Underrated and often overlooked, Chili's is the place to be. Here are some reasons why...


I want my baby back, baby back, baby back...

1. Your Chili's waitress doesn't care what your wearing

Eat in comfort; there's no need to dress to impress at Chili's.

2. Bottomless chips and salsa

Key word: bottomless

3. Happy Hour is every hour

Chili's has tons of cheap margarita and drink options.Chili's isn't a regular mom; Chili's is a cool mom.

4. Amazing Appetizers

The days of ordering a boring salad to start are long gone at Chili's. (Pro Tip: Save some money and order the queso - salsa and chips are included with it).

5. They got games

Entertain yourself with those little tablets they have on all the tables.

6. Chili's isn't pretentious

You won't find any superfluous hipster food items like "deconstructed hamburgers" or "pickled avacado" on Chili's menu.

7. Chili's is home to the Cookie Skillet

No jokes or funny gifs - Chili's Cookie Skillet is a very serious and more importantly delicious topic. In my book, the Cookie Skillet is hands down the best part of Chili's.

8. Splitting the check is super easy

Splitting the check for convenience doesn't exist at Chili's - with those tablets on their tables you can easily split the check by item. No more paying for your friends expensive fajitas when you only ordered the Southwestern egg rolls. Talk about $avin' dat money. It even gives you a handy tip calculator.


Chili's is perfect - it has options for everyone, relatively inexpensive and a fun atmosphere. Not to mention it has hosted the Dundie's before.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
