6 Places To Eat In Athens, Georgia

This past weekend I traveled to Athens, Georgia to visit a friend from high school. We saw a concert at the Georgia Theater, went to the Botanical Gardens, and shopped around the downtown area. But out of all of this, the food was definitely the best part. Think some of the best food you will ever put in your mouth ever. Ever. Keep reading for a list of restaurants we visited in the classic city.

1. White Tiger

You'll truly feel like a local eating at the quaint White Tiger. When we went they were out of barbecue (gasp), but I've been told their barbecue is to die for.

What I ate: Grilled Pimento cheese sandwich

2. Donderos'

Visit this local, family-owned cafe for breakfast, lunch, or brunch. It's located in an old house, and the owners work around the natural infrastructure of the house. I had the hardest time deciding what to order because everything on the menu sounds good.

What I ate: Salmon Salad Sandwich and Cherry Limeade

3. Ike and Jane

Known for their cereal-covered donuts, Ike and Jane will make your morning with their fantastic breakfast. The donuts are insanely cheap—it's practically guaranteed that your entire breakfast will be under $5.

What I ate: Chocolate glazed donut with sprinkles, orange juice

4. Mama's Boy

This was probably the best meal that I ate during the entire trip. They serve breakfast, lunch, and brunch. Pro tip: if you're going for breakfast or brunch, get to Mama's Boy early. We went around 7:30 a.m. and it was surprisingly filling. The biscuits are massive, so come ready to chow down.

What I ate: Pimento cheese and egg biscuit with a side of fruit, coffee

5. Condor Chocolates

Enjoy Ecuadorian chocolate in Georgia. Everything is homemade and the atmosphere is so welcoming that you could sit there for hours. From milkshakes to truffles to chocolate bars to a scoop of ice cream with espresso poured on top, you'll be sure to find something that suits your appetite.

What I ate: Caramel truffle, chai truffle, mocha truffle

6. Ted's Most Best

Known for its pizza, Ted's Most Best has everything. Sit outside on the patio and enjoy the weather and the bocce court. Fun fact: the building is an old tire shop!

What I ate: Baked goat cheese salad, peach sangria

One of the best things about Athens is that you will never run out of new restaurants to try. So hit up these places and take it all in. Happy eating!

AI music threatens creativity

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.

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.
