27 Reasons to Eat Ice Cream

There is usually, noting a few rogue exceptions, a general consensus amongst people that ice cream is one of the best treats in the dessert game. Many people tend to only use this delectable snack to celebrate a particular occasion, or to praise a job well done, in order to avoid overindulging in the special treat. I, on the other hand, have yet to find an inappropriate time to eat ice cream. It has always been a guilty pleasure of mine, so every time the opportunity to eat ice cream presents itself to me, I lack the self-control needed to refrain from eating the creamy snack. I even go out of my way to find excuses to eat ice cream. Here are 27 reasons to eat ice cream (guilt-free).

27. You're sad.

Obviously, this one is pretty self-explanatory. Nothing like ice cold creamery to numb the pain.


26. It's finals week.

No reason to cry over all of the projects you have due. Cry over ice cream, like an adult.


25. Finals week ends.

Celebratory scoop of deliciousness? Make it two.


24. You were dumped.

Calories don't count in matters of the heart.


23. You begin a new relationship.

The calories count, but it's not like you need to impress anyone now.


22. There are sprinkles.

Or any other fantastic toppings that may be lying around.


21. You need a midnight snack.

Chocolate cravings are real.


20. The ice cream is free.

Free is always better.


19. The ice cream is homemade.

Less processing, so its healthier...I think.


18. It's warm outside.

Cool down with a nice sundae.


17. You hear the ice cream bell on the beach.

It's like a church bell. May the fudgie-wudgie man be with you.


16. The ice cream is on sale.

It may not be free, but a fair discount is incentive enough to delight in an ice cream cone.


15. During the winter.

It may sound silly, but if you eat it while bundled up in a heated room you can trick yourself into thinking it's summer.


14. There is a commercial break.

Everybody knows commercial breaks are designated snack times.


13. White shirts are boring.

A nice chocolate stain looks good on virtually anyone.


12. You need more calcium in your diet.

Health comes first.


11. You went to the gym.

You have earned a hardy helping of ice cream.


10. Scooping ice cream builds arm muscle.

Why lift when you can scoop?


9. Scooping ice cream builds character.

Trying to scoop from a tub of frozen ice cream takes some serious determination.


8. You know someone is having a bad day.

Best way to make someone smile is to feed them...with ice cream.


7. It's 5 o'clock somewhere.

Every hour I am eating ice cream is happy hour.


6. Because you only eat dinner for dessert anyway.

No, I am not eating this broccoli for pleasure.


5. When you are trying to woo someone.

Do I want to go for ice cream? SWOON.


4. Because you can't have cake without ice cream.

Well you can, but why would you do that?


3. It's raining.

Eating ice cream is an activity and we all want to feel productive on a rainy day.


2. You pass an ice cream shop.

No one wants to be the outsider looking in.


1. Because you have a spoon.

Mine as well put it to good use!


Lets be real, there is never a reason NOT to eat ice cream. Someone who tells you otherwise is not someone you need in your life.

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.
