Welcome to the greatest city in the world: Cleveland, Ohio.

You are now in the Land and the food scene is the arguably the best part of the city. You have everything from Little Italy to East 4th, even if you're like me and you're broke as crap because of college, you can find a good, honest meal for a price that doesn't make your bank account turn red.

No matter what kind of food is your favorite, there are tons of options for everyone. Here are just a few of my all time favorites.

1. Barrio

Located on the corner of Prospect and East 4th, Barrio is a Cleveland staple. Three dollar tacos, bomb-ass queso, and some amazing drinks make Barrio the place for watch parties and late nights. Open until 2:30 a.m. means that Barrio is the go to place for a quick bite while you up all night studying.

2. Otani Noodle

Otani Noodle is your go-to for authentic ramen. Located on Euclid just a few steps from East 2nd makes it easily accessible from the Q or Progressive Field.

3. Wahlburgers

Located on Ontario right next to the JACK Casino and steps away from the Q makes the Cleveland location of Wahlburgers one of my favorites. They have amazing sweet potato tots and lots of options if you don't feel too hungry. Also, as someone who has IBS, they have never once made my stomach upset, which means their food is not greasy.

4. Colossal Cupcakes

Holy cupcakes Batman! These cupcakes are a little up there in price, but are oh-so worth it. With flavors from Fruity Pebbles to Oreo Dirt, this shop on Euclid will satisfy your sweet tooth.

5. Taco Bell Cantina

The Cantina in Cleveland will make every other Taco Bell look like a gas station bathroom to you. They serve alcohol all day, and the staff is always smiling and making you laugh. Catch it right next to public square on Euclid Ave.

Bloom Bakery

This little bakery is always serving up fresh baked granola bars, coffee, muffins, cookies and more with fair trade ingredients and AMAZING flavor. Located right across the street from the Taco Bell Cantina means you can grab a coffee to go with your taco.

Westside Market

This Cleveland tradition has been a fan favorite for over a hundred years. High quality goods meet low prices at this beautiful market. Get a gyro and buy some fruit for your breakfast the next day with enough pocket change left to buy yourself a giant cookie.

Bombay Chaat

Don't be shy of this little restaurant on Euclid and East 21st, this place serves up the best Indian street food. Cleveland State students are almost always eating here because of the amazing flavors and low price.

9. Chipotle

This is a no brainer. Chipotle. Need I say more?

10. Lemonberry

What isn't to love about frozen yogurt with hundreds of topping options? Pay for it by the ounce and enjoy the boardgames to pass the time.

11. Insomnia Cookies

There is nothing better than warm cookies and milk. Insomnia cookies come to you, hot, fresh, and screaming to be eaten.

12. Yours Truly

What's better than a home-cooked meal in the middle of the city? The perfect place to grab some brunch on a lazy Sunday morning.

All around, the best way to find the best food in Cleveland is to ask the people who live here. We will always tell it to you straight. May your bellies be full and your spirits be happy.

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
