A Breakup Letter To Basho

I puked up 13 dollars worth of sushi that night.

Oh the great George Sherman Union. The hub of college students looking for a quick meal between or after a long day of classes.

And if you're anything like me, you get sick of the same stir fry and salad bar they have at the dining hall. So, the George Sherman Union is your best bet. If you know anything about me, you know I am a huge sushi lover. It's my favorite food. And I love going to Basho, not only because it is convenient, but because their sushi bowls are so good. My typical order is white rice, seaweed, cucumbers, avocado, spicy tuna, and unagi sauce. But on September 22, I had a bad encounter with the that order. I brought the food back to my dorm and ate it while watching "Bojack Horseman."

Everything seemed perfectly normal. The sushi didn't taste weird or have a smell to it. But an hour after consuming my meal, I was overcome by a nauseous feeling that spread throughout my body. I had to rush to the bathroom and I vomited about eight times that night. Even the act of falling asleep became difficult because I still had the feeling of puking. Critics to my argument might say it could have been something else I ate but the last time I ate was around noon and I had a turkey sandwich and a cucumber and tomato salad from the dining hall.

I'm utterly convinced my sickness was caused by the bad sushi I ate.

I understand that I went rather late in the day close to closing time, but that isn't an excuse to serve food that can make people sick. I'm curious to see if anyone else got sick because of Basho. I've always heard rumors but I never thought it would happen to me.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
