9 College Fast Food Guilty Pleasures
Stuffpoint

As a college student, I am guilted into eating the majority of my meals on campus due to the outrageous price my parents pay for my meal plan. On the rare occasion that my friends or I have the extra time or cash to eat off campus, there are quite a few places that are too good and too cheap to pass up. I asked around campus for some fast food guilty pleasures, and the responses literally made me hangry (hungry + angry). So for you starving college kids, if you haven't hit any of these places up, you need to do so ASAP. Try not to let your mouth water or your stomach growl as you read about these.

1. Cookout

A college town favorite, you legitimately cannot pass up 99 cent chicken nuggets or a BBQ plate consisting of barbecue pork, cole slaw, hush puppies and french fries for less that five dollars- not to mention there are too many milkshakes to count that can satisfy any sweet tooth.

2. Sonic Drive-In

Even though Sonic is nothing new or fancy, there's just something about a 6 pack mozzarella stick and some tater tots that can make any long night studying worth it.

3. Gigi's Cupcakes

With over 100 locations mostly in the eastern/southeastern United States, Gigi's has become a fast favorite for gourmet cupcakes. You get more icing than your body should be able to handle, but the sugar rush is worth it. Tip: rip the bottom half of the cupcake off and place it on top of the icing to make a cupcake sandwich to save yourself an icing mess!

4. Raising Cane's

Chicken and crinkle fries and Texas toast and cole slaw. Enough said.

5. Jimmy John's

I didn't become a big sandwich person until college. How can you pass up food being delivered to your door faster than you can close out of Netflix and make it to your dorm lobby?

6. Buffalo Wild Wings

Call me lame as heck, but I just had BWW for the first time last week. Boneless Thursday is my new favorite day of the week (don't forget to post a Snapchat story in your BWW crown because if you didn't post then it didn't happen).

7. Taco Bell

There are far and few things more satisfying than sitting in your room and watching a football game while munching on a Doritos Locos Taco and sipping on a Mountain Dew Baja Blast. Just try it once for me.

8. Popeyes

If you can't go home for Sunday lunch with your fam, just grab a group of friends and head to Popeyes for some chicken and green beans. Close enough.

9. Insomnia Cookies

End your fast food indulgence with some huge, warm, gooey Insomnia cookies. They deliver until 3 AM, so late night cravings can be satisfied before you can even get your shoes on.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
