Daily Cardinal restaurant review: New restaurants on campus worth trying By Ashley Luehmann THE DAILY CARDINAL
Over the summer, the area surrounding UW-Madison has seen some new places to eat and drink. College students do enjoy their food, and I am sure there are many who cannot wait to try out the new eats around campus. I am here to give my take on a couple new eateries that recently opened their doors. Valentia Coffee Valentia Coffee is a modern, yet cozy spot nestled in East Campus Mall. The owners of Coffeebytes, the previous shop, decided it was time to give the coffee shop a makeover and Valentia Coffee was born. I predict this will be a hot spot on campus. The drinks are good, and the food is even better. What separates Valentia from the other coffee shops near UW-Madison? Well, to start, they have amazing iced coffee. Instead of some brewed coffee with ice cubes floating in it, they brew their iced coffee with espresso shots. Don’t ask me how they do it, but let me tell you — it’s just what you need to make it through that 9 a.m. or 3 p.m. class (I definitely won’t judge). If study snacks are more your vibe, the baristas recommend trying a cinnamon roll — they are supposed to be out of this world. Frutta Bowl Opening its doors this past July on State Street, Frutta Bowl is already leaving its mark on UW-Madison. Filling the açaí bowl hole
Jamba Juice left us in after abruptly closing, this restaurant gives us new meaning to the words “Taste the Rainbow.” Offering options like fruit, granola, nut butter or even Nutella, they can satisfy any craving. A quick overview of this place is that they are a smoothie bowl shop that offers three typical bowl bases: açaí, pitaya and kale. You can then pick from their signature bowls or customize your own with an assortment of toppings. Their fourth base option is one I found exceptionally unique: oatmeal bowls. These are perfect for the chilly days that constantly plague UW-Madison, especially in winter. Overall, this is a great restaurant if you’re craving a smoothie or want to pretend to be healthy for a day. Poke It Up Oh baby, I have waited patiently for a poke place to come to campus for so long. Seemingly, in the middle of the night, three popped up all around the State Street area. We have Poke it up, Poke Plus, and Freshfin Poke (opening some time soon). Out of the two open in this area, I have to say my favorite is Poke it up. They give you generous amounts of seafood and have a bountiful selection of toppings to make your poke perfect. What stands out to me is the way their rice is expertly cooked, while Poke Plus’ has a vinegary tang. If rice isn’t your thing, you can also opt to build your bowl over
leafy greens. I like to describe poke as Chipotle but with sushi because you can cus-
tomize everything to your liking. If you’re feeling adventurous definitely check one of these spots out.

Managing money when you don’t have any: A college student’s guide By Ally Jansen LIFE AND STYLE EDITOR
As college students, money is something we could always use more of. For some students, a parttime job may be a feasible thing that brings in a little cash flow, but for others there is simply no time. Between a busy class schedule, multiple extracurriculars, some resemblance of a social life and getting at least a little sleep at night, I personally do not have
the time to fit a job in. Trust me when I say I wish I could, because managing money is not my finest art. But thanks to the lack of absolutely any income during the school year, I have come up with a few tips to help others spend as little as possible to make their dollars go the extra mile. Saving on Coffee I understand that most college students need their daily caffeine fix or two, but there are ways to do this that don’t involve going to the

Keurigs add a pop of color while also saving money.
nearest coffee shop and forking out 4 or 5 bucks for a coffee worth mere cents if made at home. If you get a coffee for $4 once a day that adds up to almost $30 in a week. I don’t know about you, but to me $30 is almost enough to buy groceries for an entire week. I suggest investing in a Keurig or even a simple coffee-pot. Eventually, you will find yourself saving so much more money than if you had continued buying a coffee every morning. You can continue to treat yourself every now and then, just don’t do it everyday — your wallet will thank you. Eating Out is a No-No Everyone likes to eat out. This is a widely-known fact. There is nothing wrong with grabbing food with some friends every now and then, but it you find yourself eating out or ordering delivery more than once a week you definitely need to cut back. Each time you order, it probably ends up to be about $10, which is way too much to be spending on only one meal. If you are a freshman, or even one of the more rare upperclassmen who are still in the dorms, eat in the dining halls. The food is cheap and not terrible; in fact, it is actually pretty good! If you happen to live off campus, cook meals yourself.
Buying groceries for each week is much less expensive than ordering food. And if you don’t know how to cook, remember there’s always macaroni and cheese or ramen noodles! Budgeting is Crucial I believe a large part of managing money is making sure you’re not spending too much for the time a semester takes. After working for the summer, I will add up all the money I have earned and then decide how much I can spend on things like food, fun or shopping without running out before the year is up. Not having a job during the school year makes budgeting crucial; without any money coming in, running out is that much easier. You definitely don’t want to find yourself without money for food while there’s still a few weeks before your summer job starts again. I’m sure there are other tips and tricks to help manage money, but these are a few of my favorites that I constantly remind myself to follow. Everyone knows how stressful college can be, which is why it is importantly to effectively manage your money. Having managed finances will be one less thing for a busy college student to stress about!
