On a Tropical Island

What better way to feel like you are on a tropical island then a smoothie? There are numerous smoothie places to choose from on campus, but one of the best is Jamba Juice. There are so many choices to choose from and you can pick which everyone you would like. You can pick from mango smoothies to strawberry or pineapple smoothies. There is every sort of fruit you would like to eat from all over the orld and from every tropical island. The energy bowls at Jamba Juice will make you feel like you are eating breakfast in front of an expansive ocean. Pairing the energy bowl with a fresh squeezed juice will make you feel like the ocean is right next to you.

Roaming around Japan

From the first steps into the restaurant, you will feel like you have transported across the land and ocean to Japan. The restaurant is called Sakanaya in Champaign. The miso soup will warm your soul on a cold winter day when you really need to get away from studying and take a break. The classic rolls are great if you want something light and don’t want anything adventurous. When you want adventure and want the real experience of being transported to another country, try some of the signature rolls. There is even food for the non-sushi lovers. They have noodles as well as other entrees that will blow your mind with how delicious they are.

Say "Ciao" to Champaign and "Hello" to Italy

Minneci’s in Champaign has some of the best pasta I have ever had. You can either be transported to Italy at the restaurant or have Italy delivered right to your dorm or apartment. I have only had Italy delivered to my dorm, but it is like bringing Italy to your room. The smells fill your room with the scents of Italy. You can have all your favorite Italian foods brought right to you in this little town called Champaign.

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.
