11 Delicious Foreign Foods You Absolutely Need To Try

Chinh-le- Duc

Last week, I wrote a listicle, titled 11 Foods That Should NOT Exist As a follow-up, I thought it would be entertaining to write about 11 Foreign Foods that should not leave existence. I love food, and there are too many delicious choices out there, so 11 will just have to suffice. Without further ado, I give you the 11 different foods:

1. Escargot

Yes escargot are snails, but it is a delicacy! You wouldn't eat them raw, but cooked(obviously). But if you eat them cooked with garlic butter than it makes for one amazing dish! They also make for a dinner party favorite!

2. Goulash

Do you want soup, but not anything too light? You have that carnivorous friend who doesn't want any vegetables in their soup? You have that one potato obsessed friend? Look no further than Goulash! A meaty and potato goodness without being too heavy! It's definitely a childhood favorite!

3. Currywurst

If you like sausage, spice, and fries you'll definitely love currywurst! Germans love, and I mean LOVE this fast-food dish!

4. Filet Mignon

It's literally a miniature steak! A perfect portion as well. Rich, with a great combination of light!

5. Pasta

Penne, Linguini, cavatappi, etc! Pasta is too delicious! There are too many sauces and meats to choose from! If you are not a vegetable person, you can easily incorporate them into pasta!

6. Wiener Schnitzel

I'm not talking about this Americanized disgrace...

I'm talking about this wonderful dish:

It's a meat that's light, without excluding the flavor! I love this breaded meat! And it is nothing like Chicken Tenders! Not that I have anything against Chicken Tenders, I love Chicken Tenders but these are not chicken tenders!

7. Wanton Soup

This soup is so light! If you're on a diet, or trying to watch your calories Wanton Soup is a great soup to eat! It's delicious and fun to say in a Chinese accent! WANTON! Not making fun of the Chinese, it's just fun to say!

8. Pizza

I think most of us can agree on this! Btw, you're missing out if you haven't had true pizza from Italy! But just look at this amazingness! Are you in love yet?

9. Döner

How the hamburger is a classic fast-food item, for Germans and Turks it's the Döner! It's essentially season lamb and mutton with lettuce served with kebab sauce! Kebab sauce is light yogurt, sour cream, and lime juice that's blended together to make the white sauce you see!

10. Gyro

All I can say is that the Greeks now what they are doing!

11. Poutine

Cheese Curds, gravy, and fries yum! Canadians, I'm sorry you get a lot of hate, but you sure know how to make some mean poutine!

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

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. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. 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.
