Well, Hello There

Halo Top? More like Halo Flop. Halo Top, the latest "too good to be true" fad food leaves much to be desired.

Food is one of my true loves on this earth and I will devour almost anything and everything happily. However, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't at the very least intrigued by this newfangled frozen treat selection. I have a sweet tooth with a mind of it's own that is constantly nagging me to satisfy it's cravings. Time after time, I disregarded Halo Top for my tried and true brand of choice, Ben and Jerry's. Until one day, after some hemming and hawing, I decided to

Steve, approves.  3) When you spend all your time on social media instead of working on that 10 page paper that's due in 2 weeks... 4) Or, when you decide to stay in and study like the responsible human you are, and get flack for it.  5) When you purge your hair of the zillions of layers of dry-shampoo for the first time in 4 days.  6) When you sit next to someone in class who you actually want to be friends with IRL.  7) When the house party is a sausage-fest.  8) And said house party is filled with eager Freshmen who will seriously regret their decisions in the morning. 9) But you watch from afar because your dance moves are on-point. 10) When you gather the courage to talk to the hottie you've been crushing on... 11) When the professor abruptly stop

These Midwestern haunts are sure to scare and thrill even the most skeptical of explorers. Bobby Mackey's Music World Not for the faint of heart, this location has a seriously negative reputation in the paranormal community. A place for live music, good times and sweet dance moves one might not guess something more sinister lurks behind these 4 walls. Rumored to contain an actual portal to Hell, Bobby Mackey's radiates a dark energy. The location is most famous for the tragic suicide of a young woman named Johanna. Johanna fell in love with singer Robert Randall, becoming pregnant with his child. Her father was outraged by this news and used unlawful means to have Randall killed.

Alas, the chilly months of fall have arrived. There's something about the crisp crunch of leaves beneath your feat and the blistering wind across your face that summons the craving for a hot cup-o'-Joe. Luckily, UWM is in close proximity to plenty of options to satisfy these java-fueled desires. Colectivo Coffee: An MKE legend, seemingly everyone and their Grandma love Colectivo coffee. I haven't ventured far from their plan black coffee because it's just that good! That's not to say they don't offer a wide variety of selections, Colectivo's got it all! There's not one, not two but, three Colectivo locations near UWM, each offering their own unique charm. Since I'm already shamelessly promoting this local gem, I'm going to advise you to grab a bite to eat while you're at it. I've tried a variety of things on their menu from sandwhiches to cookies and have never been disappointed. http://colectivocoffee.com/images/loyalty-banne
