For the foodie in you.

Food

I don't know about you guys, but my life revolves around food. Food is where I find my comfort. If I'm happy and in the mood to celebrate, I'll go out to eat. If I'm feeling down, I eat my feelings away. The point is, food is always there for me, no matter how I'm feeling. I LOVE trying new food and finding new places to eat. I believe that you have to step out of your comfort zone in life, and what better way to do that then through eating?

Of course, I have to share my love with the rest of the world, which is why I even have a food page (@halaleatsny on the Gram, follow up.) So alas, as a girl who often finds herself hungry but is also a struggling college student, I have compiled this list of my favorite spots to eat around SBU (in no particular order, of course)!

1. Lemongrass Express

This place is a hidden gem. It's a tiny spot located in a giant plaza, but it's one that you don't wanna miss. If you like drunken noodles, this is the place to go to. If you haven't tried drunken noodles yet, then this is still the place to go to. The food here is BOMB.

2. Slurp Ramen

You can't be a college student and claim to not like ramen. Ramen noodles on a cold, winter day is what love is made of. This place is perfect when you're in the mood for some comfort food. ESPECIALLY when you should be studying for finals. It's in the heart of Port Jeff, and tbh, you really can't miss out.

3. Shake Shack

Do I really need to explain this one? You can really never go wrong with Shake Shack. Even if you aren't too big on meat, they have one of the best vegetarian burgers I've ever tried. It's a classic.

4. Bambu

Okay, so this technically isn't food, but BUBBLE TEA. Words cannot explain my love for bubble tea. And this spot does it reallllly well. So if you're a fanatic like me, or if you're trying it for the first time, drop whatever you're doing and GO HERE.

5. Crazy Beans

This spot really has everything. Whether you're in the mood for breakfast, lunch, or just a quick latte, Crazy Beans is perfect. Their iced coffee drinks are my favorite. And it's located next to Avalon Park. Would highly recommend.

6. Red Tiger Dumpling House

Another one of my faves. If you're in the mood for some top-notch dumplings and lo mein, I'd suggest you check this place out. The food is authentic and so sooo good. Did I mention they also have bubble tea? It's a win-win.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
