The greener the better
I believe that the greener the bananas you buy the better. I also exclusively like to eat green bananas so I may be biased. But buying green bananas allows them to ripen in your house. Typically when the banana is yellow with anywhere from a little green at the end or the beginning of browns spots its considered ripe.

slightly unripe bananas
i cannot stand ripe bananas. the taste is too strong, the texture is so slimy and mushy, and overall it's a gross experience for me. but slightly unripe bananas?! delicious. high in fibre and lower in sugar. the perfect texture, the perfect taste, i could eat a whole bunch. you have to pick the right ones though, they can't be too yellow and not too green, aim for a yellow-chartreuse and some brown spots are okay. pictures 4 is the sweet spot. 3 and 5 are acceptable but not ideal. if it has freckles and many brown spots β€” absolutely not πŸ™…πŸ½β€β™€οΈ

under ripe bananas
have been accused of psychopathy for this one but my ideal banana still has a faint tinge of green. texture is better and it has a nice tang to it

perfectly ripe bananas
The currently circulating banana chart doesn’t accurately portray my banana preferences. I think a perfect banana is between 9-11 on this scale. Bananas should be purchased between 5-7 and you should begin to manage banana ripening + ethylene gasses at around #7 (wrapping, separating, refrigerating). Bananas become edible around #8 and become an ingredient as opposed to a solitary food at stages 13-15. Thank you very much for your time.

PLATONIC INTIMACY
I had just taken a volleyball straight to the nose. My glasses had flown off and I was disoriented. The game paused and my team gathered around me asking if I was ok. It hurt, but less than I had thought it would. I was more concerned with making sure my glasses didn't break. While I was inspecting them, one of my teammates noticed that I had a small cut on the bridge of my nose and it was bleeding. I couldn't even tell. Because I couldn't see where the cut was, I asked one of my teammates to put the bandaid on me. It shocked me just how intimate it was to be cared for. I doubt my teammate remembers it as clearly as I do (if at all), but I think this won't be something I forget Β

I'm going to grad school!
I'm actually really excited to go back to school. I'm getting a masters in bioinformatics! The program seems super cool and includes a paid internship at the end.
