11 Thoughts We All Have While Ordering Chipotle
Ben Gilbert

Burritos are life. How does one actually describe the satisfaction of ordering non-authentic Mexican food? It's impossible! And legend has it, there's a place where one can get the best burrito. It's Chipotle. There's only one problem; it's build-your-own-meal.

1. "Do I want to deal with the mess of a real burrito?"

Everything falls out, it breaks open, the salsa makes it soggy... Listen people! Burritos are messy! But a burrito bowl is just so unsatisfying. Oh, the internal battle...

2. "That chicken looks dry. That is chicken, right?"

I swear, all meat looks the same when it's been sitting out for two hours. And when you're standing in line with 20 people behind you and the guy is asking what meat you want, suddenly none of it looks appetizing.

3. "Will these beans haunt me later today?"

Sometimes we find ourselves in unprecedented situations. First dates, "sleep over," job interview and so on. Beans have been known to ruin these specific events. Do you foresee these events happening later?

4. "Wait, what kind of beans am I actually getting?"

This is when life starts to spiral downward. The guy is talking fast, you've never been here, and you aren't any kind of bean expert. Hail Mary, tell him you don't want the beans anymore!

5. Notices guacamole all over the kid's hands. "Is he going to change his gloves?"

There is something really odd about when you think about food touching. Especially when someone is preparing food. I mean, it's all going in the same places anyways. It still makes you cringe when you think about getting handed a burrito covered in guacamole you didn't order.

6. "Salsa or sour cream? Or both? Or guacamole?!"

You can have the best of both worlds, you can have the best of three worlds! But there's so many different salsas how will you ever choose?

7. "Guacamole is extra?!"

Wait, I have to pay extra for guacamole? What kind of place this is!?

8. "Jesus take the wheel."

Some people just hate places where you have to order food. Like Subway. I don't know what about it is just nerve-wracking. Everything looks the same, you are trying not to make the people in line mad, it's just a struggle.

9. "Boyfriend, please finish ordering for me."

The ultimate moment of defeat, when you've became so overwhelmed with the questions that finally ask your boyfriend to order for you. But in reality, it's just a trap to see if he really knows what you want on a burrito.

10. "No, don't order that! I don't like that!" or "Wow, he really knew what I wanted!"

This can end one of two ways. Your significant other either knows exactly what you want or he doesn't. This really is just a test of the relationship. This whole thing is a sham!

11. "This burrito was a mess."

Your initial instinct was correct, burritos are a complete mess and you just went through all that anxiety to have your hands covered in sour cream. Oh well, it builds character.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
