20 Fair Foods With Recipes, For The People Missing Everything Deep Fried On A Stick

Something many of us Americans look forward to each year is state and county fairs. Some people go to the fair for the rides, the games, or the petting zoo, but the majority of us go because of the food.

Due to the pandemic, most fairs this year were canceled, but not without some push back from the people. Like most things this year though, the people lost, and many of us had to go without our yearly funnel cakes, pizza on a stick, and cotton candy.

To help with your cravings, I compiled a list of some of the top fair foods and their recipes so you can get your fried food grub on from home this year. Hopefully, one of these hits the spot just right and holds you over until next year.

So, although many of us didn't have the opportunity to attend our local and state fairs this year, hopefully making some of these recipes will make you feel like you did. Now go and make something sweet and fried, because honestly, there's nothing better.

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.
