The Best Diner Foods
http://www.scrippsnetworksinteractive.com

One of the best things to come out of New Jersey (besides me) is all of the amazing foods. Going to school in Florida, I miss New Jersey foods constantly. I especially miss diner food. No matter the occasion, going to the diner is always appropriate. The first thing I do when I come home for the summer is go to the diner to get some of my favorite foods and catch up with friends. So whether you're from New Jersey or just visiting, here's a list of what foods you need to order the diner.

1. Pancakes

The best meal to get at diners is hands down breakfast. And the staple of any breakfast is pancakes and diners never fail to deliver.

2. Disco Fries

Canada has poutine and Jersey has disco fries. All it is is melted mozzarella cheese and gravy on french fries, but when I'm at school, I have dreams about these bad boys. Any trip to the diner isn't complete without at least one plate of disco fries.

3. A Burger (With All The Fixings)

No one was ever mad when they ordered a burger. While this may not be an exclusively New Jersey food, there is no better place to get one than a diner. While at a diner grease isn't the enemy, it's your best friend.

4. Taylor Ham, Egg And Cheese

Whether you call it Taylor ham or pork roll, one thing all New Jerseyans can agree on is that it's delicious. And to make it an even better Jersey dish, the best way to eat this sandwich is on an everything bagel.

5. Omelettes

You never get more food than you do when you get an omelette. That's why this is one of the best dishes because not only do you get an amazing omelette, you also get toast and home fries. Who could pass up a deal like that? Not me.

6. A Hot Open Turkey Sandwich

If it's not November, but you really miss Thanksgiving, then a hot open sandwich is the best option. It has everything, turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy and cranberry sauce.

7. Desserts

The best part about diners is the endless selection of desserts. From muffins, to cheesecake, to cookies, to milkshakes -- there's an option for everyone. Nothing washes down all the greasy food you just consumed better than a sweet dessert.

Diners are the best part of growing up in New Jersey, and when you get older they're even better because most of them are open 24 hours. So get out there and start eating!

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.
