If You're Dairy-Free, You Will Relate To These 11 Struggles You Face When Talking To Dairy-Lovers

I have been dairy-free for two years now due to the intolerance I developed toward lactose. Over these two years, my stomach has been content (aside from the occasional cheat milkshake), and I haven't starved to death; however, I have been faced with some tough situations. If you are also dairy-free, whether it be for health, the environment, or a personal choice, you will relate to these 11 tragic situations.

6. When you have to settle for the suspicious dairy-free cheese option

8. When everyone starts raving about the new grilled cheese at the dining hall and you simply cannot contribute to the conversation

9. When you buy lactose-free chocolate milk

Fairlife for life am I right?

10. When you get candy and have to give half of it away because of the milk chocolate

11. Realizing the health benefits you're getting from avoiding dairy

Oh, yes.

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.

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.
