Dear Athena,
If I'm from wayyyy out of state and am looking for some good, stereotypical "Texas" food that isn't too expensive for my college budget, where do you recommend?
Thanks,
Lauren M.

Dear Lauren,
Everyone will always have a different opinion as to which places are the best. But when I first arrived to school, these were some of the places the locals told me to visit.


1) Fred's

A local favorite located at 915 W Currie St. Stop by for a classic, delicious burger and a laid back atmosphere. If you go, you must try their famous Diablo burger--and fries, of course!

2) Cooper's

for Texas barbecue

3) Rodeo Goat

Located at 2836 Bledsoe St, Rodeo Goat is a semi-new addition to Fort Worth that has acquired many fans. It is a great place to go with friends and experience a unique and delicious burger!

4) Railhead

Railhead Smokehouse is at 2900 Montgomery St. It is said to be good for a casual feel and barbecue, with legendary fries and a sweet and tangy signature sauce.

5) Hard-Eight BBQ

This is a BBQ trip that requires a a long drive out to Stevensville, Texas, but they have a free beer tap and great barbecue.

These are just some of the many great places to eat around the Fort Worth area, and I'm sure many people will agree or disagree with my selections, but I definitely recommend giving these places a shot as well as branching out all over Texas to get the full experience!
Enjoy!

Going to the gym and working out on a daily basis (with breaks once in awhile) has been a great way for me to feel good about myself. It is 100% more than just looking good. Especially after starting college and having the stress and anxiety of tests, assignments, and just figuring out my future, the gym at my school has definitely been a place of relief for me and I have numerous reasons of why everyone should push themselves to get to the gym when they can.

Oh college, lovely, lovely college. A four-year time span that is filled with many highs and many lows. Between procrastinating on an essay that is due at midnight to getting your first library card (if you know what I mean), college is a time that you should not take for granted, yet it is also a time where you feel like your entire world is falling apart. It is a time where one day you can feel like you are on top of the world and then the next day you are 500 feet below the ground surface.
