An Ode To Cup Noodles, Because Yes, They Deserve It

I have yet to meet a college student who doesn't have at least a few packs of Cup Noodles in their dorm.

An Ode To Cup Noodles, Because Yes, They Deserve It

Previously, I wrote an article titled "My Ode To Granola Bars," and this is once again is a tribute to something that I could not have survived college without.

I came into college foolishly believing that dining hall food would suffice, and it did for my first year of college, but come my second year, I just could not bring myself to eat overly salted fries or orange-flavored chicken. I'm not even kidding about the chicken, seriously. I don't eat Cup Noodles every day, but when I'm craving it, I'll have a cup or two. Not to mention, Cup Noodles are extremely easy to prepare. I'm no Master Chef, but I can sure boil some water.

To a college student, the best foods are the ones that are the quickest to make when you're looking to eat something quick and convenient. Cup Noodles come in handy especially when it's raining or when you're snowed in. They're also sold for a pretty reasonable price, and there's a variety to choose from. Nothing will ever beat Shin Ramyun though.

I honestly have not met a single college student who doesn't have at least a few packs of Cup Noodles in their dorm. My suitemate eats Cup Noodles at 8 AM in the morning for breakfast, and another one of my friends eats two at a time for dinner. Some people may see Cup Noodles as the lazy way out of having an actual meal, but it's necessary at times because school food won't always cut it. Of course, you shouldn't depend on Cup Noodles entirely, but you should always have a few on you for emergencies and for those desperate times during finals season.

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.
