7 Ways to Spice Up Your Ramen

When times are tough and you have to pinch pennies, college kids willingly live on cheese and crackers, pop tarts, and (the fan favorite) ramen noodles. Whether it's your average Cup Noodles or your Top Ramen packets, not many people will protest gobbling down carbs, as long as their bellies are full.

That is, until it becomes an every day meal and you don't enjoy eating anymore. Well, I am here to tell you that there is a solution. Below are some secret recipes that I have collected from friends that solve your impoverished eating habits.

"Prison Break"

Giphy

It sounds like a weird mix at first, but it's apparently really delicious. First you take a Cup Noodle (chicken flavored) and cook it, then you remove all of the broth. Then you take cheese dip, summer sausage, pickles, and small bag of nacho cheese Doritos and warm it up a little. Then you have your new meal!

Lime Juice

Giphy

You take your Top Ramen and your Cup Noodles, pour out half of the broth and add lime juice to your leisure, however sour you'd want.

"Maryland Ramen"

Giphy

Cook your Shrimp flavored Ramen as normal, add some Old Bay seasoning, and maybe some pre-steamed imitation crab, depending on your feelings of crab. This is a good mix, and pays lovely homage to Maryland.

Eggs!

Giphy

A lot of asian countries put eggs in their ramen because it's just so good. They can be poached, egg-dropped, fried, hardboiled, etc. A lot of recipes call for eggs to be seasoned with soy sauce. Maybe consider making this your next dish.

Sriracha and Garlic Powder

Giphy

If you have an affinity for spicy food, you definitely should drop a few teaspoons of Sriracha in your ramen and a dash of garlic powder. Apparently, it's the bomb. I have yet to try it.

Lemon Garlic

Giphy

A little bit of lemon and garlic powder goes a long way. A tangy and savory twist to your chicken flavored ramen could be your next go-to money-saving meal.

Breakfast Burrito Ramen!

Giphy

All you'll do is take your ramen, cook it, drain the noodles, add some cheese, and roll it in a tortilla! This is my personal favorite. You can also add some extra sauce if you want, but it's all up to your taste.

I hope these recipes were helpful, and you won't get tired of Ramen any time soon! Eventually you'll be back to normal meals, I promise!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.
