8 Places To Go To Avoid Being Let Down By The Dining Hall

In This Article:

When dining hall food has got you down, don't hesitate to try these options that are right by campus or can be delivered right to your door (literally). I can speak to this because I currently just finished my second Honeygrow order of the week. Stir fry and veggies and rice oh my!

Panera Delivery

Panera's new delivery option is your new best friend. After a long day of classes and clubs and all of the other extracurriculars you busy people do, you might just not feel like driving to Panera. Driving there is half the battle and then the quest for a parking spot and fresh bread begins. If you're really craving bread though, don't order after 2pm because they stop baking in the late afternoon. There's nothing worse than driving to Panera fully expecting a bread bowl for your soup and realizing you must succumb to take the ordinary bowl.

Mac N Cheese Pizza

The greatest combo in the universe. Need I say more? I walked into Snap one day a few weeks ago and surveyed the menu to find my two guilty pleasures combined into one. My mind immediately wandered to who the wonderful human being is who thought of this beautiful concoction and whether or not there was any way to thank them. This is truly one of mankind's most treasured gifts.

Vic's Sushi

If you're craving a little something healthy, try Vic's Sushi. Its conveniently located next to the favorite of everyone college student who has every pulled an all nighter. As you can see, this principle applies to almost the entire student body that makes up Nova Nation. From our city's own Philadelphia roll or the classic California roll, there's an option for all of your sushi needs.

Honeygrow

Honey grow is your one stop shop for all things stir fry. Nothing makes my heart happier when I'm hungry than being able to customize my order. Let your creativity run wild and challenge yourself to include another green or colorful topping on your rice each time. If you're not feeling all the extras, Honeygrow also has a variety of delicious sauces to try depending on your mood

Mac n Cheese Bites

While Campco's claim to fame from Villanovans comes from no other than the silly fries, mac n cheese bites are arguably just as cheesy if not more than the fries. If that doesn't sell you, they come in cute lil nuggets. The breading melts into and soaks into the cheese without all the heavy grease. Its a win win. You can probably tell by now that there are not enough words in the English language to describe how much I love mac n cheese.

Quinoa Salad

While Snap thrives in the pizza department, they also excel in a really green way. For a small investment of 10 dollars, you can create a colorful sad that looks like it belongs on the cover of Food Network magazine. These are the covers that have the extraordinary ability to make your mouth water from a single picture.

Basil

When the dining hall general tso's chicken isn't available, have no fear because Basil is here. Basil offers a variety of options from the transitional fried rice to kung pao chicken. The saltiness of the chicken combined with the tang of the soy sauce will send your taste buds into never-ending happy dance.

Burrito bowl with spicy queso

Need an extra kick to get you into the mood for studying? Head down to Qdoba. Its literally right down the street from campus so you have no excuse. Make a night of it with your friends by walking to Qdoba and stopping for dessert at Hope's which is right across the street. Qdoba has a variety of options for vegans and veggie lovers. In case you didn't know this, Qdoba is truly superior to Chipotle. Don't even try to argue with me.

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.
