I Finally Tried Popeyes' Chicken Sandwich, And It's DEFINITELY Not Worth Stabbing Someone Over

With all the political craziness currently happening, you'd think America would be more focused on vital issues than which fast-food chain has the best chicken sandwich, but apparently Popeyes' sandwich is so good that it created numerous 911 calls and serious violent outbursts.

I was definitely late to the sandwich wars, but in my defense, the infamous Popeyes chicken sandwich sold out so quickly that I was only recently able to hunt down a not-so-busy location after it made a comeback.

While I still can't believe that it's 2019 and these are the issues that we choose to award so much attention to, I have to admit that I was kind of excited to see what all the hype was about. I'm more of Wendy's girl, but I went out of my comfort zone to visit this foreign fast-food restaurant.

Even though it didn't appear to be very busy, the wait to get my food seemed a little ridiculous.

I felt as though time was moving slower because I was starving, but the clock validated my impatience when I realized I had been waiting for a damn sandwich for nearly fifteen minutes.

I kept my frustrations to myself because I'm not one to have a “can I talk to the manager" type of attitude. But the annoyance did not end there.

Paying is usually the easiest part: all you have to do is hand over your method of payment.

I somehow managed to become confused by how to do so with the unique revolving door that they call a drive-thru window. I pulled up ready to make a person-to-person transaction, but what actually happened was that a lady on the other side of the window was apparently directing me in a very muffled voice to put my card down, and she would turn it towards her.

It took me way longer than it should have to realize that the window was never actually going to open.

I waited a few minutes more and was finally granted the sandwich that stole Twitter's heart. I raced home to put users' obsession to the test:

It actually tasted very good. The perfect proportions of crispy and juicy.

Would I key someone's car for it? Probably not.

Was it better than Chik-fil-A's chicken sandwich? I think so. And, of course, I can always appreciate a brioche bun.

It had just the right amount of flavor, I just hope this one wasn't made on a trash can.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
