If you haven't figured it out by now, I have a Chipotle problem. I have so much of a problem that reading news articles about the E. coli outbreaks makes me hungry for Chipotle. My claim to fame in the office is that I once made it to Chipotle and back in six minutes. Literally. That's what I'm known for.
Today marked the first time this semester that I returned home to 301 W. Franklin St. And, thanks to one of our bloggers, now you know: If you've ever wanted to buy as many Chipotle burritos as I have since I started working for The Daily Tar Heel, you just have to win the Powerball lottery.
That's 230,769,230 burritos.

If this semester is already making you, too, want to watch Netflix for the next 15 million years, win the Powerball lottery thing.

Among other things learned today, a year of Netflix is cheaper than a day of Disney World. Feels like a millennial proverb.
