You Are What You Eat… [But I Eat Chicken.]

Jonelle A — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 00:29:30 +0000

Maybe you crave extra cheese. Perhaps you can’t live without shredded barbacoa. Whatever the case, Chipotle could easily be considered a corner staple of the average UMD student’s diet. As I enjoy my delectable burrito bowl, garnished with heaps of chicken, rice, corn, mild salsa, e maize, I can’t help but wonder if Chipotle isn’t just satisfying my hunger, but also teaching me a valued lesson about my own personality and relationships. You know, that Freudian stuff that you might learn in PSYC100, without the heavy textbook and possibly monotone professor. Bizarre to the mind at first, but if you really think about it, you could subconsciously learn a thing or two about yourself in between every bite.

Let us begin.

What Your Food Choices Say About You

Beans vs. No Beans	Hmmm… Bean consumption definitely elicits a lot of risk-taking. You know the consequences, but you value temporary taste-bud euphoria over possible bowel discomfort in the future. Eating no beans shows your need for normalcy.
Pork & Chicken vs. Beef & Steak	And no, this isn’t just women vs. men. This author knows plenty of women who can handle a whole steak, and plenty of men who love lean chicken! This category is really dependent upon how often you get the same thing. Switching up your meat selection shows your versatility and willingness to explore new things.
Mild vs. Medium vs. Hot Salsa	There are obvious connotations with this category. The hotter the salsa, the spicier the persona. The fact that there is salsa at all in this concoction speaks volumes about your tolerance of un-easy situations… or people.
Corn vs. No Corn	Corny vs. Not corny.[Being corny ain’t so bad sometimes.]
Cheese vs. No Cheese	Cheesy vs. Not cheesy. [Cheesiness makes our world go 'round. It makes us all smile in its effort to be cool.]
Guacamole	Since this author is biased… no guac! [Just kidding, the avocado has many positive effects on the body]. If you enjoy this slightly unattractive, green paste, it says you look beyond just the exteriors of others, and you really go for what’s inside.
Romaine Lettuce	Lettuce tends to be a filler of sorts. It does add a nice, healthy crunch, but for the most part it just takes up space from other ingredients that might not be so healthy for you. All in all, if you like lettuce in your meal, you probably also enjoy having a lot of free & frivolous time during your day – which can be very good for you, since it helps to prevent you from becoming overwhelmed with other, heavier stuff.
For Here vs. To Go	What are you running from? Who are you running to? There’s nothing wrong with living life on-the-move — just be careful about taking your food To-Go too often, lest it get cold and unappealing… Those who take a moment to savor the meal might be just as busy as the To-Go’s, but somehow they find time for peace. And for all you who fall in neither category of too-busy or too-nonchalant… you might order your meal To-Go, but end up staying for a few minutes anyway, just to add a little variety to your day.
Burrito Bowl vs. Burrito vs. Tacos	Perhaps you prefer the solidity and order of a burrito, methodically wrapped for maximum control? Be careful of always wanting to live an airtight-mess-free life, for there WILL be an occasional spillage of mishaps [just be prepared with fork and spoon handy]. Or, maybe you just want the vast expanse of a bowl so as not to be overwhelmed by too much punch in one bite? Just be careful of always wanting to be in control – with the bowl comes no bread, so at times you might feel that something is lacking. This author’s opinion for best solution: Burrito Bowl con Tortilla.

So there you have it… a brief synopsis of about half the Chipotle menu and what it could mean to you. Perhaps we can delve more deeply into the remainder of the menu when I have more of an appetite again…

Viagra and Birth Control Pills

Roshan S — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 18:31:51 +0000

I never thought I might actually get kicked out of a discussion class on the first day of school…or the second. But in Women’s Studies, it seems like that might happen eventually.

The class has many females, considering it is all about women. There are about 5 guys in the class, and rarely do we all have the chance to speak up and share our thoughts. Our discussion time ends up ultimately in heated arguments and debates of gender issues.

Our latest topic was why pharmaceutical companies insure viagra but not birth control pills. There were many reasons brought to the table including discrimination, economic reasons, and even the usage of the two. At the very end of class, one of my guy friends responded to a question and he got attacked! Every girl in the class just turned around and stared at him and started arguing about how he was wrong. You could see the fire in their eyes that I started slouching back in my chair a bit, just so that the flames wouldn’t pierce me. Man I have never had a class like that before, but I know I’m going to thoroughly enjoy it. For anyone whose curious, it’s Women’s Studies 200 and the class is very interesting. Now that the snow is finally clearing up and school will most likely resume this week, my next worry can only be that I make sure I don’t say anything outrageous in that class or else I’ll get the boot. That’s all for now guys. Join our fanpage on Facebook, support our website, purchase our tees, but most importantly, keep coming back to my blogs. The stories will only get better from here.

Keep on rockin,

Roshan

Must-Have Items for School : Snowboard and Sleds!

Quy N — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 04:18:03 +0000

With the weather patterns that we are having recently, students should add snowboards and sleds to the list of things to buy for college. Thanks to a snowfall totaling up more than 20 inches, school is closed and everyone is free to play. Enjoy your day in the snow but don’t be trick by these snowflakes! They seem fluffy and fun, but prove to be a dangerous slippery mess. Walking on my way to north campus I carefully planned out my steps trying not to fall. Sadly, in the end I fell victim to the evil slippery ice near the stadium and had a nice little slide down the hill. I’ll leave everyone with a quote, “I went to Target just to buy a sled but there weren’t any” -Aaron Wong

Hottest Producer in College Park

Ngozi — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 04:40:56 +0000

Good producers and hot beats are hard to come by these days. You wouldn’t need to go out West to find one however. In fact, you don’t need to leave College Park at all. UMD’s own Tobi Smith a.k.a. DJ Task of T.A.S.K. Productions is undoubtedly one of the most talented producers right now. The guy is good, and as in good, I mean fire! Tobi developed his own production style from the foundation set by producers like Just Blaze, Kanye West, and the Alchemist as well as the producers of the golden era of hip hop who greatly influenced him. With that style he established T.A.S.K. Productions, his label and production company.

Tobi hosts his own radio show, called “FlyBoyRadio”, on UMD’s own WMUCRadio 88.1FM. The show comes on every Sunday from 3-6pm on 88.1FM College Park and worldwide on WMUCradio.com. Check it out while your doing homework or at diner.

And check out his beats to see what all the buzz is about.
