The Great Ramen Debate

Who knew that there's a bunch of ways to eat it?

The Great Ramen Debate

Ramen: all college students live off it, high schoolers snack on it, and you hope and pray that you don't have to live off it as an adult. But, the question arises, how does one properly make a bowl of ramen?

My sister and I debated this growing up. Do you add enough water to create a broth or do you add just enough so the noodles absorb all the water and flavor? I'm on the broth side so the noodles aren't too salty (like ramen will even be not a bowl of sodium). However, my sister prefers to have no broth, it creates a more creamy soft noodle that is a lot thicker noodle.

Then we get into the adding fancy things or leaving it plain. Kyle Jenner's ramen was a social media trend, including adding an egg, chives, and other spices. If you look for ramen upgrades on google you'll find endless options of ways to improve your 25 cent meal. I'll do all college students a favor and include a few recipes. I'm on the side of adding things if you can. If you can improve your meal, why wouldn't you?

Then you get into the which flavor is the best. You've got Chicken Flavor, Chicken Mushroom Flavor, Creamy Chicken Flavor, Roast Chicken Flavor, Picante Chicken Flavor, Beef Flavor, Sriracha Chicken, Picante Beef Flavor, Roast Beef Flavor, Shrimp Flavor, Lime Shrimp Flavor, Lime Chili Shrimp Flavor, Chili Flavor, Chicken Tortilla, Pork Flavor, and Oriental Flavor. If you haven't tried the Picante Chicken, you're missing out. Savory and spicy, it's a perfect combination.

As promised, here's a handy infographic of how to kick that ramen up enough if you're brave enough.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
