5 Foods I Didn’t Know I Liked Until I Was 20

Have you ever encountered a food that you were too scared to try, or perhaps a food that you swore never to have again? If so, you are not alone.

1. Guacamole
Let's be honest; it's green, and it freaks me out, okay? My uncle made me try it at Barrio and ever since, it's my everyday snack (oops...I am eating it as I write this).
2. Oranges
Okay, this one is annoying because I was TOLD I didn't like oranges by my mom (she just didn't want me to eat them because they were HER favorite) but it is to the point where for my birthday my grandma buys me oranges...
3. Greek Yogurt
Texture is totally a thing for me, and I could never eat yogurt that wasn't the Danimals smoothies (I know I'm like 5 years old) but working at a smoothie shop for a few years has made me broaden my yogurt choices, and now I'm a fan of eating greek yogurt for breakfast.
4. Tomatoes
When I was really young, my great grandma had a garden, and she had me try one of her tomatoes (my first tomato ever). It was rotten inside, and I bit into it, so you probably see why I never wanted to think about them again, BUT people keep telling me to man up so if I chop them up and add them to my food I can finally eat them!
5. Onions
These just mess up my stomach but hey--they flavor to food in the best way, so I put up with it.

Eating new foods totally counts towards growing up, right?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
