Been working on three major essays and three news articles— So excuse me as I become totally random and incoherent in this post. My brain is fried and all I can think of is, weekend…my precioussss…weekend…
Anyway. Exciting news for tomorrow: My 24, 24, 24 proposal to Foodbuzz has been chosen for this month! So please be sure to tune in tomorrow…I assure you that it’s going to be a terrific experience, but I’m not going to reveal to you what it is exactly, yet…Okay, fine, one little hint: I will indeed be cooking…but not the way you’d imagine me to. 
Another piece of random information: Sometimes, when you’re feeling stressed out, the most relieving form of entertainment can be spying on the Stats Counter of your blog. Especially the keywords people typed to randomly find your blog. Here are some that cracked me right up:
Anyway. These are just a few of the crazy things people look up on when they have nothing else to do. Oh, and now this may seem rather random too, but I promise you, you’ll understand why I included this when I post my 24, 24, 24 submission tomorrow: I’ve learned that when eating school campus food, stick to the fast-food chains. I do wish my school offered better food besides fast food, though. A couple of days ago I went with a friend to dine at Galen Center, which is apparently one of the “better” dining options in USC, tailored specifically for hungry athletes. If you know the Trojans, they sure give their star athletes the special royalty treatment, so I had high hopes on the quality of food here. My friend Yoomi and I decided to order two different dishes and split it so that we can taste both dishes. Here’s what we ordered: Yuck. If this is how USC feeds its athletes, no wonder we lost the game last Saturday! (And don’t get me started on that, I thought the Trojans NEVER lost!!) So. From now on I’m just sticking to Carl’s Jr. Dear old Carl’s Jr. I never knew I would find you so endearing… And yet another Carl’s Jr burger… That one wasn’t as good, so the next time I stuck to the Teriyaki Burger again: URGH! Gotta run. Late for class! But remember to check back here tomorrow for my recap on my 24, 24, 24 event! YAHOO!! Question of the day: What’s your favorite fast food chain? Don’t say Subway, that’s cheating!
I think I can be a food snob sometimes, but my dirty secret is that I do enjoy my fast food. Who doesn’t? It’s cheap, tasty, and full of MSG and crap. Yay! 
Look, it’s even set up like a ESPN zone or something. 
Chicken salad with chipotle-ranch and avocado. Side of fresh fruit. 
BBQ chicken burger with fries. 
The chicken burger was tough, stringy, and dry. The fries were okay, but it’s hard to mess up on deep-fried potatoes. 
The chicken salad sandwich? Honestly, I don’t even remember how it tastes like anymore; it was that forgettable. Totally, completely, eye-rollingly MEH. Tasteless. Boring. Total waste of my time and energy even to chew on this thing. It’s all digested and pooped out by now though, so I’ll forget about the blah experience. 
Teriyaki Burger: Charbroiled 100% All-Beef Patty, Teriyaki Glaze, Grilled Dole® Pineapple, Two Slices of Swiss Cheese, Red Onion, Lettuce, Tomato and Mayonnaise on a Toasted Sesame Seed Bun. 
Jalapeño Burger: Charbroiled All-Beef Patty, Jalapeno Peppers, Pepperjack Cheese, Sliced Onion, Tomato, Lettuce and Santa Fe Sauce on a Toasted Sesame Seed Bun. 
Yum. I’ve been craving burgers ever since I visited Umami Burger. Who knew I was such a carnivore? *Licks chops*

arbys…their curly fries are amazing!
can’t wait for the recap! and this post makes me crave a burger, and that never happens, so props to ya!
i love burgerville here in oregon (ahh fastfood for treehuggers-how many places can you get a local, sustainable burger? portland baby, portland)
and i really like taco bell sometimes, not going to lie
Wow nice clicks everything makes tempting…
I would have to say Chipotle.
I agree about the stats. Mine keeps having all of these words written in a totally different language, I think Russian. bizarro
i love chipotle!! you can make a “healthy” meal that still tastes absolutely amaaaaazing!
sorry about the athlete dining hall at usc… i wish we had a dining hall for athletes here!! [with better food of course...]
I have a secret love for Hardee’s breakfasts!
Biscuits and gravy are amazing!
i cant wait to see your 24, 24, 24!!! i think my favorite fast food is tied between pizza hut personal pan pizzas and mcdonalds jr. hamburgers & fries. although i havent tried carl’s and i only hear the best things about it! got to love the audrina/hills/bikini commercial, right??
Oh I can’t wait to see what you have up your sleeves!
Hmmm my fave fast food? Ha I can’t pick just one =)
In and out and chick fil a for me. Chipotle is pretty high on my list too.
I love the french fries and milkshakes at Del Taco. mmmm.
Uh, too bad about the cafeteria fare. If you’re gonna eat fast food, it might as well taste good, right? BTW, those are weird, weird, WEIRD search strings.
Haha…those keyword searches are hilarious.
During my college days I stuck to a lot of fast food joints, too. Especially when I wasn’t home a lot. I do love the criss-cut fries from carl’s jr though. Don’t tell any one said that . LOL.
Although the comments on the food aren’t not very good, they still look very good. Sophie, you take too good photos! Hahahaha
Hands down Chipotle is my favorite!
Since i think saying Chipotle is cheating too, I’m going to say either In and Out (hellllooooo animal style) or Dairy Queen because there is nothing better than a Tropical Blizzard. mmmmmm.
I think my favorite fast food chain is…World Wraps or Panera? I don’t know does that count? I honestly don’t remember the last time I had fast food. Haha, I seriously do not have enough fast food, especially for a college student. Oooh, wait, I thought of one–ddukboki
Oh, and who was it that the Trojan’s lost to? Yeah, that’s right! Ok, I swear I’ll stop now
Ackk you have tons on your plate! I’m excited to see your article tomorrow!!!
Ok- your keywords are hysterical! I check mine every few days for the same reason and e-mail out the funny ones to a few friends. People google some random shit. I wonder if pooping while doing nails is some crazy new porn fetish?! I’m too scared to google to find out! Although, now I’m wondering what you’ve written that would have gotten pulled as a result!?
Those burgers look so, so delicious!! Hmm.. my favorite fast food?? Currently I really like Arby’s for their chicken salad and potato cakes. I also adoooooore Sonic! Mmm foot long coneys with tater tots! I have to be in a mood to eat fast food, though.
Congrats on the proposal being chosen! Although, I’m not really sure what that means, but I guess I’ll find out!
Those key words were hilarious. The one that said “who is the girl that slurps yogurt?” was referring to that Light’nFit commercial, where the girl picks up a yogurt and slurps it down. I press mute whenever it comes on because it’s such a gross sound!!
My favorite fast food chain is Wendy’s hands down. Nick’s favorite is In and Out Burger, so be sure to post about that one again soon! haha.
you camera is awesome! congrats on being “chosen”. I jsut came upon your blog and am excited to read more about you and more of your posts!!
Congrats on the 24,24,24 foodbuzz thingamajig. This post made me smile.
Yeah for carnivores! God gave us incisors and molars for a reason- to chew meat!
I don’t really go to fast food chains, just our local take aways and the occasional McDonalds. I do love my burgers though.
ah i love it when people take a time out to share their searches. so hilarious! sorry about the shitty food. i really am honest when i say i hate fast food. some of it DOES taste alright, but my body hates me after and i double over in pain. but i will eat the ice cream from anywhere! i love the carl’s jr shakes! cant wait to see your 242424242424!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
xioxooxoxoxo
ooh i can’t wait to see what the 24 24 24 post! how exciting!!! and i haven’t had carls jr in a while…but i love itttt…do they still have the santa fe chicken sandwich?
Aww sorry to hear USC’s lunchrooms are that great. Come to Brown! I may not like everything they have but I must admit they feed us well
Panera Bread, 100%. They always have something a vegan like me can eat, plus they usually have some yummy bread samples.
I could so go for a burger right now.
I don’t eat fast food except maybe 3-4 times a year, but when I’m out and there is no other choice, my favorite place to go is Chik-fil-a.
Ooooh, you have me all excited to see what you’re doing for 24, 24, 24!! Can’t wait!
Haha, my fast food guilty pleasure are the veggie burgers from Burger King, I love them!!! There’s also a local place in town called “William’s” that has the greasiest, most delicious fish and chips. The fish itself is some of the best you can find, but you’ll leave with the grease sweats
Yay for being chosen for the 24 24 24 thing. That’s so exciting – I can’t wait to see what you do!
My favorite fast food restaurant would have to be taco bell. I only like one thing on the menu but it’s so good!
Hahahaha those searches are hilarious!!
I have a secret love for the McGriddle… haven;t had one since HS though
haha I’ve been meaning to try and create my own version…
Can’t wait for your article!
Have a great weekend!
Sarah
WOOOO!!!! you go girl! You are ALLLL over the place! I am right there with you on the RANDOM-incoherantness…but you made it un-noticable in this post! your doing so many great things, keep up the busy-bee activities your amazing!
Now, I’m hungry for a burger! Can’t wait to see your 24 24 24 post.
:O
But… I’M a Bruin. It’s ok, I get the same disgust when I hear USC… probably from all the brainwashing during orientation. of course it’s all for fun though 
I don’t really eat fast food at all, but I am going to have to go with McDonalds just because they have the best breakfast known to man and that is my favorite meal. Chick fil a is a close second; I love me some chicken sandwiches
Actually, Subway IS my fave… but I also like pretty much any vegetarian options at Taco Bell and I like the homestyle chicken sandwich at Wendy’s, but only if I want to feel like grease afterward.
I’m really glad I don’t have to eat campus food anymore!
I’ll be on the lookout for your Foodbuzz feature–congrats!!
I am pretty much a campus food snob myself–but hey, home-cooked food is just SO much better!
Not going to lie – almost every time I have had a few too many drinks, I am all about the Wendy’s spicy chicken sammich & frostys. Damn you, alcohol!
Can’t wait for the surprise tomorrow!
I love Panera. Always something delicious there. Does that count?
i like carls jr’s natural cut fries! do they have them there?
Chick-fil-a is my favorite and they just built one right by us!
In N’ Out, animal style!
I’m sorry. HAHAHAHAHA!!!! The stats counter bit just made my day:D
I think that Burger King is better than Mac’s. LOL.
Chick-fil-a is my favorite, for sure! Love all they offer!
Sorry your food was just meh
Hate it when that happens! Excited to learn more about the surprise! 
<3 jess
xoxo
Aiyo..msia fast food ahhh??
Bad bad bad..
Ahh…does those road side stalls of “fried banana balls, fritters, sticky goey slabs of “nien ko” with tapioca and sweet potato count?? HEhee..
Or roti canai?? Mamak cuisine not fast food mehh? ;p
I’m so excited to see what you do for 24, 24, 24…I know whatever it is, it will be fabulous! My fav fast food joint is Panera…they hooked me with their amazing bread!
Haha, I always like looking at the search terms that lead to my blog too. Endless entertainment, I tell you.
Those sammies look SO GOOD.
Ah I’m sorry your cafeteria eats are less than stellar, but your recaps of them were hilarious! If that’s any consolation lol. They make for good writing material
Let’s see.. I love KFC’s potato wedges, Wendy’s chocolate Frosty’s with crushed up Butterfingers and their fries!!!, which brings me to Dairy Queen blizzards, oh and the baja chalupa with black beans from Taco Bell. OH! There’s this fast food place down in FL called Pollo Tropical and I LOVEEEE their yuca fries
