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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
