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.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
