Eating These 8 Fattening Foods Are Actually Good For Your Health

You read that title right. There's good fats and bad fats, just like good bacteria and bad bacteria. When people hear "fat," they instantly blacklist it and strive to eat nothing but salads and diet food. However, not all fats are bad and some of them are necessary to function. Why do you think a lot of people try doing the keto diet? Well, that was a little bit too general but you know where I am trying to go. Here are some of the healthy fats you can try adding to your grocery list:

1. Avocados

Avocados are loaded with about 77% of fat. These fats are more prevalent than any other food. They also contain roughly 40% of potassium, which is a lot more than the average banana. It also contains a lot of healthy oils. Now you see why people put this in their hair and eat, sleep, and breathe avocado. They are also pretty beneficial in cardiovascular health. The next time you're at Chipotle, ask for extra guacamole.

2. All Nuts

Nuts are full of fiber, protein, magnesium and are overall good for your heart. Try to stay away from overly-salted nuts and go for plain ones.

3. Dark Chocolate

As bitter as it sounds, dark chocolate has roughly 65% of fat. It also contains fiber and antioxidants, even more prevalent than blueberries. For those who didn't know, dark chocolate is healthier than milk chocolate.

4. Whole Eggs

Despite the amount of cholesterol in 1 egg, whole eggs are loaded with vitamins and minerals necessary for health. Also, I heard that a good amount of cholesterol is needed for health. Just don't overdo it.

5. Cheese

Cheese has a good amount of vitamins and protein as well as calcium, which is the same amount in milk. Cheese also helps with type 2 diabetes. If you're lactose intolerant, I'd skip this one out.

6. Fatty Fish

Fish such as salmon contains Omega-3 fatty acids. People who eat fish tend to be much healthier, with a lower risk of heart disease, depression, dementia and all sorts of common diseases

7. Coconut Oil (or just a Coconut)

Coconuts can reduce appetite, increase fat burning, get rid of headaches, and overall provide many health benefits.

8. Yogurt

Yogurt consists of healthy, probiotic bacteria, that can have powerful effects on your health. Studies also show that yogurt can lead to major improvements in digestive health, and may even help fight heart disease and obesity.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
