A Love Letter to Billy Jacks and Jack Browns

It was love at first bite.

A Love Letter to Billy Jacks and Jack Browns
Brigid Dass

It was love at first sight. Just like your typical romance story -- boy meets girl, girl meets burger, and the rest was history. Now I could tell you why I love you so much, but I could talk forever. So here are just a few of my favorite things about you.

1. Brunch.

You accept me for my hungover self every Saturday and Sunday morning. You open your arms to me and my friends along with mimosas and morning ciders. Your biscuits and gravy, donuts, or breakfast sliders make my headache go away and my heart happy. You are the reason I leave my bed on the weekends.

2. Greg Brady.

You have introduced me to one of the most important men in my life. His name is Greg Brady and he is rich, meaty, and just plain delicious. With mac n' cheese and barbecue chips you are my foodie dreams brought to life. "Got along before I met you. Couldn't get along without you, now."

3. Sticky Nugs.

Wow, thanks BJs & JBs for giving me the happiness that is eating sticky nugs. I love them in all shapes, sizes, and flavors. You showed me to not discriminate against any flavor and to be adventurous to all the house sauces that are offered. Thank you for showing me the sticky nug world.

4. Fried Oreos and donuts.

You showed me the dirty girl scout donut and a fried Oreo, and as a result, changed my world. I will save room just for them, which is rare at other restaurants. Sometimes I may even get them as an appetizer just because I can't wait 'til dessert. You showed me to live on the wild side and get those sweets.

5. Downtown happiness.

You brought me to downtown Harrisonburg and have helped introduce me to new friends. For instance, if I did not go downtown all the time to visit you, I wouldn't see my dear friend Kline's Ice Cream as often. Thanks for showing me how cool downtown Harrisonburg is, and making me fall in love with my JMU home even more.

So, Billy and Jack, you have made me fall in love with food, booze, and people even more. I love that you accept everyone who walks in your door and won't let us leave until we are full and happy. I have heard you are in Richmond now, too, and I can't wait to pay a visit.

Shoutout to Brigid Dass for the mouthwatering pic of the Greg Brady.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
