There are only so many ways you can put cheese on bread. Around this time every year, the thought of finals is looming and there is nothing more appealing than a great dinner. Here are 15 places you should try if you're at the end of your pizza rope.

1. Spicy Nine

With a combination of sushi and fusion, Spicy Nine is a great break from a cheesy monotony. Best of all, Spicy Nine has buy-one-get-one sushi rolls every night of the week. Need a break from studying? Take a night, dress up (or not, it doesn't matter) and get some sushi.

2. Al's Burger Shack

As arguably one of the best burgers in Chapel Hill, this stop is worth the wait. This adorable burger shack is great Chapel Hill getaway. Don't let the line deter you, it goes quicker than you think it will. After all, a line out the door is a good sign.

3. 411 West Cafe

While 411 West may also be considered Italian, their great atmosphere and classy options make it a refreshing change from the average pizza joint. Visit 411 West for delicious pasta and signature wines.

4. Buns

5. Sup Dogs

There are few greater places to watch a game and hang with friends than Sup Dogs. This All-American hot dog restaurant has great food and is open half of the night. Skip the pizza order, take a break, and visit Sup Dogs for dinner.

If you're a fan of breakfast, Breadmen's (located on Rosemary street) is the way to go. Stop here and you are bound to have a great filling breakfast all within reasonable prices. With quick service and many options, there are few better breakfast stops just a short walk from campus.

While it may seem unoriginal, Panera is not only a great place to eat but a great place to study as well. Whether you're looking for a salad or sandwich, change your study atmosphere and get off campus a bit.

11. Sutton's Drug Store

If you aren't the biggest fan of Cosmic, Moes is just a short walk down the street. This fast food option is widely underrated but a great option on Franklin.

13. Midici Italian Kitchen

This relatively new Chapel Hill Italian restaurant may have pizza but they have 1,000 other options as well. They're a great stop for a nice dinner out or a break from dining hall foods. Take a break and enjoy the great atmosphere and centralized location of Midici.

14. Crossroads

If you're looking for a nice night out, a place to go with family, or a chance to go inside of the Carolina Inn, this may be your place. With beautiful surroundings and award-winning food, there is no greater stress relief.

15. Lula's

This new addition to Franklin Street introduces farm fresh vegetables and home-style cooking to an otherwise fast food world. Take a break from the junk and refuel your brain with some great, simple food.

No matter what you choose, there are too many options on Franklin to be indecisive. Take a break from the pizza and treat yourself to another Chapel Hill tradition. After all, how many pizza places can one town take?

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

SUNY Binghamton

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
