It's summertime and you know what that means! Hanging out with your friends and eating out. With that being said, I've decided to make a definitive ranking of the best places to get chicken nuggets in the US because let's be honest, even if you have picky eaters as friends, chicken nuggets are ALWAYS a good idea.

1. Chick-Fil-A (On Pelham Road)

Alright, I know what you might be thinking: what's with Pelham Road? Well, that's where, in my humble opinion, you can get the best Chick-Fil-A nuggets and strips. However, if you don't know where Pelham Road is (hint: it's in #yeahthatGreenville) any Chick-Fil-A will do.

2. Bojangles

Bojangles takes the number two spot because, and I'm not being dramatic when I say this, the chicken supremes have changed my life. Okay, so yeah, maybe I'm being a little dramatic, but they're just so good and perfectly spiced and an all-around crowd pleaser (I mean unless you don't like a lil' spice).

3. Chicken Finger Basket From Applebee's

As Texas Ranger would say in Talladega Nights: "What a lovely meal." While making this list I was trying to think of all the places to get some delicious chicken and it occurred to me that I had forgotten about how incredibly delicious the chicken finger basket from Applebee's is! Whether you go there with some gal pals, or with your date before homecoming it's always a good time and it's ALWAYS delicious.

4. IKEA's Chicken Tenders

And you thought IKEA was only put on this earth to provide furniture at incredibly low prices! False! Next time you find yourself at an IKEA take your lap around the store then go upstairs and have lunch (or dinner). I prefer the adult portion with a side of vegetable medallions. They pair beautifully with a glass of lingonberry juice.

5. Kickin' Chicken

Personal

A Charleston staple, however, it ranks only #5 on my list. If you go to Kicken Chicken I suggest by-passing the nuggets and go straight for the wings. They're a bit more expensive but they're the better option.

6. Raising Cannes

I'm on the Canes side of the Zaxby's vs. Canes debate only because I think that their chicken pairs so much better with the special sauce. Canes is also very juicy in a way that Zaxby's just isn't, but because of that the tenders can get a little soggy and that's why Canes is #6 on my list.

7. Zaxby's

Last, and definitely least we have Zaxby's. If only their chicken wasn't so salty they could have earned a better spot on my list.

So, remember! Don't be a chicken (I'm crying laughing at myself for that one) and try these places and make your own list! But remember, don't talk to me if you think Zaxby's is better than Chick-Fil-A.

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.

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?
