A Senior's Thoughts On The 12 Dining Choices On Troy University's Campus

Use your flex points wisely.

After four years on campus, I have learned which restaurants are good to go to, and which to stay more away from. These are in no particular order, so don't @ me on where something falls on the list.

1. Saga (Troy Dining Hall)

Do people still call it Saga? This place is the most popular among freshman (mostly due to no choice) and popular among half the campus on Wednesday due to the smell of fried chicken circulating the air. Sage has the most variety and the sole reason why the ominous "Freshman 15" hit me like a truck (along with the Saga Sh*ts). There is most likely something there that you will like. My favorites were always Megellians and cheese quesadillas.

2. Moe's

You can easily spend every single flex point you have here. It is one of the more expensive places by far, but most of the food can last for two meals if you do it right. You can never really go wrong with chips and queso though or a chicken rice bowl.

3. Boar's Head (Saga side)

I actually prefer this Boar's Head compared to the one in TC. Everything somehow taste fresher and I don't know how to explain it. The sandwiches are good, and for the most part the workers are pretty friendly. I highly recommend the BLTA croissant. It is basically a millennial's dream.

4. "Starbucks"

Everyone calls it Starbucks, but it really is not. The stuff is okay, you can't use flex points. But a good alternative if you don't mind paying real money to avoid the wait at Einsteins.

5. Einsteins Bros

Well since I already mentioned it, lets talk about it. They are well known for having rude staff and long wait times. I can never be mad at those bagels though. Especially the pizza bagels. While I never really get the specialty coffee (I don't like sweet coffee personally), their grab and go based coffee makes it easy and quick to get that caffeine kick...until they run out at 10 pm and you have to fight with them to refill those canisters.

6. Mein Bowl

It has been four years and I am still unsure of the correct pronunciation of Mein Bowl. It seems to be a toss up of "Mine Bowl" and "Main Bowl" whenever I ask someone. Mein Bowl is that place that many of us keep going back to, even if it makes our stomachs turn. You really can't stop eating it. Also, keep an eye out for the rare green beans they serve. The absolute best.

7. Steak & Shake

It is a drastic improvement to its predecessor, A&W. I'm a fan of the $3.99 chicken fingers, but that is just me. I just wish they had more of the menu options that are offered at the main stores.

8. Boar's Head (TC)

Yeah, it's there.

9. Grab n Go Stations

The best one is Herb's Place just due to its biggest variety (though very overpriced on some items). The one in MSCX would probably be next. The one in TC never seems to be as stocked as it once was.

10. Chick-Fil-A...Express

I laugh at the express part everytime. It has always been a gamble on if you were going to get raw nuggets or not. It is a risk that many are always willing to take. I've watched people wait for 30+ minutes for their food, and their dedication is something I strive to have.

11. Great American Cookies/ Marble Slab

Just some more reasons while the Freshman 15 has never left my body.

12. Market Place

R.I.P Market Place. You are missed and loved and will never be forgotten. The only real food that was on campus.

Honestly, there is something good about each place, and stuff that can be improved. Just make sure to check all your food before consumption, or not if you are feeling risky.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
