The Hangry Life

The unfortunate combination of hunger and anger.

The Hangry Life

There's hungry...

there's angry...

and then, there's HANGRY!

Hanger is an unfortunate combination of the awful sensations of hunger and anger mixed all into one. Hanger causes us to forget socially acceptable behavior and embark on a violent rampage.

When someone is either angry or hungry it's bad enough, but when hunger leads to anger, you best buckle your seat belts because a volcanic eruption of crazy is about to ensue.

In case there is any confusion, here is a handy dandy diagram for you visual learners...

Hanger has the ability to turn a Mother Teresa into a Grinch. It has the ability to terminate a few relationships. It has the ability to make an individual loose all their marbles. All in all, hanger is a dramatic turn around from emotional sanity to emotional insanity.

As Snickers always says, you're not you when you're hungry. The reason you're not you is because your stomach is about to turn inside out, eat your soul and probably all the souls around you.

While it may seem that this is just some silly made up phenomena, hanger is about as real as real gets. When we eat, our bodies break down nutrients and circulate them through our blood stream, giving us energy. When our blood-glucose levels drop too low, our bodies start to go into panic mode. Therefore, hanger. It's as easy as one, two, three, people. No food, leads to not being happy, leads to hanger.

Now that we've established the reality of this sad but true malady, it's time for me to play Dr. Phil and offer my best advice...

The best advice I can give you if you are around someone who is undergoing a hanger metamorphosis is to either 1) ignore them and let them have their moment, 2) carry an emergency granola bar to calm their madness, or simply, 3) run.

For those of you who are undergoing hanger, there is only one piece of advice I can give you: milk it to all it's worth because this is the only time you can blame the emergence of your evil twin on an excuse to eat all the food you see.

For as awful as hanger may appear, it is simply our body's way of telling us to eat something before we kill someone. So technically, we should be thanking hanger because it tells us in a desperate emotional state, food is the answer, not murder. For as much as it may appear that we want to murder those around us, all we really want is for our mouths to murder something with calories.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
