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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
