Have you ever been hungry but didn't want to go to the same old places? Wanted some great local cuisine without having to leave campus? Well, the answer has been driving around campus all semester: food trucks.

The Student Government Association and Sodexo recently partnered up to bring great local options to you each week!

"Students can find food trucks in various locations all around campus every week, and you can place your order with the new Tapingo app, where you can use your Flex dollars," said SGA Services Vice President Kaylee Brandt.

"Tapingo allows you to order wherever you are on campus and also gives you an estimated time of when your food will be available for pickup," she added.

Sodexo, U of L's food services provider, is more than happy that students all over campus are loving food trucks and the Tapingo app.

"The food trucks on campus have really been great for student satisfaction and having more options for dining," said Jennie DiBeneditto, Sodexo's Marketing Coordinator. "It's great that you can use your Flex points or Cardinal Cash with the new Tapingo app for mobile ordering."

But don't just take my word for it; here's what other students had to say about the service.

"I really like that they brought the food trucks to campus. It adds variety in my choices for lunch, and I like the fact that the companies are local," said Michiel Van Zyl.

This semester, local companies have included Mark's Feed Store, Boss Hog BBQ, Pollo and Johnny's Diner Car.

"I like food trucks because everyone here is really nice," said Isaiah Hein. "It's kind of convenient because there are different spots across campus so they're always near me. You can order from your Tapingo app and it comes up pretty quick."

If you still aren't sold, give it a try! Download the Tapingo app and check out food trucks all over campus every week. Schedules are made available on SGA's Facebook page.

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.
