Where To Eat On A College Budget In San Marcos
Giphy

You've paid your tuition, rent/housing, fees and all the necessary supplies and decor to make your place look awesome. And let's not forget that soon you'll be buying books for classes; in other words, you're bank account is entering the one digit zone.

Living on a college budget is hard, so here are a few places where you can get a good meal for an even better price!

1. Texas State University Dining

If you have a meal plan, please use it. Seriously, you paid good money for that! If you don't have a meal plan, food on campus is still pretty cheap.

2. Donut 911

This delicious food truck on N. Guadalupe has gourmet donuts that will fill you up and satisfy you! They also have kolaches, cinnamon rolls, chicken tenders, burgers, bagels and much more all for cheap!

3. The Hitch

Speaking of food trucks, The Hitch offers a wide variety of foods at its mobile eatery park. For filling and cheap food, I recommend you go to The Patty Wagon, The Big Kahuna and Smoked Out.

4. Grin's Restaurant

They have specials every day, accept Bobcat Bucks, a $10.99 "Student Steak Special" and the food is great!

5. Taco Bell

It's not the most nutritious choice, but you can get some really good food here for cheap!

6. Gil's Broiler

These are some of the best burgers I've ever had, and they're so cheap and filling! Plus the Manske Rolls here are legendary, delicious, and cost less than $2.00!


Next time you want to grab a bite to eat but don't want to sell a kidney to get a taco, try one of these places!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.
StableDiffusion

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
