Chicken Strips Really Are The Way To My Heart

How I fell in love with my St. Thomas tour guide aka the boy who bought me chicken strips.

Chicken Strips Really Are The Way To My Heart
Google

My mom always said the way to a persons heart is through their stomach. Never in a million years did I think it would be the reason why I fell in love with somebody.

Fortunately for Jackson Roche, I am chicken strips number one fan. I could probably write a whole article on why chicken strips are important to me. If you want me to be your best friendbuy me chicken strips. If you want me to be your girlfriend buy me chicken strips. If you want me to love you forever, buy me chicken strips.

In all honesty you know you've found the love of your life, when he's binge eating chicken strips with you to Hannah Montana: The Movie on a Tuesday.

My home is wherever Jackson and the chicken strips are.

Funny thing is, he was my tour guide for the AFROTC program at the University of St. Thomas. In no way did I think I would walk away from that tour wanting to know more about some boy who looked good in AF blue.

Nor did I walk away knowing that he felt the same way about a girl who was too concussed for her own good.

Four days after our chicken strip filled day of fun, and everything purple he asked me to be his date the AFROTC Military Ball. Of course he asked an Army cadet to a Air-force Ball, but the anticipation of post dance chicken strips and a good time couldn't keep this girl away.

Unfortunately, there were no post dance chicken strips, and Jackson and I are legit the worst pair of dancers on the dance floor, but I found something even better; a best friend, a partner in life, a boy who is really bad at taking a hint 95% of the time(HOLD MY HAND PLEASE, AND THANK YOU), and a boyfriend who adores me just as much as he adores chicken strips.

My life has been nothing but great since I met him. He means more to me than chicken strips. I've found a boy who is the total package. Finding a boy who loves chicken strips as much as you is hard to find in 2016, but I'm lucky I did.

Glad we can fall in love with each other, and chicken strips everyday. I love you, Jackson Roche.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
