11 Struggles Of A Picky Eater
Kassidy Benthal

Being a picky eater isn't as bad as everyone thinks it is. You don't have to share your food, and you always know what you want to eat at your favorite restaurants because you always get the same thing. On the other hand, it's a major dilemma when you have to bring your own food to your friend's house, or when everyone is constantly pressuring you to try new and disgusting foods. Either way, you're a picky eater and no amount of new foods or restaurants can change that, even if you're ostracized for your childlike eating habits.

1. You have to look up a restaurant's menu beforehand

You have to have a game plan when going out to eat. This includes searching the menu in advance for something halfway appealing. Anyone that's a picky eater knows the struggle of trying to get away with ordering off of the kid's menu because you can't find anything else you like.

2. Bringing your own food to your friends houses

Anytime you go to hang out at a friends place for an extended period of time you have to bring your own snacks. It's not their fault you can just never find anything you like.

3. All your food is so plain but so good

You can order your sandwich at subway in less than 10 words (bread, cheese, meat, done!)

4. Ordering at restaurants is complicated

If you actually find something you like you usually have a list of different things you have to ask the waiter to take off of your meal. And if your order ends up containing one of the dreaded foods that you hate, your meal is probably ruined.

5. You are constantly made fun of for your strange eating habits

6. Wanting to throw up when your food or someone else's food is touching

Nothing is more repulsive than multiple types of food, on the same plate, all touching and running together. Certain foods are just not meant to be together.

7. Your friends and family are constantly asking you to try new things, even when they know you won't like it.


8. When the same friends and family trick you into eating a certain food when they know there is something in it that you don't like

9. When you're asked the dreaded question, "So what foods do you not like?"

The list is immensely long, you might as well just say you don't like any food and you never eat because that's what other people think about you.

10. Sharing food is out of the question


You think the food everyone else eats is disgusting, and they think the same about your food, so sharing is never an option.

11. You may or may not throw a fit when you're starving and everyone agrees on a a restaurant you just know you're going to hate.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
