Oh my dear Ramen noodles, how you fill my tummy with yumminess, and oh what a joy it is that you are of such a decent price that my wallet never has to fear its own eternal emptiness. Ramen, you give me the energy to continue to strive towards the completion of my college education. For that I thank you and eat a delicious shrimp version of yourself. There are so many times where you are the main inspiration for me to get out of bed in the morning. Not only do you help me to go about life with a positive attitude, but you also give me the ability to deal with all of the overly obnoxious people that are prevalent in my day-to-day life. Without you, I fear that I may throttle them the next time I see them, but with just a small simple sip of your beef broth, I feel the adrenaline fade from my veins and instead a beautiful euphoria settles over my soul.

There are so many moments where I find myself daydreaming about your delectable noodles in the middle of class. The fact that it barely takes five minutes to create you and soothe my aching belly is a blessing in its own. Sometimes I wish I could find your creator and hug them, for having you in my life is one of the key reasons I am the person that I am today. Oh Ramen noodles, if only there were more flavors of you that I could enjoy. If there were more than just beef, chicken, roast chicken, shrimp, oriental, hot chili, hot and spicy chicken, lime with shrimp, nissin chili, creamy chicken, pork, picante chicken, roast beef, and mushroom, I fear that I would lose myself in a ridiculous fit of joy.

Sometimes I count the days that pass by with the different colors of your packaging. Mondays are blue oriental days, Tuesdays are pink shrimp days, Wednesdays are maroon teriyaki chicken days, Thursdays are orange chicken days, Fridays are yellow creamy chicken days, Saturdays are red beef days, and Sundays are bright green cajun chicken days. Then it just repeats. Some people may find this a silly way to pass the time or a nonsensical article describing an irrational devotion towards a food article, but other people may see some strange hidden meaning within these words; a hidden context if you will. Neither is wrong, yet neither is right. There is no specific reason for an articles existence, such as there is no specific reason for the number of flavors of ramen noodles; as there is no reason more flavors should not be made. We live in a mad, mad world full of wonder and strangenesses; and sometimes we need the simple things, like ramen noodles. So, needless to say, you are one of a kind my love; and you will be forever in my heart.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.

As most of us already know, Friends is one of the greatest television series ever produced. The cast is genius. The humor never gets old. The episodes are relatable and timeless.

I can easily say that I have watched each season at least three times and I belly laugh harder every time. All Friends fans can agree that there are certain lines that form a bond between us and when heard one cannot help but laugh.

The infamous RBF is something I have and am known for. It’s kind of exhausting to be asked if you're okay all the time or being told to smile more. Girls with RBF get judged to be mean and rude much quicker than the girl who is always smiling. It’s true and just plain natural for someone who is generally smiling all the time to come off as more trustworthy and I've gotten used to it. I used to think that having a Resting Bitch Face was only a bad thing until I realized that just like anything else, it also has its perks. Having a permafrown with a piercing look comes with great power.

Parks and Rec
IndieWire

We all know that Parks and Recreation is one of the greatest shows ever to air on TV. As we watched every episode, we all found a piece of us in each character (even Jerry). From the moment we met the pit, to the time we saw it flourish into a beautiful park, we all had developed a little bit of Pawnee, Indiana in our hearts.
