Sarasota, FL

Sarasota, FL is a diverse and expanding city that has a variety of art & music festivals and farmer's markets. However, what will always stand out in this city are the restaurants. Here are my top 10 personal recommendations as a Sarasota native:

1. 420 Munchies Cafe

420 Munchies Cafe is one of the most unique places in town, as it was made for local stoners with unique cravings. So, if you love odd combinations or want to have a heart-stopping cheat day on your diet, this is definitely the place for you. One of the most popular items on the menu includes the Fat Sandy sandwich which is stuffed with two cheeseburger patties, chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, onion rings, and spuds then topped with mac and cheese. If you want to stay healthy, however, they do offer delicious chicken salads.

2. Kam's Bubble Tea & Sushi

Kam's Bubble Tea & Sushi serves many different flavors and types of bubble tea. With the sushi made as fresh as you order it, it is probably one of the best sushi joints near downtown Sarasota.

3. Crystal Cream

Crystal Cream offers the popular ice cream rolls that took over Instagram in recent years. They offer a variety of toppings to make your ice cream unique and flavorful which is the perfect treat to cool down on a hot Florida day.

4. Teas Days

5. Morton's Gourmet Market

While Morton's isn't a restaurant, their deli offers some of the best food around. From the great sandwiches to the mac and cheese, this market knows how to perfect their homemade foods for you to enjoy.

6. Abel's Ice Cream

Abel's is another popular ice cream shop in Sarasota that makes delicious homemade ice cream. Their banana and moose tracks are their best sellers and for very good reason.

7. The Melting Pot

The Melting Pot is a popular choice in downtown Sarasota. The restaurant gets its name from the fact that their menu uses fondue cheese and chocolates within their recipes and appetizers. Cheese and chocolate...what's more to love?

8. The Original Egg

This breakfast and lunch restaurant has some of the best foods. The pancakes are sweet and soft while the burgers are hearty and juicy. Get you a restaurant that can do both.

9. Mellow Mushroom

Mellow Mushroom makes what is possibly the most popular pizza in Sarasota. All of their pizzas are made in a stone oven which gives the pizza that crisp fluffiness that every pizza lover craves.

10. Blue Dolphin Cafe

This restaurant is located in St. Armand's Circle and is very well known for their fluffy Belgian waffles. If you don't have a sweet tooth in the morning, though, their eggs Benedict is to die for.

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.

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.
