My Mexican Food Faves

Life without Mexican food is like, no life at all.

I enjoy a lot of different types of food. As of right now, my favorite cuisine is Mexican. It probably will be for awhile too, because Mexican food is very yummy. I typically do not order the same thing every time, because there are so many great options! Some of my frequent choices though are chimichangas, burrito bowl, and tacos. Any and all options are usually great. I have visited several Mexican restaurants over the course of my life, and it is really hard to pick which one is my favorite. Each one has specific things that stand out as positive, and some that are not so great. I will say however, that I had the best Mexican food in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I had a chicken enchilada with some red sauce on top. The red sauce was so spicy! However, it was definitely money well spent.

Las Trancas

This is a very popular restaurant back in Ripley, my hometown. I actually used to work here one summer as a hostess. I know some people have had bad experiences here, so it is understandable to be hesitant about eating here. However, my experiences have been rather positive. I think my favorite dish would be the shrimp fajita burrito. It's a chance to eat some shrimp that is not insanely expensive.

El Ranchito

This restaurant is located right next to the football stadium at Marshall University. A prime location for college students, and they have given really great discounts on certain days. The food is typically served fairly quick and I haven't been disappointed. I will say that their taco meat is a little dry for my taste. It still is not that bad though. Their salsa isn't as spicy for those who don't like spicy things.

Margarita's

This is another great choice that's fairly close to campus. I have gotten tacos and fajitas from here in the few times I've ate there. Everything was delicious, and the staff is so friendly. If I had to pick a favorite, this would probably be it.

Chipotle

The first time I ate at Chipotle was actually right before I started college at Marshall University. I had a chicken burrito bowl and really enjoyed it. I appreciated the fact that I was able to have a say in how much of what was being put in. I really wasn't into guacamole until about a year ago, but now I gotta say that Chipotle has some good guac. However, is $2 for a scoop on a bowl really necessary? I mean, yeah you get what you pay for but seriously? $2? The queso isn't bad. However, paying extra makes my wallet sad.

Qdoba

I actually tried Qdoba for the first time at a graduation party. I again got a burrito bowl and really liked it. Quest and guacamole were both great as well. Qdoba is actually where I tried guacamole at for the first time. The fact that queso and guacamole are both FREE makes my heart and wallet happy. I know several people that love Qdoba because of all the variety the menu has. I personally could care less if there are quesadillas or not on the menu. I'm sure that they are fantastic, but I stick with my bowl. I'm just basic I guess.

Taco Bell

I gotta add this one to the list, even if food critics might say otherwise. Taco Bell has always been a favorite of mine, even when I wasn't crazy about Mexican food, cause believe it or not that was a thing at one point. Taco Bell is cheap and a great place to go for a quick bite after work or to catch up with friends. I'm also open to trying different things there. I used to always get the same thing, but lately I've been switching it up.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
