I love sushi more than a lot of things. I've always liked the mystique and creativity of it. I have owned sushi erasers and a plush Nigiri pillow with a face. I dressed up in a homemade sushi costume at a party in college and brought it back for a Halloween event this year (an over sized white t-shirt decorated with scraps of other shirts, Mardi Gras beads, glitter, and restaurant chop sticks- it's a pretty good replica of a tuna roll if I do say so myself). My favorite episode of Nickelodeon's Doug from the 90's was the episode where Doug and Skeeter go and get sushi with Skeeter's grandmother. I took particular joy in leading a summer camp activity where campers got to make their own sushi rolls out of Rice Krispies Treats and candy. So, needless to say, it's hard not to choose a sushi restaurant when I go out to dinner. Today, I'm sharing some of my favorite places in New Orleans to have my favorite kind of food.

Rock-N-Sake

This place is legitimately like its own nightclub with loud music and dim mood lighting. It's always a fun experience there, but there is also almost always a wait. However, you can make the wait less painful with a pretty cocktail from their glamorous bar. They really go all out on their sushi presentation, too. The Dragon Roll is in the shape of an actual dragon, complete with adorable face. The Upside Down roll is served sizzling like a fajita.


Mikimoto

If you're lucky enough to live in a territory where Mikimoto delivers, I implore you to take advantage of it. You can also dine in, of course, and everything there is just good. This is actually my nanny child's all-time favorite restaurant. I like the Mango Roll, and they also do some good rice-free varieties with cucumber on the outside.


Sushi Brothers


My friends and I used to go here all the time in college. It's on St. Charles so you can streetcar conveniently, and everything is super fresh. My favorite thing here is the red miso soup.


Sake Cafe

This is where my boyfriend and I went on our first date. They are a little on the pricier side (but first date, aww). They have this one sushi roll that is served literally in flames, a good happy hour, and a nice variety of items on their menu.


Ninja

Ninja is so convenient to the university area of New Orleans and makes me miss my college apartment a lot. I have a lot of good Ninja memories and still try to go as much as I can. Their Spicy California Roll is a much enhanced version of the regular thing.

There are many more delicious sushi options around the city, but these are some good ones to check out when starting a New Orleans sushi adventure. Much sushi love to all.

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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
