An Ode To Cookout
Cookout

What would a college experience be without late night trips to Cookout with your friends on a weekly basis? Well, probably not a very good college experience. Cookout was great in high school, but I never realized how truly great it was until I moved to college. There is nothing quite like pulling up to the drive-thru at 1 a.m. when you’re desperately craving chicken nuggets and seeing that glowing menu just waiting for you.

Cookout, thank you for having the cheapest prices around. You give hope to so many broke (and hungry) college students everywhere. I can’t say I feel bad for the amount of money I’ve spent at Cookout, because my order is always cheap and never disappointing. Only have $5? No worries, the possibilities are endless. Whether you’re feeling a burger and fries, chicken tenders or just a milkshake, you’ll always leave with a full stomach and a happy heart.

Let’s just talk about the quality of the food. Normally with these prices you would probably expect something mediocre, on a good day. But not at Cookout. I will never forget the first time I tried it, thinking it was just some overrated cheap burger place. Boy was I wrong. You can always count on your food being fresh and your milkshake being perfectly mixed.

One of the best parts of Cookout might be the fact that they are open at just about any hour of the day. Maybe it’s midnight and you realize you haven’t had a chance to eat dinner. Or maybe you’ve let almost the entire night go by without realizing it and all you can think about is getting a milkshake at 4 a.m. You know where to go.

Cookout, thank you for everything. Thank you for being there for me during the darkest hours of the night when I wanted nothing more than some quality french fries and honey mustard. Thank you for some of the best service, even when it’s a Saturday night and the drive-thru line is wrapped around the building, or when my friends and I pull up reading off five different orders at once. Thank you for being my place. You are a blessing to every college town in the south, and you are always appreciated.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.

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.
