Tallahassee is a college town with what seems like a new restaurant on every corner you turn. I've eaten everything from corndogs from street carts to fine dining in this city. Needless to say, my wallet hates me and my stomach loves me. However, I've created a list of my top 20 go to eats that have gotten me through the past 3 and a half years of college and might just be able to help you achieve that freshman (or in my case senior) 15 even quicker.

1. Dunkin' Donuts 10 minutes before closing.

My freshman year I stumbled upon what I did not realize at the time was a gold mine. Basically I was having a casual Tuesday night donut craving and went to Dunkin' about 10 minutes before closing and ended up getting 3 dozen donuts for free.

The employee working told me that when they close, whatever donuts are left just get thrown away so instead of wasting these precious dough babies, he gave them to me. And so now, 3 years later, you can catch me going to Dunkin', way too often, 10 minutes before closing for the sweetest deal of all time. Clarification: this is not a Dunkin' Donuts policy and is not guaranteed to work every time.

2. McDonald's at 11 p.m. for a McDouble and Coke.

It's become a bit of a ritual, some might call it a problem, that around 11 p.m. on any given night you can bet I'm craving a McDouble and Coke from McDonald's. I mean come on, it's less than $3 and it's delicious, so hate on me all you want but you're the one missing out, not me.

3. Hobbit.

I could go on for days about everything I love about Hobbit, but I'll spare you. The mini corn dogs and wings are my bread and butter. I mean come on mini corn dogs?? Incredible.

4. Gordos.

What's not to love about Gordos? It's the prized possession of Tally. The environment, the cubans, the fries, the Gordos sauce, and of course, the Gordos Smash. Nothing says college like a giant plastic cup filled to the brim with a pink colored liquid hangover.

5. Whataburger Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit.

If you try and tell me you haven't had a Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit after a night out, you're lying. These little drops of heaven are honestly what I look forward to most when going out.

6. Chick Fil A.

I'm pretty sure I've spent more money at Chick Fil A in the past 3 and a half years than on all the money spent on my college education. And let me tell you, it has been my pleasure.

7. Bagel Bagel.

There's nothing better than waking up on a Saturday morning after a night out at Recess and going to Bagel Bagel to bring you back to life.

8. El Patron.

You might risk being shot, but it's worth it for the BOGO margs and chips and salsa.

9. Madison Social Sweet Potato Kale Salad.

Yeah that's right. #health #fitness

10. Donut Kingdom.

When you're not feeling like eating kale or working out, you should just go ahead and make your way over to Donut Kingdom. You can thank me later.

11. Momo's Pizza.

If you don't love eating a slice of pizza that's literally bigger than your head, you're wrong.

12. Jasmine Cafe Sushi.

Jasmine is all about ballin' on a budget. They are the home of 2 rolls of sushi, soup, and salad all for $10 AND (drum roll please) $1 sake bombs.

13. Bird's Aphrodisiac Oyster Shack

Oysters, amazing burgers, and on Wednesday nights they have comedy night. If you haven't been to Bird's you need to get your butt in the car right now.

14. Bella Bella.

I swear their Bubble Bread was literally made by the angels in Heaven.

15. Gumby's Pokey Sticks.

There's nothing like a box of Pokey's after a wild night at Yianni's am I right?

16. Lucky Goat Coffee.

I love everything about Lucky Goat. The coffee is great, the environment is cozy and calm, they have cool shirts and hats. What else could you want from a coffee shop?

17. Hopkins.

Hopkins is a little Tallahassee local place with the best sandwiches ever. Not many people know about it, but I would 10/10 recommend trying it out if you haven't already.

18. Tin Lizzy's.

Tin Lizzy's is the move post happy hour/pre Recess. It's got amazing tacos, queso, and margaritas.

19. Brick Haus Pizza.

The pizza's good. The wine is cheap. What more do you need?

20. Charlie's Corn Dog Stand.

Charlie's corn dogs are pretty much the only reason I ever go to Standard, because I know that's what I have to look forward to at the end of the night.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
