Texas State Fair Foods You Must Try

With the fall season comes the annual Texas State Fair, which means everything and anything fried. You can enjoy breakfast foods, lunch, snacks, drinks, desserts--the options are endless. Here are some you'll find at this year's Texas State Fair.

- Deep-Fried Pumpkin Spice Donut Chip: this seems to be the key to any "basic" girl's heart. It's a crispy deep-fried donut topped with a pumpkin spice glaze, a huge scoop of ice cream, and bits of candied cinnamon maple bacon.

- Fried Oreos: this year they are changing up their original fried Oreos and introducing several limited edition flavors. The fried Oreos come in cookie dough, cotton candy, and red velvet flavors. The cookie dough are topped with chocolate chips and chocolate syrup, the cotton candy are served with a side of cotton candy, and the red velvet are topped with cream cheese icing.

- Fried Kettle Corn: a classic fair food that just got better. They shape the kettle corn into popcorn balls and then dip them into pancake batter and fry them. Each one is served with a delicious salted caramel sauce, guaranteed to make it the perfect salty, sweet combination.

- Fried Tailgate Party: they managed to combine pretty much all of the traditional tailgate foods into one perfectly fried concoction. They fill a biscuit up with a mix of chicken wings, grilled burger, pulled pork, baby back ribs, grilled sausage, and jalapeños wrapped in bacon, and then fry the meat lover's creation into the shape of a football.

- Milk Chocolate Bacon on a Stick: it's as simple as it sounds, but it looks amazing. Like they have in the past, they deep fry the bacon, but then they dip the fried bacon into milk chocolate and serve it on wooden skewers.

- Fried lobster: Pretty self-explanatory, but the dish is served with a lemon butter Champagne gravy and has been said to be the most costly dish at this year's fair. It will cost you roughly $30 to enjoy the decadent dish.

- Fernie's Holy Moly Carrot Cake Roly: They take combine carrot cake, cinnamon bread, carrots, and raisins and roll the pastry into shape. Then they cover it with cream cheese and use a mixture of nutmeg, panic, cinnamon and graham crackers for the breading. Of course it is deep-fried to perfection and topped with cream cheese frosting and powdered sugar.

- Lone Star Pork Handle: It's a bone-in pork chop marinated with pork rub. Then they dip it into batter that is made with Lone Star Beer. They generously coat the pork chops with bread crumbs, deep fry it until it is crispy and golden brown, and serve it with a bourbon barbecue glaze.

- Cowboy Corn Crunch: These fried little bits are a combination of corn, jalapeño, cream cheese, and bacon then fried for a great savory treat.

- Pretzel Crusted Pollo Queso: They mix together shredded spicy chicken, bacon, cream and Monterey Jack cheeses, cilantro, and Sriracha sauce. Each one is rolled into a ball, coated with a pretzel breading then fried, and accompanied by a jalapeño ranch sauce.

_

- Deep-Fried Sweet Tea: They managed to deep fry a Southern classic drink. They mix together sweet tea and custard filling, and then cover it in graham cracker crumbs. Then they deep fry it and drizzle the yummy treat with a sweet tea syrup.

- Deep Fried S'Mores Pop Tart: This also isn't a new fried food item at the fair, but it is my personal favorite. It is hands-down the greatest thing I have ever tasted. They dip the s'mores Pop Tart in batter and then once they fry it, the chocolate and marshmallow gets gooey and melty and it's amazing. I highly recommend it.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
