8 Pains Of Being A Picky Eater

Food is the best thing ever. One thing that happens when you grow up is you realize how much food is really out there. Although, some people may not be able to enjoy this, because they are picky eaters. These are the worst parts about having this problem:

1. You're sandwiches are usually small

This is what happens when you got to Chipotle and don't like lettuce, tomato, onion, pico de gallo, beans, guacamole or corn in a burrito. Guess which one is mine.

2. You eat the same things all the time.

You probably have had a turkey sandwich three times this week. With cheese. On a specific type of bread.

3. You can't eat whatever you want.

When you go out, looking at menus is almost pointless. You know that pretty much wherever you go you pick from a short list of foods that you actually enjoy.

4. Healthy eating can be almost impossible.

For people that don't mind the bland taste of veggies, it's not a big deal. But when you are super sensitive with your taste buds and eating a carrot makes you want to vomit, it can be hard to eat green.

5. Eating at other people's houses can be awkward.

Do you want to suffer through the zucchini bread your friend's mom made or starve for that night? You'll probably just go out to Applebee's or something later anyway.

6. You never know what you want to eat.

This may sound ironic because there are only so many things you like, but it's not just about what type of food you like, but what food you want at a certain point in the day based on what you've had in recent meals. Yes it's that complicated.

7. Having to mentally prepare to try new food.

New food is scary. What does it taste like? If it doesn't taste like chicken fingers or fries then there's not a great chance I'll like it. Does kale taste like chicken?

8. People can't believe when you don't like popular foods.

No I don't like bananas. Or ham, carrots, ketchup, barbecue chips, peppers, and lots of other things.

Don't let foodies get you down, love what you eat and eat what you love!

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.
