaven. Bundu Khan has the best kababs and tikkas in town. I can’t even describe the feeling when you eat that first bite of the tikka boti and the flavor explodes in your mouth. Simply indescribable, and something I will miss a little too much when I leave. The one thing that bothers me is that the place is the size of a small hut, so unless you get there super early or go on a weekday, you will have to wait a while to get seated.

5. Shahnai Restaurant

Shehnai is catered towards a larger group and has medium spicy food. It’s a buffet style, but the option to order food is also available. Their buffet has quite a lot of options including vegetarian and nonvegetarian options. The ambiance of the environment is also great for a quiet family night out or a loud dinner.

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.

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.
