There's no place like In and Out Burger

Is there anything better than In and Out Burger? I suppose there are a few but In and Out is definitely top 5. From the super fresh fries, to the scriptures written on the inside of the cup, to the catchy secret not so secret lingo that goes along with ordering, In and Out reigns supreme in the burger world.

I must make one claim though, In and Out tastes way better in California. I don't know what it is but it just tastes better. Maybe its the anticipation of heading to In and Out after a long day at the beach or maybe its just magic but nothing tastes better than a hamburger fries and a chocolate shake after boogie boarding all day. Not to say that the one in Tucson or Phoenix is bad it's just better in California.

So sorry Mr. Wermers you can keep your veggie burger, I'll take a hamburger with grilled onions extra spread fries well done.

Fat Tuesday/My love for mac and cheese

In the catholic tradition, Ash Wednesday marks the start of the Lent season. Although I am not catholic I have decided to partake in this activity since I was about 12 years old. The activity of Lent happens during the period of time between Ash Wednesday and Easter. During this period of time you are supposed to give up something that is really important to you. Some examples are candy, soda pop, chocolate, gossiping, etc. By giving something up you are appreciating and acknowledging on a much smaller scale the suffering of Jesus. Similar to fasting, by withdrawing from an activity or food you are constantly reminded of the suffering that Jesus went through. Of course no one can empathize with Jesus but by participating in Lent it shows you acknowledging Him.

Ok so what the heck is Fat Tuesday....well it is the day before Ash Wednesday (today). There is also a tradition that on Fat Tuesday you are supposed to eat everything that would be given up during Lent. My weapon of choice, home made mac and cheese. Growing up my mom always made home made mac and cheese. It was always my favorite. Well now that I live on my own and my mama isn't around I have to step up and make it myself, so happy fat tuesday and now I will get back to chowing down and panicking about tomorrow's essay.

CAN I GET A SNOW DAY PLEASE!

Growing up in a mountainous town I know snow. I know lots of snow. I know a dusting of snow. I know powder. I know hard pack snow. I know wet snow. And I know what snow makes the best snowball, what snow is the best for snowboarding and what snow is best for skiing, and what snow is best for making snowmen. The only problem, NO SNOW(at least not in Tucson). I really miss the snow. My sisters will text me the moment they find out that they have a snow day just to make me envious. A couple weeks ago they had 4 snow days in a row! That's almost a week! My hometown of Pinetop, AZ had a wonderful 5 feet of snow and you know that means that Sunrise( the ski resort) got way more than 5 feet! I would love to go up every weekend between now and when the snow melts so that I could go skiing or snowboarding but my car is a weeny and sucks in the snow/ice. I think it might be a little hint from God that I need to stay home and study chemistry.

Btw this is my house. You might have trouble finding it in all that snow. I find it crazy that they can get all that snow but here in Tucson we are enjoying blue skies and 65 degrees?! Anyways, I suppose this is defiantly a random post. Hope you all are making it through first exams and rainy days.

What the heck is rodeo week?

Ok so after hearing about this tucson rodeo week I have to ask what the heck? Did you know schools have a whole week off during this week? After hearing the words "no school" i immediately google searched our U of A schedule only to find that we have a normal week! I just don't get it! Coming from a rural town I know rodeos and I enjoy watching that kind of activities. I wouldn't mind having a week off for Tucson Rodeo Week, I mean it only seems fair since the other schools in Tucson get this week off. I did a tiny bit of research on this event and it's actually quite historical. It started in 1925 when the prohibition act was going on but this did not stop anyone from drinking alcohol at the rodeo. 25 stills were confiscated and 3000 gallons of moonshine were destroyed. This rodeo is a big deal for Tucson, it's part of Tucson history and I think everyone should be able to celebrate it! EVEN COLLEGE KIDS!
