The combination of margaritas and guacamole may be the most infamous duo in the food world.

In fact, the relationship between the two could even be equated to that of Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, potentially the most perfect and best-looking celebrity couple since Brangelina's recent split. And Dallas, being one of the nations most diverse hubs for just about everything, food included, has a plethora of options for avid Tex-Mex lovers such as myself. Below, I’m counting down the top three favorite spots for Dallas locals to get the most flavorful guac and strongest margs, just in time to celebrate dia de los muertos on November 1.

You're welcome.

3. Blue Goose Cantina – Lower Greenville

Located in the funky, upbeat area of Dallas, Lower Greenville, Blue Goose Cantina uses all natural and fresh, local ingredients in all of their dishes, their guacamole included. Served alongside their fajitas, quesadillas and pretty much everything else on the menu, it’s made with onions, lime juice and diced tomato, making it the perfect consistency – an impeccable compromise between smooth and chunky.

While their margarita selection may seem limited and simple, with only swirl, mango, strawberry and original to choose from, each one delivers powerful amounts of flavor and alcohol (and what could be better?), and all can be served either frozen or on the rocks.

Blue Goose provides customers with fun atmosphere, killer food and drinks, and reasonable prices, making it a top-notch spot to take your friends and family (well, maybe not your parents) on Tequila Tuesday.

2. Rusty Taco - Greenville Avenue

A quick and cheap place to grab a bite to eat and still get your drink on, Rusty Taco offers patrons a plethora of taco choices, perfect to pair with their homemade guacamole. Chunkier than your typical guac, Rusty Taco adds dashes of chopped cilantro and paprika to their recipe, and at only $3.25 for a side with chips, the price is unbeatable.

At $5 a piece, there margaritas "are made with cheap tequila" and come either frozen or on the rocks, with a rim of salt and a lime wedge, and while they're not the fanciest of them all, there's no competition for their cheap price tag.

1. Meso Maya - Uptown

While Meso Maya sports a slight more upscale atmosphere and menu than the previous Tex-Mex spots, their offerings are definitely worth the up-charge. At $9 for an appetizer, their guac, made fresh daily, consists of white onions, tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice and Oaxacan sea salt (it even sounds fancy, doesn't it?). With a smooth consistency and loads of flavor, it's perfect to spread on their house-made chips and dollop on one of their many tacos or enchiladas.

Meso Maya sets itself apart with its unique margaritas; the Avocado with fresh squeezed pineapple and lime juices, triple sec, casa noble crystal and fresh, muddled avocado (duh). Frequenters also love the Serrano Berry made with muddled strawberries, Serrano pepper, tequila blanco and fresh lime juice.

If you're not hungry yet, you really should go see a doctor and get your head examined. If you are, get geared up and ready for Tequila Tuesday and a night out at one of these Dallas favorites.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
