Eggs are The Best Food, Fight Me

The egg came first in my opinion. Just saying.

If I had to choose only one food to eat for the rest of my life, it would be eggs. I love eggs. Like I really love eggs. Here are five reasons why.

1. There are endless ways to cook eggs

Giphy

How do you want your eggs cooked? Poached, scrambled, over easy, over hard, sunny side up, hard boiled, omelette style? The never-ending list of how to make eggs makes this food the best. You never get bored with eggs. They are unique every time you make them! You can also add meats, cheeses, and vegetables to add more variety.

2. Eggs are CHEAP

A dozen eggs are about $3.00 where I live. This is a super cheap meal. If you eat two eggs as a meal, that meal costs about 50 cents, which nowadays is a steal for such a nutritious and satisfying meal. Tell me you can find a better option than this – not vegetables, they do not have high protein values.

3. There was a pop-up in New York City for eggs

Egg House was a pop-up in New York City in 2018. This pop-up featured different scenes perfect for a photograph! Not many foods get pop-ups and eggs got one in the best city in the world! Although it has closed now, it featured scenes such as the foyer, the kitchen, the garden, the pool, and the secret room. Here is a link to the pop-up.

4. Eggs are NUTRITIOUS

Eggs are one of the most nutritious foods on the planet. They contain vitamins, minerals, proteins, and good fats while improving your cholesterol profile. They also contain choline which is a very important nutrient for the brain. Choline is required to synthesize the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. It is also an important component of cell membranes. Eggs also contain 21 amino acids which are important to help build protein in the body. 9 of the amino acids found in eggs cannot be produced by the human body and are very important.

5. Eggs are a HUGE component to almost every recipe

Giphy

This about that chocolate cake you love. Yea, eggs are necessary to make that cake. Without eggs, most baking would not be able to occur. Your favorite dessert would not exist. What a sad world it would be without eggs.

Eggs are the best food and do not always receive the respect they deserve. I appreciate eggs and you should too. They are eggcellent!

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.
