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.

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.
