Sushi Review

 Sushi


I decided to do a little sushi taste test and picked up sushi from Harris Teeter and Publix to see which one was better.

First, I went to Harris Teeter.

Their sushi section looked pretty good, and there were a lot of choices. I grabbed a California Roll. It came with soy sauce, wasabi, and ginger, which was nice.

When I opened it, it smelled fine not fishy or anything weird. But when I ate it, the rice was kind of dry and the crab didn’t really have much flavor. The seaweed was kind of tough too, and the roll kept falling apart when I picked it up. It wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t great either. Just kind of plain.

Then I went to Publix.

Right away, I noticed they had someone actually making the sushi fresh behind the counter, which was cool. I picked up a Spicy Tuna Roll this time. As soon as I opened it, I could tell it was fresher. The rice was way softer and had good flavor a little sweet and a little sour, like real sushi rice should be. The tuna tasted fresh too, and the spicy sauce had just the right amount of heat. The roll stayed together when I picked it up, and everything, even the ginger, tasted better.

Publix sushi was way better. It just tasted fresher and had way more flavor. Harris Teeter’s sushi was fine if you’re super hungry and just want something quick, but if you actually want good sushi without going to a restaurant, Publix is the move.

Publix wins for me. Next time I’m craving sushi, I’m definitely going back there.

My Secret Mentor

Erin Andrews - Fox Sports Press Pass
Erin Andrews 

Choosing a career path while at High Point University has been both exciting and challenging. I’ve always loved sports and writing, but finding a way to combine those took time.

Then, I discovered Erin Andrews.

She is a strong, accomplished woman who excels in sports reporting and does it with confidence and grace. 

From that moment on, she became my secret mentor.

Sports have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up watching games with my family, playing sports myself, and being surrounded by a love for the game. Sports aren't just something I enjoy, they are a part of who I am.

Erin Andrews has inspired me to pursue sports journalism, and she continues to be a role model for aspiring reporters. 

 She has worked with major networks like ESPN and FOX Sports, covering big events such as the Super Bowl and the World Series. Her knowledge of sports and her engaging style make her stand out in the industry, and I want to one day have these skills. 

As a woman entering sports journalism, I used to worry about the idea that only men talk about and love sports.

 But Erin Andrews has proven that wrong. With her knowledge and confidence, she has shown that women belong in sports journalism just as much as men. Her success gives me the courage to follow my own dreams.

Another reason she is a great role model is her professionalism. She stays calm under pressure, asks smart questions, and always speaks with confidence. Whether she is interviewing top athletes or hosting a talk show, she carries herself with grace and skill.

Erin Andrews Reporting
I hope one day I have her confidence in front of a camera and to have her professionalism in the sports industry. She always knows what she is talking about, and I strive to be like that. 

Everyone looks up to her and depends on her because she is just that good. 

Thank you, Erin Andrews, for helping me figure out what I want to do with my life.
