5 Low-Key Places In New Orleans To Let All Your Stress Go

There is no better feeling than walking into a restaurant or store and feeling a sense of relief. Being able to sit in an open area with friends or family and debrief about your hectic week, makes all the worries in the world disappear. If you are in desperate need of a place to let all your stress go, I highly suggest checking out these five spots, and trust me, you'll be aesthetically pleased.

1. French Truck Coffee

The bright yellow house with a royal blue door and white rocking chairs just screams come inside. You can enjoy a delicious coffee or tea with a pastry and sit inside under the lit and wooden interior or outside under the gazebo. The open windows on the side make the restaurant light and breezy. I would definitely recommend a warm cappuccino with almond milk and a blueberry muffin. Take a walk down Dryades Street, it's a hard place to miss.

2. Raw Republic

Upon entering, you would have no idea what the place can hold. There's a staircase in the back that connects you to a whole new world. The mix of the one blue wall, marble, wood, and greenery brings a calming essence to the acai bowl experience. The all white chairs and cushions brings you to peace and serenity.

3. Perch

People don't associate a furniture store s a place where you can find peace, but thats exactly what Perch furniture shop does. The space is made up of a few different rooms filled with random collectables. Normally, you wouldn't think in a million years to pair skulls with butterflies or rhinoceros with candles, but when all these different items come together, it creates an extremely calming atmosphere. You have to keep circling back around the store, just in case you don't miss something.

4. Drip Affogato

The all white and wood color scheme makes you feel refreshed. Just like the ice cream, this place is almost too perfect to touch. If you're not in the mood for ice cream, but still want something sweet, I highly recommend their ice coffee. Next time you are near Lee Circle, you have to go, because it is definitely not a spot you want to miss.

5. Gallery B Fos.

You may be tempted to walk past this when exploring Magazine Street, but you'll regret it. This art gallery features some of the most incredible artwork I have ever seen. The whole entire gallery is filled with colorful, abstract paintings. The contrast between the colors and the all white walls makes you want to sit and stare at her paintings for hours. The picture above is one of my favorite paintings, but even a painting can't describe how magical this place is.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
