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"

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
