Condado Tacos

-
Ada, Ohio is not the greatest place to live when you like to eat a variety of foods. The small town has a total of 10 restaurants and two of those restaurants are fast food. My personal favorite genre of food to eat is Mexican. Ada only has one Mexican restaurant in town and it is very classic American which gets old quickly. 
I got the chance to head into Dublin, Ohio to check out Condado this past weekend. Condado is a modern make-your-own taco restaurant allowing customers to get creative with interesting, high-quality ingredients. If the customer isn’t feeling creative they can pick from an assortment of tacos which don’t need customization. 
I was not feeling creative so I decided to choose from the menu of different tacos. I chose the special of the month which was a walking taco with ground beef and a ranch sauce packed into a bag of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. I’m a sucker for a walking taco so I really enjoyed the twist on such a classic food. 
While waiting for my walking taco, I got a trio of dips. The dips I chose were diablo queso, southwestern queso and balsamic guacamole. The shining star of the trio was the balsamic guacamole, it came with balsamic glaze, feta cheese and lots of tomatoes. This guacamole was a step above any basic dish I have ever had and I would drive an hour just to eat it again. 
Honestly, modern restaurants, like Condado, are becoming more and more popular as consumers aspire to become like social media influencers. Restaurants are aesthetically pleasing and photo ready at all times so customers are posting about these new and interesting places. I think it all comes from the restaurants want for unpaid press and the customers need to seem cool to all of their friends.
All-in-all, I really enjoyed my time at Condado and the experience I had there. I recommend Flamin’ Hot Cheetos walking tacos and balsamic guacamole, it could change your view on the modern world of Mexican food. I hope in the future I can continue finding other influencer worthy Mexican restaurants.

    I LOVE CONDADOS. Every time I visit my friends at Ohio State I make sure that we go and get tacos. If you go back, I recommend getting the "Sweet Lucy" shell. It has a flour soft shell and a corn hard shell, but between them they put queso and quac. It's great! I also heard that one was coming to Dayton, Ohio. I can't wait!

    I remember growing up with walking tacos at school. This one looks a lot better! Field trip anyone?

Stuck at home for spring break

-
Spring break for college students is always an interesting time of the year. As students, we are as broke as a person can be, yet we still plan crazy expensive trips to Florida each spring break. I am very broke and also have very broke friends so each year I spend spring break in cold, dreary Ohio. Each year I make the most out of my spring breaks and choose to do fun, but inexpensive activities throughout the week. Here are my top 3 favorite things to do when stuck in Ohio. 1.  Axe throwing I know this sounds kind of dangerous. It is such a great experience and it 100% safe. I went to Class Axe in Cincinnati. It was about $32 dollars per person to go and you can have up to 12 people in your lanes. You learn fun little games that give you chances the throw the axes all the time. It gets your adrenaline pumping because you want to win the game for your team. I almost was my lanes ultimate champ, no big deal. You get to choose a fun ‘axe’ name instead of having a real name a

Learning to feed the content monster

Social media is a great tool and I’ve been using it ever since my mom let me get facebook when I was maybe 12 years old. Which now that I think about it is too young to be on the internet with a public profile. My facebook still has embarrassing photos of me from 7th grade I swear. In my social media principles class, we are reading a book by Guy Kawasaki called, The Art of Social Media . I’ve only read the first three chapters so far, but each page is beyond insightful. One of my favorite sections is about “feeding the content monster” which is exactly what blogging is like. Finding content, creating said content, and making it interesting enough that those viewing it don’t click away. That may seem easy but it really isn’t. The most useful tip in chapter two for me is the idea of creating an editorial calendar. This is essentially a map of what content to post when, where, why, and to whom. Kawasaki himself is not a huge fan of mapping content out in an editorial calendar bu

Getting involved on campus

-
“What clubs or organizations are you involved in?” That statement is actually the worst question to get asked right behind, “So, What are you doing after graduation?” This is asked by parents, friends, strangers, future employers… you never know. Having nothing to respond with and just babbling nonsense of how you are really busy with classes or you don’t really know because you are in a broad field is the wrong thing to say. I know this through a lot of experience from interviews to extended-family vacations, I’m here to give everyone tips of how to get more involved on ONU’s campus. Go to activity fairs Each semester the University holds activity fairs full of clubs and organizations looking to let everyone in. Most clubs and orgs. Will have sign up sheets that just require and email address so they can send you more information. Easy-peasy. When all the clubs and orgs. You were interested in email you about meetings or events it will give you a chance to show up once
