How To Become A Ramen Shaman

Upgrade your instant ramen to first class.

How To Become A Ramen Shaman
Teresa Vu

After today, you will no longer have to feel the slightest bit shameful for having instant ramen for dinner tonight because you, my friend, will be fine-dining.

Heck, I even dare you to go ahead and snap a photo of what your dinner will look like after following these words of wisdom, and share it on your story board. Within minutes, all of your friends will be running to you, eager to know where it was, exactly, you went for your scrumptious ramen meal. And chances are, even if you were to precede to tell them the honest truth, that you really did get it from Wal-Mart, Shoprite, or whatever your local supermarket may be, they'll probably think you're just pulling their leg.

1. Invest in a cool, spiffy bowl.

Seriously, did you really think that you would fool anyone into believing that you're eating gourmet style if you're eating straight out of a cup noodle container?

2. Get your instant ramen, check!

Have your pick at whatever instant ramen is your favorite or whatever is the most budget-friendly for you. For demonstration purposes, I used Shin Ramen.

3. Gather your ingredients

Soft, boiled eggs! I cannot stress the importance of having a good, soft, boiled egg in your bowl of ramen. How can you deny the egg? If you're looking to prepare a simple presentable bowl of ramen, then an egg, some greens and sesame seeds alone should suffice. But, if you're looking to go a little fancier then feel free to add in whatever other spiffy ingredients you got laying around. It can be whatever leftover you may have (shredded up chicken, bacon slices, corn, etc.).

4. Constructing the bowl.

This part is pretty self-explanatory. You just put everything together like so, and voila! Hardest part of actually reaching Ramen Shaman status is probably perfecting the art of soft boiled eggs, which you too can learn to master here.

And high five suckers! We didn't do a shabby job, did we?

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
