7 Things Vegetarians Face on a Daily Basis

1. Getting asked, "You’re a vegetarian?!?"

As they proceed to stare at you like you just told them you have an extra toe on your foot.

2. Having to tell the nice person that invited you over, and made you a steak, that you don’t eat meat.

They probably think that you are the pickiest eater in the world now.

3. Trying to find ways to make up for all the protein you’re not getting.

Eggs, quinoa, hummus, dairy products……..There are actually quite a lot of protein substitutes for meat.

4. When someone says, “you’re a vegetarian? So you like love animals right?”

Not every vegetarian is a vegetarian because of a love for animals. There are all kinds of reasons why. My personal reason, is because I get disgusted that what's on my plate was once alive. But that’s just me. Every vegetarian has their reasons.

5. Only getting fries or a McFlurry when your friends want to eat at McDonalds.

More vegetarian options please, fast food chains! A lot of places have some kind of substitute now a day’s, but its not easy to find.

6. Seeing that any burger can be substituted with a bean burger patty on a menu.

Thank you to the restaurants out there who understand that even vegetarians need a burger every once in a while.

7. "You’re a vegetarian, so you’re a vegan?"

No! Vegetarians come in all forms, but I personally don’t mind eating the bi-products of animals.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.
