I started my first semester of LSU two and a half months ago, and have already made a plethora of friends. This includes an art major who is consistently working harder than anyone I know, a biochemistry major who is still not working as hard as the art major, and a vegan. Obviously, she has other, more distinctive, aspects of her personality.
However, I experienced my first real challenge as her friend when I brought her a pack of M&M's as a treat. She said "Katie, these aren't vegan..." and all I could think was "Wait there's meat in M&Ms?" Here, I have composed a list of 12 things everyone with a vegan friend understands:
1. Their opinion
2. Don't show off your genuine leather Calvin Klein wallet
3. Sometimes they just forget to eat food with iron
4. They make some good potatoes
5. Vegans actually know what gluten is
6. Skittles are vegan
7. Whole Foods and Trader Joe's are their utopias
8. I still don't know what quinoa is
9. Vegan Potlucks are a real thing
10. Vegan and vegetarian are definitely not the same thing
11. They literally love Chipotle
12.They go through photosynthesis six times a day
OK, this one is a joke, they don't really.
