7 Restaurants That We Need On Franklin That Aren't Pizza Places

Dear Franklin Street realtors,

The shock. The denial. The anger. The bargaining. The depression. And finally... the acceptance. When Artisan Pizza Kitchen left Franklin Street, I went through the five stages of grief. It was the only good pizza place close to campus. The only slice of pizza that was at least reminiscent to the pies I was used to back home in New York. But I guess you get the love you think you deserve, as the quote goes, and so we lost APK and got the monstrosity that is Lotsa.

Don't get me wrong, pizza is not hard to come by on Franklin AT ALL. But none of it is good. And looking at the upcoming openings of more pizza chains on Franklin Street is just depressing to the students on campus without cars. We already have sub-par pizza chains! Where is the variety?

Here are just some suggestions for the kinds of restaurants that should be on Franklin:

1. Italian Food

Pizzeria in the front, restaurant in the back. Real pasta dishes. New York-style pizza. Please.

3. Dunkin' Donuts

America runs on Dunkin'! Plus there is nothing quite like an iced coffee from this java joint.

4. Bojangles

Even those of us without cars should have access to this amazing cajun chicken (plus all my friends know how I feel about chicken biscuits)!

5. Cook Out

Greasy food galore. We need it.

6. Somewhere to get a nice ol' salad

Yes I know Tru has salads, but another salad place just seems necessary. We need to be healthy too! And I swear to God if another acai bowl place pops up, I might just spontaneously combust.

7. A taco place

I wouldn't be mad if it just so happened to be taco bell, but I think any taco place would be an excellent addition to our cute lil college town.

So Franklin Street realtors, these are just a couple (pretty good options). Just please please please please listen to the people. We do not need another pizza place. Especially another bad one.

To The Girls With "Daddy Issues," You Are Worthy Of The Love He Never Gave You

You are not alone.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Why Blair Waldorf Is The Realest Bitch To Ever Live

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

The college years are a time for personal growth and success. Everyone comes in with expectations about how their life is supposed to turn out and envision the future.

Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.
