An Open Letter To South Pointe Grilled Cheese

To the food that never fails.

An Open Letter To South Pointe Grilled Cheese
Jorge Daniel Reyes, Jr.

To the golden gooey goodness, you da bomb.

Out of all of the things I have discovered in the beauty of Michigan State University's ten (eleven if you count the Union) dining halls, South Pointe grilled cheese has become the most important part of my diet.

I found you after my first week in Case Hall, running late for class and needing a quick meal to stop my stomach from groaning from the emptiness I was putting it through. Your white bread, Velveeta cheese, and burnt sides filled that void perfectly. You also filled an emotional void, Grilled Cheese.

I remember I knew when I found love. I had failed my first college quiz, fought with my best friend, and had somehow managed to lose a paper I had worked days on. All I wanted to do was cry, cry, and cry some more. My friends were all too busy with their own lives to handle my problems, so I turned to you. My heart wanted nothing more than to go home, curl up in bed, and forget about the world. The only closest thing I had was a grilled cheese which reminded me of rainy days with my mom. I walked up to the line, grabbed a grilled cheese and found a secluded spot in the caf. Drinking tea, watching some netflix, and people watching, I ate a grilled cheese and forgot about the world around me. It was just us -- cheese, bread, and me.

Your gooey center warms my heart, Grilled Cheese. You've become my go to comfort, hangover, and go-to food. Thanks for that.

Finally, thank you for reminding me that sometimes home comes in an edible form. In a time of life where things are always changing, life is moving too fast, and people come and go -- you've become the one constant.

So, South Pointe Grilled Cheese -- nobody does it like you. Not Wilson late night, not even the dairy store. South Pointe Grilled Cheese is the only cheese for 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.
