The Keto Diet has shown positive results time and time again. It is a tough lifestyle to live by, but if you can get through it the results are worth it.

Low carb diets generally tell you to stay away from fruits, but sometimes that is just not possible for people. Fruits are a huge part of my daily diet, but they are high in sugars and carbs. I did some research because I have been trying to lower my carb intake, but I have not committed to the Ketogenic Diet. Here are some fruits you should add to your diet if you're looking to limit carbs, as well as some fruits to avoid if you're looking to slash your carb intake.


Fruits to eat:

Watermelon. Watermelon is one of the least nutritious fruits because there is little fiber, glucose, and carbs. This is beneficial when craving a fruit because of the carb amount is so low.

Strawberries. Strawberries are one of the fruits with the lowest carbs, which is good news for me. Berries are known to be low in carbs compared to other kinds of fruits.

Cantaloupe. Cantaloupe is another fruit that is low in carbs. These orange melons are also low in fructose, which is also beneficial when dieting.

Fruits to avoid:

On the other hand, some fruits that are extremely high in carbs are as follow.

Bananas. Bananas are the highest carb fruit there is. If you are on any kind of low carb diet bananas are your enemy. Stay away.

Apples. This is another sad one. Apples are high in both glucose and carbs so they are a recipe for dieting disaster.

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.

I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
