The TCU 22: The Places We Gain It

The TCU 22: The Places We Gain It

1. Chick-Fil-A

Yes, especially being a freshman and realizing that BLUU food is nearly inedible, this is where I spend my time. But you have to admit, the eight piece and regular fry with Chick-Fil-A sauce makes you just want to crawl into bed and cry for a little, right?

2. Dutch’s

This is the only place to order a burger with a side of heartburn and feel good about it. I would want the bacon bleu burger to be my last meal on earth in all honesty.

3. Whataburger

This is the only place you can go at 3 a.m. every Sunday morning for three honey butter chicken biscuits and a large fry for that “Idk if I want breakfast or dinner” mood.

4. Toppers

I will admit that my suite-mates and I engaged in Toppers Tuesday every Tuesday this semester, where pizza was buy one get one free. I don’t regret a thing

5. Fuzzy’s

Thank you, TCU, for placing this delicious establishment within walking distance of campus. I want a bathtub in my room solely so I can bathe in your queso.

6. Chipotle

Yes I know guacamole is extra, and yes, I would like five scoops of it on top of chicken, pinto beans, brown rice, cheese, and pico de gallo in a burrito bowl to go.

7. Joe T. Garcia's

Holy cow, I did not ever expect the food to be so good. Also, serving sizes are huge, so make sure you’re wearing loose clothing when you walk in.

8. Mellow Mushroom

I remember the first time I walked into Mellow Mushroom. I remember thinking: is this what heaven looks like?

9. Kona Grill

Again, my suite-mates and I engaged in another weekly ritual: Wasabi Wednesday. Though it is not quite as unhealthy as Toppers Tuesday, we can’t say it's salad.

10. Pizza Snob

Okay, no lie: best pizza I have ever had.

11. Starbucks

I walked on to campus in August with over $125 of Starbucks graduation gift cards. Guess how much I have left.

12. Ol' South Pancake House

Never have I ever been able to get into this selective breakfast establishment on a Sunday morning – but now it's on my bucket list.

13. Buffalo Bros

So I am sad to say I have never tried Buffalo Bros, but this is where you can always find my group of friends. “Where are y—wait, never mind.”

14. Raising Canes

When you run out of campus cash but want something that tastes a lot like Chick-Fil-A, this is your place.


15. Smoothie King

What? No. I lose weight going in there. Keep telling yourself that.

16. Taco Bell

Honestly have no idea where one is around campus, but I constantly hear people wanting a Baja Blast, so…

17. Sweet Sammies

So we’ve eaten breakfast, two lunches, and four dinners. Dessert?



18. Potbelly's

I had my very first potbelly sandwich the other day. WARNING: once experienced, you will always want more.

19. Einstein Bros. Bagels

This is the most conveniently located establishment adjacent to my dorm. Thank you God for giving me the gift of a bagel thin with nova lox.

20. iHop

When you’re up studying until 4 a.m. and you’re kind of like, hey, maybe if I just go eat breakfast now, I can skip sleeping altogether.

21. Union Grounds

“Hey Big, can you pay for my Doritos, M&M’s, Easy Mac, Bagel Bites, Steel City Pops, Ben & Jerry’s, and coffee from market square?” “Is that all?” -- actual conversation that happened inside of union grounds.

22. Market Square

We were all at this point where this is where we ate all day every day. It was for one of two reasons: either we spent all the rest of our money at one of the establishments listed above, or we just really missed Cindy.


So thanks, TCU, for the 22.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.
