Spring Break Push: What To Stop Eating @ 2AM in Madison, Wisconsin
TripAdvisor

There is nothing more iconic than a college student’s spring break. Whether it be to Miami, Puerto Vallarta, or simply back home to the freezing cold (really sorry if that’s you), we look forward to these 7 days starting on the first day of school. And, for those of us that go to school in the icy midwest, we really, really, look forward to escaping the freezer that we stupidly volunteered to live in. The one and only downside about frolicking in bathing suits on the beach for a week and taking an obnoxious amount of Instagram photos is getting that bikini-bod back into shape… or attempting to, at least. Here’s a “spring break push” guide to any Badgers looking to shed off those cheese curds and pizza they’ve been incoherently inhaling every Thursday night since August. Yes, It’s time.

1. Say goodbye to mac n’ cheese Ian’s… for now.

We all know sprinting to Ian’s in the freezing cold after a night out is quite frankly inevitable. What isn’t inevitable, though, is not getting their pizza topped with mac n' cheese. Surprisingly, Ian's has “healthier” options (very relative word usage), such as vegan and vegetarian options. Vegetables? On pizza? Who knew.

2. Disco Fries. Just no.

As if Madison doesn’t have enough fried food to begin with, the opening of Disco Fries was honestly just rude (and simply amazing at the same time). Only those with true will-power can turn down their Donut Fries or Fry n’ Shake combo after Brats, considering it is right next door. My advice: resist those neon-pink glowing letters and resort to something a little less, well, you know...fried.

3. Do not dial PDR.

PUT THE PHONE DOWN. It almost seems like an out-of-body impulse to order Pizza Di Roma once you get back home. Even if you don’t want it, someone ends up ordering it, and of course, you end up eating it. Although you have no control over what foods your friends late-night order, make an effort to make sure that that friend isn't you. You’ll thank yourself later.

4. The Short Stack pancakes can wait.

To be completely honest, the idea of creating a 24/7 breakfast place was sheer genius. Kudos to that. But, a stack of chocolate chip pancakes with a side of bacon and breakfast potatoes might not be your wisest choice with that tropical vacation so close. Go for the eggs or granola if you find yourself here at 3AM, which is what ends up happening most nights.

5. Leia’s Lunchbox… oh boy.

Let me just say: this food cart is dangerous. Like, painfully dangerous. From fried mac n’ cheese bites to fried cookie dough to fried pizza bites, you are seriously doomed the second you place an order. Although this food truck is only out when the weather isn’t unbearably freezing (which is not often), take a detour home when it is, because Leia will find you. And she will get you.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
