I like to challenge myself in different areas of my life whenever I can. Whether it be trying a new diet to see if it makes me feel any different, or try something new that anyone suggests. I'm pretty carefree in that regard.

This summer I decided to try to be vegetarian/pescatarian for a little bit. I hate having to commit to a diet type. Maybe one week, I want to try being a vegetarian, and the next I'm trying Keto because, why not? The diet you choose really does not have to define you. This summer I challenged myself to be able to save on groceries and eat healthy at the same time.

Here are a few products that help me do this:

Soy Chorizo

This is a staple in my house lately. I can make a taco salad, mock chipotle bowl, spaghetti sauce or anything without the guilt or calories!

Plantain Chips

These are seriously the best snack ever. You can crunch them up and put them in salad, or dip them in your fav dip.

Dr. Praeger's California Veggie Burgers

If you're trying to stray away from eating meat but still want protein these are the goat. They use pea protein instead of soy which is so much better for you. Put it on a bun, in a salad, or just by itself for a filling meal.

Avocados

Smashed avocado with Trader Joe's Everything But The Bagel seasoning is the easiest and yummiest breakfast I have ever had.

Cauliflower Rice

The best side ever with coconut aminos or your own fried rice.

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.

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.
