The 10 Best Restaurants in Charlottesville, VA

In honor of being away from my hometown, Charlottesville, Virginia, I've decided to name some of the best restaurants from my hometown that i've eaten out at:

1. Travinia Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar

In my opinion, this is the best restaurant in Charlottesville i've eaten at- largely, in part, because the sausage and peppers rustica is the best Italian dish I've ever had.

2. Burtons Grill

Another great restaurant located in the Stonefield Shopping Center. Burtons has a great variety of American classics ranging from pastas, seafoods, sandwiches etc. My favorite thing to eat at Burtons is the Maxx Burger which features Angus beef, as well as a special sauce to make the burger standout.

3. Mellow Mushroom

If you're addicted to pizza, like I am, this is the best place in Charlottesville to get your pizza fix. Mellow Mushroom has a wide variety of pizzas with different toppings and sauces. My favorite pizza would have to be the mighty meaty which features meatballs, ham, pepperoni and bacon with a parmesan crust.

4. Bodo's Bagels

Bodo's has the best New York style bagels in all of Charlottesville and is one of the most popular restaurants consistently amongst locals. My favorite thing to get from Bodo's is a Bacon Egg and Cheese on a Cinnamon Raisin Bagel which is amazing.

5. Sedona Taphouse

A great restaurant with an even better atmosphere and wonderful food. I was really impressed with the Flat Iron Steak with Mushroom Cream Sauce that I ordered. The steak was so tender and melted in your mouth.

6. Moe's BBQ

This is by far one of the best barbecue restaurants in Charlottesville. Moe's is known for a great pulled pork sandwich with a toasted bun as well as being know for having a wide variety of different sides such as Oreo Mud Pie and Cornbread.

7. Ole Virginia Fried Chicken

A small chicken shack, which has the best fried chicken in Charlottesville. In addition, the mashed potatoes and gravy are the best potatoes I've ever had, as well as the fried chicken being the best ever.

8. Yearbook Taco Bar

An up and coming restaurant on the downtown mall that offers a great range of Mexican food from tacos, burritos and much more. My favorite plate of food would have to be the chorizo burrito served with a green tomatillo salsa on top.

9. The Nook Restaurant

This restaurant is named Charlottesville's Original Downtown Diner and offers a vast number of choices and a classic diner feel. My favorite meal would have to be a chocolate Oreo milkshake to go with a chili stuffed grilled cheese sandwich, which was very tasty.

10. Fry's Spring Station

The building of this restaurant used to be a car mechanics garage. I ate at this place in May of 2015 under original ownership and I thought the food was very light and well executed. My favorite plate of food from this restaurant would be a warm chocolate chip cookie cooked in a skillet with vanilla ice cream. This restaurant has changed ownership since then but it's better than ever.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
