The TCU 22: The Places We Gain It

The TCU 22: The Places We Gain It

1. Chick-Fil-A

Yes, especially being a freshman and realizing that BLUU food is nearly inedible, this is where I spend my time. But you have to admit, the eight piece and regular fry with Chick-Fil-A sauce makes you just want to crawl into bed and cry for a little, right?

2. Dutch’s

This is the only place to order a burger with a side of heartburn and feel good about it. I would want the bacon bleu burger to be my last meal on earth in all honesty.

3. Whataburger

This is the only place you can go at 3 a.m. every Sunday morning for three honey butter chicken biscuits and a large fry for that “Idk if I want breakfast or dinner” mood.

4. Toppers

I will admit that my suite-mates and I engaged in Toppers Tuesday every Tuesday this semester, where pizza was buy one get one free. I don’t regret a thing

5. Fuzzy’s

Thank you, TCU, for placing this delicious establishment within walking distance of campus. I want a bathtub in my room solely so I can bathe in your queso.

6. Chipotle

Yes I know guacamole is extra, and yes, I would like five scoops of it on top of chicken, pinto beans, brown rice, cheese, and pico de gallo in a burrito bowl to go.

7. Joe T. Garcia's

Holy cow, I did not ever expect the food to be so good. Also, serving sizes are huge, so make sure you’re wearing loose clothing when you walk in.

8. Mellow Mushroom

I remember the first time I walked into Mellow Mushroom. I remember thinking: is this what heaven looks like?

9. Kona Grill

Again, my suite-mates and I engaged in another weekly ritual: Wasabi Wednesday. Though it is not quite as unhealthy as Toppers Tuesday, we can’t say it's salad.

10. Pizza Snob

Okay, no lie: best pizza I have ever had.

11. Starbucks

I walked on to campus in August with over $125 of Starbucks graduation gift cards. Guess how much I have left.

12. Ol' South Pancake House

Never have I ever been able to get into this selective breakfast establishment on a Sunday morning – but now it's on my bucket list.

13. Buffalo Bros

So I am sad to say I have never tried Buffalo Bros, but this is where you can always find my group of friends. “Where are y—wait, never mind.”

14. Raising Canes

When you run out of campus cash but want something that tastes a lot like Chick-Fil-A, this is your place.


15. Smoothie King

What? No. I lose weight going in there. Keep telling yourself that.

16. Taco Bell

Honestly have no idea where one is around campus, but I constantly hear people wanting a Baja Blast, so…

17. Sweet Sammies

So we’ve eaten breakfast, two lunches, and four dinners. Dessert?



18. Potbelly's

I had my very first potbelly sandwich the other day. WARNING: once experienced, you will always want more.

19. Einstein Bros. Bagels

This is the most conveniently located establishment adjacent to my dorm. Thank you God for giving me the gift of a bagel thin with nova lox.

20. iHop

When you’re up studying until 4 a.m. and you’re kind of like, hey, maybe if I just go eat breakfast now, I can skip sleeping altogether.

21. Union Grounds

“Hey Big, can you pay for my Doritos, M&M’s, Easy Mac, Bagel Bites, Steel City Pops, Ben & Jerry’s, and coffee from market square?” “Is that all?” -- actual conversation that happened inside of union grounds.

22. Market Square

We were all at this point where this is where we ate all day every day. It was for one of two reasons: either we spent all the rest of our money at one of the establishments listed above, or we just really missed Cindy.


So thanks, TCU, for the 22.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:
