An Open Love Letter To Chipotle

So many options, so little time.

An Open Love Letter To Chipotle
Michael Saechang

My dearest Chipotle,

Recently, an article came out about how there are some college students who refuse to eat your fabulous food. While I agree with some points, I believe that in the past few years, this company has completely redone how they operate. Personally, I think that is amazing. I wanted to take the time to write out this love letter. I don't think that you get enough recognition for the fabulousness you provide, especially for us college students.

Yes, eight dollars is a bit for a college kid to cash out (mostly because we typically only have less than ten dollars in our bank accounts). If you think about it, the options are endless and there's so much one person can add. Extra rice? For free? That's a college student's favorite word! Hit me up. Adding veggies to chicken for free? Yes, please! Really, the only thing we're paying for is the meat. Everything else is free of charge. Blessed much?

Can we talk about the corn for a hot second? This stuff is perfection. I've tried to recreate the corn at home and it just cannot be done. I don't know what's added to this stuff. Unicorn dust? Fairy glitter? What makes it so good? Seriously. I need to know!

Where ever I travel, there has always been a Chipotle around five miles away (almost always). If I'm having a bad week, I know I can always count on a burrito bowl to make my day a little bit better.

Many say that this company isn't healthy. I think that that's a bunch of malarky. Want to be healthy? Brown rice instead if white. Want to add more protein? Black beans. If you're a vegetarian or vegan, they have options for you too. Yes, the sour cream is fattening. Yes, the white rice is full of carbs. Guess what. No one is making anyone eat it. If the customer wants to be healthy, they have all the resources to be healthy. Hell, they even have a salad option (just found this out, pretty fantastic salad if you ask me).

Most of the time, when there's an E-Coli breakout, the whole company shuts down. This company figured out what was wrong, turned themselves around, and came out on top. If that doesn't show perseverance, then I don't know what does.

So, Chipotle, thank your fo being you. Thank you for making my stressful days a million times better. Thanks for not shutting down when everyone else doubted you. You ROCK.

Love,

You're loyal fan

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
