No fewer than three fried chicken options on campus, please

If this isn’t already a regular part of your week, it’s about to be. Three new food trucks on campus offer good food, take Flex, card and cash, and deliver with the Starships. The food trucks park on Business Row Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Food truck specialties

Chick in the Box: chicken fingers or wings come with a side of chicken salad

Wiggly’s Tacos & Burritos: California-style burritos

Hotbox Hibachi: hibachi boxes with yum yum sauce

Bonus food truck: the Blenz Smoothie Bowl truck has smoothies and smoothie bowls on campus, but you gotta catch it! Check its Instagram stories to see where it is on campus each day.

Counseling Center hot minute

You know that you can make an appointment with the University Counseling Center to talk to someone. But what if you just need a little help right now?

If your appointment hasn’t come up yet, or you want to get some help on your own time, try UCC’s Therapy Assistance Online, or TAO Connect. It’s a free, self-guided online tool with interactive education, journaling and the ability to measure progress. It’s meant to help with anxiety, depression, substance abuse, anger, sexual violence, grief and more.

Questions for upperclassmen

We asked students what they wanted to know about Ole Miss... and someone needs our help! We know y’all have some answers for this one:

Question: “How do I make more friends??”
