It is well known that Virginia Tech has one of the best dining centers in the country. From lobster to cheese fries- you can get it all. However, the tiny town of Blacksburg is no joke when it comes to food. There is something yummy for any set of taste buds. Here are a few places any foodie should hit up in Blacksburg, Va.

1. Cabo Fish Taco

Buffalo Shrimp Tocos- YUM!! This place cannot be beat. Chips + Salsa = AMAZING. There is a wide variety of specialty tacos and quesadillas that would make any mouth water. While this is probably your most expensive meal of the week/month. It is still a great meal for under 20 with a tip. Check out Toco Tuesday, and do yourself a favor, order the Spinach Dip.

2. D.P. Dough

I don't care what anyone says — this is the best place in Blacksburg. Cheap, yummy, and filling. D.P. Dough is the perfect place to feed your 3 a.m. cravings. Open late, this Main Street eat offers a great selection of calzones. Don't forget to add cheese tots and cinnamon sticks!

3. Gobble Cakes

If you love cream cheese frosting, you're in luck! Gobble Cakes offers a daily variety of yummy cupcakes. My personal favorite is the cookies and cream. What a great way to treat yourself after a big test. Remember to grab some for friends!

4. Green's Grill and Sushi Bar

Greens is the only acceptable way to get your sushi fix in Blacksburg. The setting is a casual sit down great for celebrating birthdays (under 21). They even have Taco Tuesday specials!

5. El Rodeo

Nothing much to say about this place. You know if you live here.

6. Benny Marzano's

Pizza lovers unite. Ever imagine eating pizza the size of your head? Well, hit up Benny's. This is probably the most overrated eat in town. However, it never disappoints. The line from 12-2 a.m. is basically ridiculous, but at $5 it is a night out staple. This little shop is a great place for meeting friends, starting the night, ending the night, or a percentage night for your organization. Everyone. Loves. Benny's.

5. The Cellar

This place is a hole-in-the-wall bar at night, but the cheese fries are to die for. Literally. They're amazing, but are probably going to give you a stroke. Loaded with cheese and bacon. This is a plate large enough to share, even though you won't want to.

6. Joe's Diner

If you have the patience to wait in line on weekend mornings, this is hands down the best breakfast place in town. The eggs are like eating little clouds.

7. PK's Bar and Grill

Half off wing bites on Wednesday... is your mouth watering? Order in or carry out this place has your classic American favorites.

8. Carol Lee Donuts

This place is amazing. They only take cash, but they are very worth it. Warm, soft, and yummy.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
