We study food, we experiment on food, we prepare food, we eat food, we pretty much are food. We live it, love it, learn it, breathe it. We probably think and talk about food way more than the average person.
1. You're always hungry.
I mean, how can we not be, ALL we talk about in class is food. Carbs, fats, protein. *Pizza, pizza, pizza*
2. Constantly explaining the difference between a Dietitian and a Nutritionist.
Yes, there is a difference.
3. We still eat unhealthy food, guilt free.
Just because we know how bad it is, doesn't mean we won't eat it.
4. Nobody understands the word 'struggle' unless they took Orgo.
The worst days of our lives.
5. No we are not judging you based on your food decisions.
We make bad choices sometimes too. Pass me the Ben and Jerry's please.
6. As soon as we pick up a food product, we automatically go to the Nutrition Label.
It's second nature at this point.
7. Our family acts as if we're already RDs and asks us every nutrition related fact ever.
Nope, not yet guys sorry!
8. Constantly feeling like the classes we take are for Med School or something.
Hmm, maybe I'll be the next Meredith Grey instead.
9. "Oh your major is so easy!"
HAHAHAHAH ..... *sobs*
10. No one likes going to the food store with you.
Three hours and $150 worth of organic food later.
11. You will never look at the order of food in a fridge the same way ever again.
Thanks ServSafe! Please, the chicken goes on the bottom, how many times do I have to tell you?
12. FATTOM...
No Tom you're not fat. I meant Food Acidity Temperature Time Oxygen Moisture. Thanks again ServSafe!
13. Getting into heated debates at the dinner table.
It can get vicious.
14. No, drinking green juices for all three meals for a week isn't "good for you."
It probably doesn't even taste good either.
15. We can't wait to help others better themselves through their dietary choices.
In the end, all the hard work, late night studying, and time in the labs will be worth it!
We're a special group of people, mostly girls. We form a bond from the first day in Freshman seminar. We push each other to do better. We help each other make it through Chem and Bio. Whether we're going to be dietitians or one of the many other nutrition options, we're having the best time learning the ropes! I mean, who else gets to make cookies just to learn how to measure ingredients in the kitchen?
