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

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?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

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. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
