21 Struggles Every Vegetarian Identifies With

1. "Oh, you're vegetarian? You must eat so healthy!"

"Yeah, I really do."

2. "How do you get your protein?"

If I was given a dollar every time I heard that... you get the point.

3. "Meat is so good!"

So is alcohol, and that's vegetarian. Thanks for your opinion, Janet. Next.

4. You have convinced yourself that this is 100 percent an acceptable vegetarian meal.

So what if your 11-year-old cousin eats the same thing?

5. No, you do not eat chicken. That's still meat.

Sorry, grandma.

6. Yes, eggs are vegetarian.

"But it's basically chicken." No, it's not.

7. If you hear one more person talk about how much they love bacon...

Sorry, I'm going to have to skip the annual bacon festival.

8. When you're out of beans, veggie burgers, tofu, and other vegetarian specialties...

...Guess I'm eating pasta with red sauce for the fourth time this week.

9. Snacking on almonds to make up for your lack of protein but to also make you at least LOOK like you're healthy.

10 points if you're brave enough to get the unflavored kind.

10. Being dragged to a restaurant where a side salad is the only vegetarian option.

I love America.

11. When you discovered that McDonald's french fries aren't vegetarian and watched 99 percent of your late-night fast food escapades crumble away.

...I can still get McFlurries, right?

12. You're the first person everyone asks about kale.

AW KALE NAW.

13. You buy ramen and throw away the flavor packet.

It's vegetarian AND you're the epitome of health!

14. Pizza? Pizza.

♫♪ "It's a love story, baby just say 'yes'." ♪

15. ...Now you're probably concerned about your weekly cheese pizza consumption.

Just kidding, pass me another slice.

16. Leaving your heavy meat-eating family, friends, etc. stumped when you come over for dinner.

"It's okay, I'll just eat the mashed potatoes."

17. Actually, you eat nothing but sides on Thanksgiving, and everyone gets annoyed when there are none left.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

18. You have way too many friends who have said, "Oh, I was only vegetarian for like, three days."

Why are all my friends so weak?

19. You've become the subject of many jokes.

...Vegans definitely have it worse, though.

20. "So, do you only eat like, rabbit food?"

You got me again, Janet.

21. Despite your flawed vegetarianism, you're still not eating meat.

Keep eating that tofu, pal.

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.
