My Favorite Spots To Eat On Syracuse University Campus

No matter what your mood is, you won't have to go very far to find something good.

To all my fellow students and foodies who are looking to take a break from dining hall food and ramen, I have compiled a list of the best food on campus for all types of moods. Whether you are heading down to Kimmel late at night or strolling through Marshall Street during the day, these yummy meals and snacks will definitely hit the spot!

If you are trying to be healthy…

Poke Bowls at Bleu Monkey

If you are in a rush, but still want something healthy, Bleu Monkey is your spot! You can choose from white rice, brown rice, zucchini noodles, or romaine lettuce as your base, 1-3 types of protein, and as many toppings as you'd like.

King David's

A lot of people don't know about the hidden gem that is King David's. That is because in 2010, it was forced to move upstairs when Chipotle came to Marshall Street. They serve Greek and Middle Eastern food, with lots of healthy options. I like to get an order of falafel and one of their salads.

Strong Hearts

If you are vegan or just enjoy vegan food like me, Strong Hearts is your best bet. I mostly go for their milkshakes and smoothies, which are AMAZING, but they have an eclectic menu of breakfast, lunch, and dinner options which are very good as well. My favorite milkshake is the John Brown, which is basically cookies and cream, but I have tried many flavors and they are all so good, you wouldn't even know they are vegan. I also highly recommend trying their cookies if you are in the mood for a sweet treat.

If you want something cheesy and delicious...

Quesadillas at Schine

For some reason, Schine quesadillas are no ordinary quesadillas. I personally get mine with chicken and extra salsa.

Chipotle

Chipotle is a classic and it's always good, but beware of long lines during dinner rush hours. I suggest ordering ahead on Tapingo so you can skip the line and save yourself what could be a solid 30-60 minutes.

Calzones at Acropolis

If you are a true cheese lover, Acropolis plain calzones are perfect for you. They are quite heavy, but so worth it.

If you want some late night grub...

Insomnia Cookies

Everyone gains the freshman 15 in different ways. Mine was a result of Insomnia's amazing cookies. On a cold Syracuse night, nothing is better than one of their warm S'mores cookies.

Calios

Calios has something for everyone, with the longest menu of different types of calzones that I have ever seen. It is open until 4 am every day of the week, making it a popular late night spot. My favorites are the Mac N' Cheese and BBQ Chicken flavors.

Kimmel

Kimmel Food Court has lots of options ranging from Mexican food at Queso's to milkshakes at Haagen Dazs. I typically opt for the chicken tenders and waffles fries at Trio's.

If you want something to sip on…

Cafe Kubal

In the wintertime, a chai tea latte from Kubal will warm you right up. I think it's much better than Starbucks (sorry to the Starbucks lovers).

Unique Tea House

Unique Tea house is popular for its bubble tea, which is delicious. I also love their coconut smoothies.

I hope you find these suggestions helpful! Again, they are just my personal opinions and I only mentioned the places that I frequently visit. Us Syracuse University students are spoiled with so many great options of places to eat on campus and I am always searching for the best spot to try next. No matter how you are feeling, I can guarantee that you will find something that will satisfy you.

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

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.
