Honestly, when you pick your college, there are some important things you really should consider: Where is the best cheap sushi? Is there a Starbucks close by? Is walking to the local Jamba Juice is a deal breaker? How long is the usual line at In-n-Out? Where is the best burger in town?

If you're a University of the Pacific student, let me give you the low-down on the best selections in Stockton, and why you have to eat there.

First and foremost, every college student needs to know the best coffee shop or café in town, and I'm telling you that Empresso has me hooked. I believe I'm a valued and dedicated customer because I have a stamp card. When you gaze at the menu board, you might want to order something new to get a feel for the place, and trust me, anything they make will be high-quality. I always think I want something new, but I never order anything else except for their chunky money, which is filled with chocolate and banana goodness. However, this blended drink reaches its best potential by adding peanut butter. Once you try this amazing creation, you will have lived an almost full life.

Next, you're probably wondering where you can get the best sushi in town, and let me tell you that, living in Stockton, you might be surprised to find good sushi at all. However, this city never surprises me with great food. If you love sushi, you need to put Kyodai on your list. This restaurant has high quality sushi that falls onto the pricey side, but what worthwhile sushi place isn't pricey? Good news, though, they have single rolls that cost no more than 10 dollars. One down side is that they don't have an "all you can eat" buffet option, but they do offer complimentary peas as an appetizer.

Thirdly, we all need to know the best burger joint in town. I have had professors ask students where they think the best burger is in Stockton, and I would agree with the majority that voted for Flip's. It's a small place in the northwest side of Stockton. I was lucky to try their burgers for the first time awhile ago before the lunch rush hit. My word of advice, if you are eating at a restaurant that gets a big lunch rush with a line that reaches out the door, it's probably a great restaurant. Flip's offers a couple added bonuses: they make amazingly crisp fries, and they also just might blend the best milkshake in Stockton, too. Put this place on your bucket list before you graduate.

Don't forget about dessert! You need to pop in at the best dessert spot after taking on that giant burger. Just last year, Stockton was blessed with an East Coast chain called Rita's, an Italian ice and frozen custard delight. It recently opened this past summer, and rumor has it that on their first few nights open, people were lined up out the door and down the walkway. I had to try it for myself and discovered the countless combinations of frozen custard or Italian ice that you can mix to please your sweet desires. I know it is a little cold this time of year, but when that first warm spring day hits the forecast, be sure to put Rita's on your radar.

Lastly, finding a cool late night hang out is ideal in a college town. We have been blessed once again by a late night restaurant called Late Night at Bernie's. This hot spot features great burgers that definitely compete with Flip's, great milkshakes, late night donuts, and snacks. This restaurant creates a welcoming culture with board games and a closing time of 3 a.m.

The list is endless of quality restaurants in town. If you haven't heard before, you'll hear it from me: Stockton has great food waiting for you!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
