<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you’re like most Tulane students, you can’t go a day without posting a Throwback Thursday to your favorite tailgate, a Snapchat story of your Howie T study sesh, or wearing that trusty green and blue pom pom beanie when the temperature drops anywhere below sixty degrees. The Tulane and New Orleans spirit is contagious- but how can you continue to rep the best when you go home for winter break? Here are the best go-to’s to ensure you don’t lose any newfound Big Easy pride when you’re back in your hometown. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">1. While you can’t go to Cafe Du Monde at any given hour of the day, you can still purchase <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Cafe-Du-Monde-Beignet-Mix/dp/B007NJT9ZS">your favorite beignet mix</a> from any Cafe Du Monde shop. And if you’re already on your way home, MSY conveniently sells tubs of the powdered goodness ready to be whipped up in your kitchen!</span></p>

Are your friends sick of you constantly chanting “Roll Wave!”? Make sure to overuse phrases like “y’all” and “who dat?” to really overdue it- they’ll be planning their next visit in no time!</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">3. Sure, beignets are a fan favorite Nola treat, but what about some of your favorite Creole dishes that you’ll miss back home? Yes- there are meals where you shouldn’t </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">just </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">be eating fried pastries. </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Picayunes-Creole-Cook-Book/dp/1314619276">The Picayune</a>, </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">New Orleans infamous newspaper, released the yummiest, spiciest, most Creole filled cookbook money can buy. Introduce your friends to BBQ shrimp, Jambalaya and delicate po’boys New Orleans style! It’s also a great holiday gift for anyone who loves to cook.</span></p>
<p><img class=" wp-image-2486 aligncenter" src="https://tulanemagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/Screen-Shot-2017-12-20-at-8.34.11-PM.png" alt="Screen Shot 2017-12-20 at 8.34.11 PM.png" width="316" height="478" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">4. In between your newfound phrases and lip smacking meals, you’re going to need something to fill the air. Make sure you blast a Spotify playlist filled with everything from Louis Armstrong to Wynton Marsalis to Fats Domino. New Orleans is the birthplace of jazz and don’t let anyone within a one mile radius of your house forget it. Or make sure to check out our &#8220;NOLA Vibes&#8221; playlist on <a href="spotify:user:ro62csbgm5ih25b99j3ypye6z">Spotify here</a>!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Embracing who you are and where you live is an important aspect of life. While Winter break is only a month long, it’s important to embrace the roots you have already begun to grow in the world’s best city! </span></p>
