Death by Ramen

Before I get into what I really am here to talk about let me just say how much I love ramen. For me I could care less how processed and unhealthy it is because it is a necessity. I don't know how it is made or what is in it and nor do I really want to know but it's pretty great in general. If you are hungry, eat some ramen. If you are sad, eat some ramen. If you are sick, eat some ramen. There is never a time to not eat it. Ramen is comforting and needs to be present in my life, at all times.

On another note let's get down to business. Every single person I know is attached to their phone and probably wouldn't go anywhere without it, unless your swimming of course. I am even guilty of constantly being on my phone or at least having it with me. Knowing me everything is on my phone, pictures, numbers, music, and apps. I had access to all of these thing until my phone was murdered.

It was just a normal day after school and I was with my friend eating ramen and just chilling. The next thing I know my phone is slapped out of my hand and lands into a full bowl of hot ramen. I was a little surprised and it took me a minute to realize what had happened but it was too late. My phone had already gone through hell and was cracked and pieces of glass were missing and landing in the broth was the last straw. It was pretty upsetting put me in not the best mood. Yes, I laughed pretty hard but at the same time I wanted to cry. It may seem a little extreme and all but if you were in the same position as me I bet you would feel the same way.

BOOM!! Everything is gone and I need start spending less money and food and start saving for a new phone. Scratch that I should probably spend no money because a new phone is expensive (thanks Apple). Thank god I was smart enough to keep my old phone, but it still isn't great. My old phone is also broken so I can only text. Awesome.

Anyways at the end of the day social media is the way of communication. Nothing will change that, at least for now. After thinking about it and looking at the bigger picture I am somewhat thankful that I don't have apps keeping my constantly attached to my phone. Actually talking to people and having to go out of your way in order to hang out with them is pretty cool.

MHM FAST FOOD

There are a variety of different cuisines available to us, Mexican, Japanese, Chinese, Thai and a lot of others. Knowing a girl like me I love all of them. Scratch that, I love food in general. However, I would specifically like to talk about fast food. Everyone has their weakness and occasional cravings for the unhealthy yumminess. I have learned though that the place to get food is different for every person and there are factors as to why we choose the place we do. For some it is because of where you are from or what you grew up with, for other it is purely based on what you like and what you think tastes the best. There are just so many options to choose from when going out. Wendy's, Taco Bell, Arby's, and Five Guys are just a few examples. On that note I will share my top three favorite fast food restaurants.

1. Wendy's
Okay, almost everyday either in class or at lacrosse practice the number six crossed my mind. For those of you who have never been a number six is a spicy chicken sandwich with fries and a drink. Looking back now it is probably not the best choice to eat it but I look forward to road trips and the days I just don't care. I'll just say it now the sandwich is my guilty pleasure, it's the best.

2. Chick-Fil-A
Ugh, this place is also a good time. For some people it isn' their favorite because it is more of an east coast thing (even though they are everywhere). Fried chicken, sweet tea, pickles and waffle fries are all necessities. After a hard fast paced lacrosse game Chick-Fil-A is where it is at. If I am ever not feeling it or not wanting to push myself I have to see the bright side, some nice fried chicken and sweet tea.

3. In and Out
For those of us who live in the great state of Utah are lucky enough to experience In and Out Burger. In Park City there is not o
ne in sight but if you are brave enough to venture down to Farmington or a nice day in Herriman sure enough there is at least one every two blocks. Honestly I am grateful because then I can look forward to the trip. A double cheese burger, fries and a shake is my order.

On that note, yes I love fast food and have been to plenty of places, there is also a list of places I haven't been. Being in a family I am told what not to eat and Taco Bell is on the list. You are probably wondering why it is a no. Well, being 100% honest I have no clue why I am not aloud to go and it sort of bothers me because tacos are my favorite food. I guess I'll just have to be a rule breaker and try it. Anyways, I love food which is obvious and I  have said it before but I thought it might be nice to share my favorite places.

SUMMER

Yes, Summer is the highlight of every year that I have been alive. Even when I was little and nieve Summer was the most fun time for me. Also I am pretty sure that if you ask around more than 90% of kids will say that they live for Summer, I mean unless you are a skier and only like snow. Not only do I like Summer because I am stuck in Park City where it is cold most of the year but I strive for the heat. Not only do I like the heat but there is a never ending list if reasons why Summer is my favorite. I have tried to narrow it down to some of the best reasons along with a memory for each reason. I mean Summer is the time to make memories.

1. Late Nights

For me the best part about Summer is staying up until your eyes can't stay open. I don't know what it is about the night but I love it. If you are weird like me then you are a giant ball of energy during the night. It could be a train wreck but I keep my S%*@ together. One fairly recent memory of a late summer night was when I went out to dinner, desert, then slept over at a friends. We went to dinner at my parents restaurant and stayed two hours after dinner was finished then walked in the dark to get frozen yogurt. After walking back to Blind Dog four of us pied into the two back seats of dad's jeep and headed back to the house. From there we stayed up, listening to music and laughing then I went to my friends and we slept in hammocks tied in the tree is her backyard.

2. Sleeping In 

Sleeping in the next morning is usually followed by the late night you had before. Yeah, yeah being up early makes you feel good and all but Ive got to be honest I don't care. Getting up at one, eating lunch, and then going back to having fun is the way to go. I mean if you have things to do and want to accomplish something then be my guest and get up early. One memory that I am going to share isn't a memory because it happened once and was special, but because it happened more than once. During the summer I would sleep in until noon, eat some breakfast then head out on the boat come back home and stay up late with my friends. Most of the time though I don't even need to stay up late in order to sleep in.

3. Midst of the heat

Some may think the heat isn't enjoyable because you sweat, get hot, and think your going to die. Me on the other hand, I strive for the heat. I have only had one bad experience with the summer heat and lucky enough I'll tell you. It was two years ago, in the middle of July and I was in Virginia looking at the boarding school. It was 110 degree and there were no clouds in sight and I was standing like an idiot, sweating like a pig trying to pay attention. I thought for a minute that I may actually die from over heating but I survived. 

4. Bonfires

Part of the Summer experience is having or going to a bonfire. The four months of freedom we have wouldn't be complete if not going to one. One of the best times I have ever had was around a bonfire. Wether you are sitting around one underneath the stars camping or sitting in your backyard with your neighbors, the fire creates memories. Over the Summer while I was camping with family friends in the Uintas we made a huge fire and sat around it and ate hotdogs and looked at the stars. Nights like that are the best nights to have.

5. The food..

YASSSS.... Food is what my life revolves around. If I made a list of the foods that I like to enjoy during the summer it would stretch across the state of California. From drinks to desert I like it all. Watermelon, popsicles, and BLTs are all great in the heat but my heart is taken when it comes to Italian subs and soft serve ice cream. When I go back east to visit my family I grab an Italian sub head to the
beach and when I can't take the heat anymore I get a soft serve and go back to the house. It's pretty great and the life to live.

Anyways, I am pretty much just day dreaming about Summer already and we are only half way through the school year. Whoop whoop yay school!

Cheetos & Muddy Buddies

Junk food, that is just a funny way of saying boyfriend. Everywhere I look or go, unhealthy food is surrounding me. There is only one solution to getting rid of it and that would be eating it. Personally I have had some pretty disgusting encounters with food, one being black licorice. (it's freaking nasty, don't try it... ever) There are so many better options than black licorice, I promise. Plus if you are going to eat some junk food there is no point in not going all out. Over the many years of my childhood I have gone through many phases of different candy and unhealthy foods like donuts and Pringles. Lately Cheetos and Muddy Buddies have taken up my life and I am obsessed.

There are so many different kinds of Cheetos in this world, actually I think there are only three. Anyways there is probably one thousand different kinds of chips to choose from. The chip aisle is literally giant. Luckily I aways know what my heart desires and my giant bag of original Cheetos is waiting for me, my knight in shining armor. It has become a horrible addiction to always crave Cheetos. Scarfing down the whole bag takes skill and it is something that I have accomplished. After you achieve eating the whole bag by
yourself the best part is the cheese that has stuck to your fingers that you get to enjoy after. Not the crunch or taste makes me love them as much as I do but the leftover cheese on my fingers is the most enjoyable thing.

Muddy Buddies, the one small bag of sugar, carbs and calories is what I live for. The creation that Chex Mix has made is amazing and they deserve credit for this creation. The way that they coat the peanut butter over the pieces of cereal and top it off with powdered sugar is to die for. Yes, I understand that I am talking about a bag of junk food but this is how I feel. Not only am I just talking about Muddy Buddies in general but one specific kind, but the peanut butter. Don't get me wrong all Muddy Buddies are yummy but the peanut butter is delicious. Like I mentioned before that Cheetos are my knight in shining armor, well Muddy Buddies are like the prince that I have to marry because I'm addicted.

In conclusion I hope that you don't think that I am a total psycho because of my love for unhealthy food. I hope that is some ways that I have convinced you to go try some Cheetos and Muddy Buddies. I also hope that I at least made you hungry or you mouth water just a tad. Everyone has there weaknesses and mine just happens to be Cheetos and Muddy Buddies. I hope that some of you reading can relate.
