Let's face it, food is bae. Half the time we're probably more invested in what's on our plate than who is sitting at the table. Hats off to my lovely roommate, Marissa, who has shared more burritos, pizza and cookies with me than most, helping me to craft this list. Food lovers, this is one goes out to you.

1. Food celebrates your accomplishments.

Aced that exam? Got a new job? Scored the winning goal in your soccer game? Time to celebrate! Nothing calls for celebration like a good ole plate of wings, some mozzarella sticks, or a heaping plate of cheese fries. Friends aren't around to bask in your glory? Who cares--food is. Cheers to you!

2. Food won't judge you for sitting around and watching Netflix all day.

Your friends are begging you to come hang out with them, but all you need in this life of sin is that bowl of popcorn, your bed, and a day of "One Tree Hill." So maybe your friends are pissed, but that buttery bowl of goodness is all you really need.

3. Food is there for you when you've hit your lows.

Breakups, bad grades, hungover, or a crappy day all around? It happens, but what sounds more comforting than spooning some chocolate icing from a jar, or a warm brownie sundae to help wipe those tears away? The warmth of your dessert will trump all comfort or advice you will hear that day. Embrace your food coma.

4. Food won't steal your man.

Yeah, that chick may have eyes on your man, but that Chipotle burrito on your plate knows its boundaries.

5. Food is nocturnal.

Your friends go to bed early, but your fully stocked pantry is still calling you at 2 a.m.. There is nothing worse than being a night owl and not having anyone to share it with. No worries, those Tostitos and salsa are calling you for a fiesta -- party it up.

6. Food won't turn its back on you; it loves you unconditionally.

The most faithful friendships are held between those who want the best for one another. That mac and cheese wants you to be satisfied with its cheesy goodness, so don't argue. Eat, Papa, eat.

7. People, simply, are not Nutella.

Sorry, I can't scoop my friends out of a jar with pretzels and know that I will be instantly happy. That's life, right?

8. Food doesn't want you to go to the gym, either.

Pushups, cardio, and burpees sound like death to me. Don't put me down for cardio. Get your heart rate up by seeing how fast you can eat the burger and fries on your plate. You walked up a flight of stairs today; you deserve a break (and a snack).

9. Food supports your decision to eat that third brownie.

You've had two, and you should really throw in your towel, but that last brownie is staring you right in the face. It's lonely, it needs a home, and what more perfect place than your tummy? Your family may judge, but food ain't saying a thing. Go for it.

10. It loves you just the way you are.

Tall, short, big, small, athlete, hipster, bookworm, middle child, etc., food loves you no matter who you are or where you came from; so, sit down and eat up.
