Forbidden Places That We Go To Anyways

The candy aisle we all secretly love.

I think we’ve all experienced this ashamed feeling as we ever so slowly walk away from the produce section and into the candy section of a grocery store. The scenery changes from many healthy people placing green things into bags, to an empty aisle that could have a tumbleweed pass through any minute. We leave our shopping cart behind for fear that someone will hear its shrill screeching from the rusted wheels, and we quickly dash through the aisle, careful not to linger too long in any one particular area or else the other customers, or worse, people you know, see you staring at carefully arranged rows of inviting chocolate bars. Yet despite our plan to not spend a long time in this forbidden zone, the vast amount of choices are so daunting, that they need careful consideration. So we grab a few things that we like, stroll back to our cart, and wander away to a less crowded area where we can analyze our findings while partially peering over our shoulder just to make sure no one saw us leaving that deserted aisle.

Today, thousands if not millions of us have this problem. We are all ashamed to admit that we’re human! We don’t always want what's good for us, sometimes we want the bad things (like Trump). We want those late night movie snacks that melt in our mouths, not those strange looking green monsters they call kale chips. After eating celery for so long because everyone thought it helps you lose weight (it doesn’t!), the time has come to have some chocolate from that forbidden aisle. Because while incorrect facts such as “celery helps you lose weight” propagate, everyone seems to forget the truth that chocolate does make people happy. That is hard science everyone and if you don’t believe me, well then, ask the know-it-all Google and he’ll tell ya. So put down that green drink filled with three vegetables you know, one you don’t, and antioxidants that you think are good but actually don't know what the hell they are, and instead pick up a chocolate bar.

Be happy folks!

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
