Everyone has a comfort food they run to in sickness, sadness, and even happiness. With finals week approaching, pizzerias in college towns across the country are about to make serious bank. In pizza I have found a forever friend, a safe place where my stress and summer body are far, far away. Here are 10 trying times when pizza can turn your bad day into a blessed one.
1. When you fail your test
There's nothing like walking out of test knowing you guessed on 75 percent of it. So what if you might get put on academic probation and have to move home to live with your parents for the rest of your life? You can tweet the pizza emoji, and your favorite cheesy delight is instantly being made.
2. When you get broken up with
Let's just be really honest here, getting dumped is a great reason to eat a whole pizza by yourself. No one will judge you for it while your drowning in you sorrows. Just be sure to hit the gym next week so you get back at your ex by getting hotter.
3. When your cat doesn't actually love you
This should not come as a surprise, but I'll let you down easy in case it does. Your cat is plotting to kill you and take over the world. Eat a slice or two while you wait for the inevitable.
4. When trying to be social is the last thing you want to deal with right now
We've all been there. After listening to your professors drone on and on all day, who really wants to go to a crowded restaurant and risk seeing someone that annoys you? Not me, not never.
5. When you suck at cooking
It's OK to be awful at something. It's unfortunate when being awful at something can lead to starvation. Thank goodness for take and bake and learning how to properly use an oven one step at a time.
6. When no one has been nice to you all day
For a small fee, a nice person with a hot pizza will show up at your doorstep! Doesn't get much nicer than that.
7. When you've only eaten salad and grilled chicken for the last week
Eating healthy has its perks like more energy, weight loss, and higher metabolism, but it can get really old, really fast. Next time you find yourself craving a slice go ahead and do yo thang; Jesus still loves you and you can always get right back on your diet.
8. When you're Netflixing without a snack
I hope this never happens to you, I hope you always have snacks on hand while you watch a season every night. In case you ever get caught off guard, have no fear. Fifteen seconds is plenty of time to order a pizza before the next episode starts.
9. When it's finals week and you've spent 72 hours in the library
"Yes, can you deliver to the fourth floor of the university library? I'll tip extra." If Ellen can get them to deliver to the Oscars, you should be able to get them to delver to the library.
10. When its time to celebrate
Pizza can be positive too! Nothing says, "Congrats on surviving another year of college!" like a couple of empty pizza boxes and a couple of good friends.
Overall pizza can successfully turn anyone's day around or just make it 10 times better. Next time you feel any sort of emotion, feel free to join me and grab a slice.
