A Breakup Letter To Basho

I puked up 13 dollars worth of sushi that night.

Oh the great George Sherman Union. The hub of college students looking for a quick meal between or after a long day of classes.

And if you're anything like me, you get sick of the same stir fry and salad bar they have at the dining hall. So, the George Sherman Union is your best bet. If you know anything about me, you know I am a huge sushi lover. It's my favorite food. And I love going to Basho, not only because it is convenient, but because their sushi bowls are so good. My typical order is white rice, seaweed, cucumbers, avocado, spicy tuna, and unagi sauce. But on September 22, I had a bad encounter with the that order. I brought the food back to my dorm and ate it while watching "Bojack Horseman."

Everything seemed perfectly normal. The sushi didn't taste weird or have a smell to it. But an hour after consuming my meal, I was overcome by a nauseous feeling that spread throughout my body. I had to rush to the bathroom and I vomited about eight times that night. Even the act of falling asleep became difficult because I still had the feeling of puking. Critics to my argument might say it could have been something else I ate but the last time I ate was around noon and I had a turkey sandwich and a cucumber and tomato salad from the dining hall.

I'm utterly convinced my sickness was caused by the bad sushi I ate.

I understand that I went rather late in the day close to closing time, but that isn't an excuse to serve food that can make people sick. I'm curious to see if anyone else got sick because of Basho. I've always heard rumors but I never thought it would happen to me.

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.
