12 Chinese Foods I Miss A Lot

I am so hungry right now. If you ever visit China, you should eat these things. Or really just eat them because they're good.

凉皮 (Cold noodles)

If I could eat this every day I would.

北京烤鸭 (Peking Duck)


Some fancy places will literally cut the duck into nice arrangements in front of you.

小笼包/饺子 (Dumplings sort of)

^This is 小笼包 and while they're basically the same as dumplings, they're a lot soupier.

^These are proper dumplings. They look different from the other ones because they're folded differently and are boiled not steamed. Again, these come in different flavors and the stuffing varies a lot from place to place.

刀削面(Sort of Specialty Noodles)


The noodles are thicker and flatter than normal, and I really miss the texture.

羊肉串(Lamb Skewers)

One time I visited inner Mongolia, and they literally slaughtered a sheep in front of my family and then cooked it. I felt awful but it was delicious.

麻婆豆腐 (MaPo Tofu)

I feel like most people know this one. Yes, it is super good.

炒饭 &炒面 (Fried Rice &Fried Noodles)



I ate this last week.

I used to order this every time I went to a restaurant.

汤面(Noodles &Soup)


I had this yesterday. You can add whatever you want to it (usually leftovers) and it's still good.

葱油饼(Green Onion Scallion fried thing)

So crispy, so oily, so good. Used to eat these for breakfast instead of toast.

茶叶蛋 (Tea eggs)


An excellent snack. They sell these at convenience stores in china, and they're a lot more flavorful than the regular kind.

辣子鸡 (Spicy Chicken)

Most of those peppers you see are actually just for decoration. It's so fried MmmmmmmMmm....

DESSERTS:

珍珠奶茶 (Bubble Tea)

This is actually technically a Taiwanese thing (sorry :( ) But it's just so sweet and popular that I couldn't resist. Those little black tapioca balls are chewy and give you something to do instead of just drinking the insanely sweet milk tea. Now it comes in a bunch of varieties.

北京老冰棍 (Beijing popsicles)

These are literally less than 50 cents and I once ate 5 of these in a row before I got brain freeze.

There is some great food out there!

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
