Spicy Ramen

 Everyone who is reading knows the trials of having long days, it starts with class in the early morning, then on to homework in the afternoon, now off to work for the evening, followed by more homework, this is the true college experience, yay. However, even on the days where my schedule is packed and I only see the walls of my apartment after the sun has gone down, I will never be caught missing a meal. Last night, I decided to doctor a fan-favorite of many college students, top ramen. A dish that takes no more than 5 minutes in the microwave but is very boring just as it comes in the pack, so I had to make it my own, introducing my spicy ramen.
