A lesson in culinary survival.

Intro To Food On Georgetown's Campus

Here's everything you need to know about dining on Georgetown's campus.

1. Leo's

Leo's has a bad reputation primarily because it's the only official dining hall on campus, which tends to get repetitive. However, it's a staple accepted by many students. More seniors (SEAL's—Seniors Eating At Leo's) than you realize go every day by choice. Accepts meal swipes. Late Night Leo's (they're open extra hours on certain weeknights) isn't a half-bad study break.

2. Einstein's Bagels

This is the only establishment besides Leo's that accepts meal swipes. The drawbacks are that it gets crowded and occasionally runs out of food. Two locations: Regents and Car Barn. Regents is grab and go (and has Mrs. Franky, an amazing human being), while at Car Barn they prepare your bagel for you.

3. Hoya Court

Home to Elevation Burger, Subway, and Salad Creations. Not usually busy, except for that one week during which they accepted meal swipes. Located in the Leavey Center.

4. Starbucks

Typical Starbucks. Usually a medium-length line, and die-hard customers wait outside for it to open every morning. Also located in the Leavey Center, down a hallway and around the corner from Hoya Court.

5. Cosi

Not terribly busy, also not a bad study spot. Located in the Leavey Center, around the corner from Hoya Court and before the Starbucks.

6. Bulldog Tavern

Strategically created to keep students on campus for dinner. Tries to be fancy. Located in HFSC right next to the freshman dorm New South.

7. Vittles

It's a smaller-scale CVS that's 80 percent food and run completely by students. Open until 1 a.m. Located in the Leavey Center.

8. Hoya Snaxa

Basically a mini 7-Eleven right by the football field. Also student-run. A decent variety of drinks and snacks, but the highlight is a freezer full of Ben & Jerry's. Mmm...Americone Dream.

8. Hilltoss

The CORP (student-run organization in charge of Vittles, Snaxa, and the coffee shops) takes on Sweet Green (the M Street salad favorite). Known for salads, smoothies, and—most importantly—amazing bread. Located in the HFSC.

9. CORP Coffee Shops

Uncommon Grounds, Mug, Midnight Mug, Dr. Mug, etc. They all start to blend together, unless, of course, you work for the CORP. Purchased more for its caffeine than taste, the coffee is sufficient to fuel sleep-deprived college students. Located all over campus, most notably, the ICC, Lau 2 (the social floor of the library), and the Leavey Center.

10. Epi

Sweet sweet Epi. Home to drunchers and studiers alike. Plus people who work at the hospital eat here every day. Offers sushi (Peter = bae), pizza, sandwiches, salad and soup bar, smoothies, milkshakes, hopes, dreams, and quesadillas. Located underneath Darnall.

Special Mention: Although technically not on campus, look out for Wisey's, Wingo's, Sweet Green, Good Stuff, and of course, Tombs. I'll probably make a sequel article in their honor.

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.
