I Eat Plant-Based Meals And No, I'm Not Missing Out On Anything

I eat this way, but I'm not here to convince you to make the switch — it's to tell you I don't care if you don't like how I eat.

I Eat Plant-Based Meals And No, I'm Not Missing Out On Anything

I've wanted to write about this for a while now because so many people have been giving me a hard time ever since I've adjusted my diet — and by hard time, I mean questioning my diet and my reason for eating the way I eat.

First of all, I absolutely did not have a choice. This diet is the only diet that has worked for my stomach, however, many people don't want to believe this. Because plant-based eating has become a trend lately, others are struggling to believe that my diet isn't just to gain attention. I'm definitely not complaining about everyone hopping on the bandwagon. After all, it's super helpful to follow others who share recipes that would be beneficial to you.

My diet is the best thing about my life, like, seriously. I enjoy eating plant-based meals more than anything in the world. While I'm certainly not a vegan, I do try my best to eat as healthy as I can. A new diet can be hard to stick to, especially when you're first starting out, but the best thing to do is make a routine and stick to it.

My morning and night routines are what makes my diet so fun and easy for me to stick to. It took me a while to get into a solid routine that I actually liked, but the more you try and adjust the better your routine and diet will be. Not only for your diet and health but in general. Having set routines is important because having a structure is super beneficial.

As I said before, it's been hard for people to understand why I eat the way I eat. Don't get me wrong, I love junk food and everything about it. It was really hard to make the adjustment to healthy all around eating, so taking it one step at a time makes it a lot easier. I still struggle with knowing when to stop eating or choosing something better for me over something I want. It's challenging, but if you're thinking about doing it, you have to just go for it. There is no time like the present.

I also understand that people won't ever understand why I eat this way — and that's totally okay. Everyone does what they think is best for them and that's all you can do. Eating this way has its pros and cons just like everything in the world. I truly enjoy making better choices and eating healthier for myself. It's something my mom has been very passionate about for a long time. Finally, I feel the same passion for a healthy body that she does. Healthy starts from the inside out. Taking care of yourself is extremely important.

If you're thinking about making the switch to a healthier diet, then do it! It's never too late.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
