8 Things Honduras Is Best Known For

1. Baleadas

No other country has this mix of flour tortilla, beans, egg, sausage, platains and hot sauce.

2. Utila

Utila is a very small island, only around 17 square miles, located about 25 miles off of Honduras’s Caribbean coast. It is best known for its diving and of course... Dr. John Mckay.

3. Copan Ruinas

"The town of Copán Ruinas, often simply called Copán, is a beautiful place, paved with cobblestones and lined with white adobe buildings with red-tiled roofs. It's also one of the most charming and traveler-oriented places in Honduras, with a friendly local population, widely spoken English and some great hotels and restaurants. Many people come here just to see the famous nearby Maya ruins, but with plenty of other attractions in the town and nearby, there's reason enough to linger."

4. Pollo Chuco

When ever you visit Honduras, you can't leave home without tasting the famously "Pollo Chuco" , fried chicken, with fried green slices and cabbage and "tajadas" with a special sauce you won't be able to resist!

5. Valle De Angeles and Santa Lucia

Pictures speak for itself

6. BEER

Part of going to any country is trying their local specialties and beverages. For me, that means beer. Honduran is well known for this and believe me, you won't regret the hangover after a couple of Barenas.

7. Roatan

"Surrounded by the second largest coral reef in the world, the island is a popular spot amongst divers. Each week charter flights bring in groups from Canada and Italy, amongst many other countries, to enjoy the turquoise blue warm waters of the Caribbean which is home to diverse marine fauna and flora.

The entire 33-mile island is surrounded by a shallow reef, with several diving spots offering a spectacular view of thousands of marine creatures for both experienced and novice divers. The reefs begin in as little as 20 to 40 feet with delightful drop offs up to 100+ feet. The pristine dive sites offer many drop offs, canyons and the Caribbean’s largest variety of coral and sponges. Locals and visitors who dive here say it’s the most relaxing and therapeutic thing to do. Being deep under the sea calms you down, regulates your breathing and transports you into a different world."

8. Honduran Slang and Sayings

"Que pedos MAJE?"

"Vamos a pijinear"

"Que buena esta"

"Aja y el culito donde lo dejaste?"

"Pija, pijin, pijinear, pijineemos"

"Vamos a CDP"

"Me vale pija, me voy a la pija"

"Charamuscas"

"Que hartada vo"

"Mamada"

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.
