Close to Campus, College Budget Friendly

Close to Campus, College Budget Friendly

1. Marty's

Marty’s in a cute home-towny bar that’s downtown. For $7.99 you get a steak, salad, and side. The drinks are also cheap, which is a huge bonus.

If you’re like me, and don’t love steak, their Reuben’s are the bessssst. Fried pickles, and fries there are on my fav’s list if you’re only looking for a study break snack.


2. Freddy's

This one probably isn’t your best option if you don’t have a car here, since it’s a 5 minute drive from north campus, but Freddy’s is the Mount Pleasant home-town version of an Applebee’s.

They have killer burgers, turkey Rueben’s (I’m sure you can tell by now what my favorite food are), and sandwiches.

Freddy’s servers are super quick, and always friendly. Their fried mushrooms & fried pickles are favorites in our apartment.

Bonus: Carryout is available.


3. Shin's

If you go to CMU and haven’t been to Shin’s we cant be friends. Shin’s is authentic Korean food, and they have a great sized menu’s. Located across from insomnia cookies, they’re definitely close to campus.

Carryout is available, but I totally recommend taking the time to go in. Their workers are super friendly, and if you’ve never tried Korean food before, they’ll help you decide on something you’ll love.



4. Dog Central

Dog Central has a hotdog for literally everyone. Don’t like hot dogs? They’ll give you a bun and toppings. Mac and cheese, BBQ, Chicago dogs, chili dogs, PB dogs? Yup, just go try it for yourself.

Pro Tip: $5 for a drink, whatever dog you want, and a heap of fries on Tuesdays.

Bonus: You can carryout their Tuesday night deal, and we do it pretty often in our apartment, since we all love it.



5. The Diner

If you’ve ever tried to eat at the IHOP here you know you’re battling casino go-ers, townies, and literally every freshman who has a car.

It gets better than IHOP my friends. Pancakes, Hash browns, Waffles, Eggs, Bacon.. and it taste’s better than what I can make (which isn’t saying much).

My favorite part about the Diner is they always treat you like you’re their most important customer. They’re always busy, but its totally worth the 5 minute wait to get a table. It’s 100 times better than fast-food breakfast, and you’ll be in and out in under an hour.

Plus, who doesn’t love a homemade tasting breakfast, right before finals?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.
