Georgetown Foods To Try Before You Die

Here's your go-to guide for all the best food spots in Georgetown. If you plan your day right, you can hit them all, but be prepared for your wallet and weight to take inversely proportional hits as well.

9 a.m.: Saxby's

As you always should, start your day off with some coffee! This adorable and delicious coffee shop is right outside Georgetown University on O Street and has some of the best caffeinated, frozen drinks and froyo you'll find. Basically, no matter what you buy there, you will not regret it. However, you may regret not buying their signature Kookie Monster. Similar to a frappuccino, this little taste of heaven is the perfect combination of chocolate, Oreos and chocolate chips and will leave a smile plastered on your face for as long as it takes you to finish it.

11 a.m.: El Centro D.F.

This urban Mexican restaurant is the perfect place for an atypical Sunday brunch date. Treat your date and yourself to unlimited mini-meals and non-alcoholic beverages for just $25 (or unlimited alcoholic beverages and mini-meals for $35)! I repeat, UNLIMITED MEXICAN FOOD AND BEVERAGES. Go. Now.

2 p.m.: Georgetown Cupcake, Sprinkles Cupcakes or Baked & Wired

These three delicious bakeries make choosing a dessert location a tough decision. However, because of its TV show and excessive publicity, the line outside Georgetown Cupcake usually wraps around the block, so you might have better luck at one of the other two bakeries. Additionally, Baked & Wired is the only one of the three that sells baked goods other than cupcakes, which may affect your decision if you're craving a different sweet.

4 p.m.: Wingo's

Don't be fooled by its unwelcoming (read: sketchy) exterior. This is a hidden gem that any Georgetown native will highly recommend. Also on O Street, Wingo's is most famous for its delicious batter-dipped French fries. For just $2, you'll receive a cup full of spicy or regular fries (I recommend the spicy) the size of a Big Gulp. Again, a little taste of heaven (and obesity).

7 p.m.: The Tombs Restaurant and Bar

This 36th Street restaurant and bar has a delicious variety of meals for any time of the day. It is especially known for its great brunch and afternoon study snacks for Georgetown students, but is also a dinner option you cannot go wrong with. If you think the food's good, wait until you experience the service. The Tombs hires mostly college students for their waiters, who wear the preppiest attire with bowties for uniforms.

9 p.m.: Hershey's Ice Cream or Thomas Sweet

Both of these ice cream parlors promise nothing but happiness and good old-fashioned ice cream. Hershey's lies on the waterfront of the canal, giving you a great view and a nice walking path if you so desire, but there are no words for Thomas Sweet's ice cream — you just have to experience it. You might just have to get both — I did say your wallet would take a hit.

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.
