On my first day of quarantine, my very kind boyfriend retrieved my short list of groceries to get through the week. With $32 worth of items, I masterfully created these subpar meals. Some of these meals were a pleasant surprise, while others made me wish I had lost my sense of taste and smell.

Pivovar, a Czech-inspired brewery and restaurant, is an exciting new addition to Waco’s food scene. Pivovar’s ambience and unique dishes will keep me coming back because it is just that good.
The plot of the newest Tom Holland “Spider-Man” movie falls flat, traded in for nostalgia and tear-jerk moments.
Kermit Oliver’s “New Narratives, New Beginnings” exhibit displays intricate silk scarves and lifelike portraits of Texas wildlife and ordinary people.
Villains with a backstory are great. However, that backstory shouldn’t always try to make the audience sympathize with the villain. A character’s actions can be understandable without being justifiable, and so many writers miss this when trying to bring depth and context to a villain.
Nobody wants to seem like they don’t understand a piece of art, but “Dawn FM” is hard to appreciate without suspending one’s own personal feelings on topics like death, mortality and even their religion.
“Don’t Look Up” is a satirical apocalyptic film about a comet hurtling toward Earth that will make a catastrophic impact in six months. However, when the scientists bring the news to the White House and the media, no one seems interested.
Adele’s music has typically been regarded as something to either sob to or show off your lung capacity. The newest album is still perfect for a late-night drive when you need to feel out all your emotions, but Adele did something unique with “30.”
Christmas movies are easy to find these days. There are the classics that you watch every time December rolls around, and there are always new ones being released. It can be hard to narrow it down, so here are the top five Christmas movies you should be sure to watch this holiday season (in no certain order).
“Everyone there loves being there, and that’s the difference between high school band and college band. In high school, you have to be in marching band if you want to be in concert band, but people sign up for BUGWB because they love it so much and they keep coming back because it’s an amazing place. If the people weren’t there, it would be a completely different experience,” Nielsen said.
“This is a story about displaced people who build a home from nothing,” The New York Times said. “Their history is the source of their magic, and they use that magic to selflessly improve their community, without needing to assimilate into it. Given our nation’s track record on these subjects, to see such a tale in a children’s movie is quietly extraordinary.”
In the busyness of life today, most people forget the importance of genuine human connection and meaningful conversations. This value was never lost at Casa De Castillo. In fact, it is the heart of the restaurant.

The whole situation reminded me of when I had a Taco Bell Crunchwrap Supreme for the first time — love at first bite.
After seeing it in theaters, “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” exceeded my expectations. Not only was the acting great, but the plot and effects were up to par as well. I felt that this version also paid homage to the original “Ghostbusters” movie and the original characters.
Wako Roll is one of the best restaurants in Waco to visit if you’re looking for something to change up your regular food routine. The options are plenty, the food is tasty and the experience is like no other.
Joining Waco Roller Derby will prepare anyone who shows interest in elevating their skills by providing derby practices, additional skate sessions, speed endurance drills and basic skate technique classes which are all included as a roller derby member.
Taylor Swift, Adele and more top the list of this semester’s best album releases.
The show and characters are based on the video game “League of Legends” by Riot Games, but both video game veterans and people with no knowledge or interest in the game can follow along. The first three episodes set up the main characters and their personalities perfectly and set them on a course for growth.
The original TV series was filled with plot twists and turns that are attempted in the movie adaptation. However, they just make the movie entirely unrealistic and rushed.
The dinner has been a fixture in student life and one of the most widely attended university events for years, even persevering through COVID-19 as a nearly contactless event last fall.
Don’t be afraid to venture out into the small businesses of Waco. You surely won’t be disappointed.
Waco has a new hibachi restaurant, and where it lacks in flavor, it makes up for in its ambiance and good sushi.
“Everyone’s here early, everyone’s working and they really are passionate about what they’re doing,” Pflugerville sophomore Winston Ross said. “It’s that level of passion that brings advancement.”
The R&B duo made up of Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak has created the perfect nostalgia-infused album.
“Red (Taylor’s Version)” is filled with nostalgia for Swift herself and for those who grew up with her and her music. In “State of Grace” she sings, “… this is the golden age of something good and right and real.” That is exactly what this album is for her.
Friendsgiving is a time to be surrounded by your closest friends, relax and just spend time together. It doesn’t have to look perfect or live up to certain expectations.
