It is well known that Virginia Tech has one of the best dining centers in the country. From lobster to cheese fries- you can get it all. However, the tiny town of Blacksburg is no joke when it comes to food. There is something yummy for any set of taste buds. Here are a few places any foodie should hit up in Blacksburg, Va.

1. Cabo Fish Taco

Buffalo Shrimp Tocos- YUM!! This place cannot be beat. Chips + Salsa = AMAZING. There is a wide variety of specialty tacos and quesadillas that would make any mouth water. While this is probably your most expensive meal of the week/month. It is still a great meal for under 20 with a tip. Check out Toco Tuesday, and do yourself a favor, order the Spinach Dip.

2. D.P. Dough

I don't care what anyone says — this is the best place in Blacksburg. Cheap, yummy, and filling. D.P. Dough is the perfect place to feed your 3 a.m. cravings. Open late, this Main Street eat offers a great selection of calzones. Don't forget to add cheese tots and cinnamon sticks!

3. Gobble Cakes

If you love cream cheese frosting, you're in luck! Gobble Cakes offers a daily variety of yummy cupcakes. My personal favorite is the cookies and cream. What a great way to treat yourself after a big test. Remember to grab some for friends!

4. Green's Grill and Sushi Bar

Greens is the only acceptable way to get your sushi fix in Blacksburg. The setting is a casual sit down great for celebrating birthdays (under 21). They even have Taco Tuesday specials!

5. El Rodeo

Nothing much to say about this place. You know if you live here.

6. Benny Marzano's

Pizza lovers unite. Ever imagine eating pizza the size of your head? Well, hit up Benny's. This is probably the most overrated eat in town. However, it never disappoints. The line from 12-2 a.m. is basically ridiculous, but at $5 it is a night out staple. This little shop is a great place for meeting friends, starting the night, ending the night, or a percentage night for your organization. Everyone. Loves. Benny's.

5. The Cellar

This place is a hole-in-the-wall bar at night, but the cheese fries are to die for. Literally. They're amazing, but are probably going to give you a stroke. Loaded with cheese and bacon. This is a plate large enough to share, even though you won't want to.

6. Joe's Diner

If you have the patience to wait in line on weekend mornings, this is hands down the best breakfast place in town. The eggs are like eating little clouds.

7. PK's Bar and Grill

Half off wing bites on Wednesday... is your mouth watering? Order in or carry out this place has your classic American favorites.

8. Carol Lee Donuts

This place is amazing. They only take cash, but they are very worth it. Warm, soft, and yummy.

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.
