Now, if you are looking for a local bar that serves you a cold one during the hot summer days of Texas, then you are in the right place! Dixie Chicken has some good grub that will keep you coming back for seconds!

2. Antonio's Pizza

3. Antonio's Pizza By The Slicehttps://guideri.com/food/antonios-pizza/

Slice of pizza for under $10??

No, really, it's literally under 10 for a single slice, and we're not talking about those puny slices that you get from Domino's

Nah, these slices are HUGE, like one slice is enough to feed an entire family. So if you are looking for some food that can easily fill you up, head over to Antonio's!

3. Nam Cafe

Looking for somewhere to get some good old Vietnamese food? Say less, because Nam Cafe will easily satisfy your hunger before you know it!

4. Fuego Tortilla Grill

Now listen! I like a good taco as anyone does, but Fuego's is probably the first taco place for me that is truly changed my understanding of what makes a good taco, and if you are looking for something different, I totally recommend this place.

5. BonAppeTea

Looking for a place for some Boba Tea? Well, look no further but BonAppeTea! Which is right next to Nam Cafe, so pop right in after chowing down on a bowl of Beef Pho

6. Gate 12 Bar & Grill

Head over to Gate 12 Bar & Grill where you can enjoy your ribs while watching the planes go off as it is located right next to Easterwood Airport

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

You can't just go to your room to take a nap in the middle of your classes.

Having to spend all your extra cash on gas for your car.

Speaking of money, you probably don't have a meal plan so you're forced to scrounge up some change or mooch off of your friends.

It can be harder to maintain the friendships you make with people from class.

Finding a parking spot.

It can be harder to be involved on campus because between your one, two, or three jobs and school you don't have much free time.

When you try to be super involved on campus, it can kill your sleep schedule.

It's impossible to do homework at home, but staying on campus isn't an option sometimes.

There are surveys and events that you can't participate in because you're a commuter.

Group projects are the bane of your existence.

Traffic.

Your backpack rivals that of a survivalist trekking in the woods.

Driving all the way to campus to find a note on the door of your classroom saying class was cancelled.

Because have you ever had to endure grilling your foot on a George Foreman?

1. When he just wanted bacon from his George Foreman grill

2. When he had money (and Jan) issues

3. When he got upstaged at Phyllis' wedding

4. When he unintentionally saved Meredith from rabies

5. When he wore a "bisexual" suit

6. When he had to apologize to Jesus

7. When his GPS drove him into a lake

8. When he had to deal with Ryan as his boss

9. When he couldn't fulfill his most generous empty promise

10. When this happened

11. When he struggled with a X-Mas break up

12. When he had to defend his generosity

13. When he threw a classy Christmas party for Holly but she had a boyfriend

14. When he had to stand up to peer pressure

15. When Toby was "Toby-ish"
