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.

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.
