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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
