Food shopping when trying to be become vegetarian can be overwhelming. I remember my first food shopping trip I got a ton of things I really didn't need. Thats why my trial and error is great for anyone starting off. This list is some of my favorite staples I have used. I hope this makes your journey into living plant based easier for you.

Morning star maple sausage patties

A great alternative you can use for breakfast or you can even chop it up and put it in your gravy for pasta.

Gardein quinoa breaded nuggets

I loved chicken nuggets as a kid. I have gone through many nugget alternatives so I was so happy when I finally found one I liked. I have friends who eat regular nuggets and couldn't tell the difference.

Tofu

Tofu is a staple in my diet. I pair it with everything and you can sauté it however you want. It is so versatile. Pair it with some stir fry trust me its delicious.

Beyond meat burgers

These burgers are delicious. They are my staple during the summer. My family will sometimes choose these burgers over regular ones, thats how good they are.

Tofurkey deli slices

Going vegetarian doesn't mean meals cant be quick. Tofurkey deli slices are a great alternative to ham and for quick lunch sandwiches. it contains a lot of protein and still taste good.

Morning star corn dogs

I live a pretty much plant based life. But finding alternatives to childhood favorite foods is my favorite thing. Corn dogs bring me back to fairs and amusement parks. They have regular ones and mini corn dogs. How cute is that. If you are looking for a treat these are great.

There are so many great alternatives I haven't listed. My favorite brands are Morning Star, Gardein, Quorn, Boca, and Beyond Meat. I would try it out regardless if your vegetarian or not. This could be a great start to meatless Mondays.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
