If you know me, you know I come with a side of rice and beans. I've unfortunately met people who don't understand that Mexican food is the best food, but I'm here to inform you: it is. I could keep you scrolling for hours, but I'll cut to what's important and just give you the top 10 reasons Mexican food is the best food.

It can be eaten as a snack or a full blown meal.

No matter what you're in the mood for, a snack or dinner, Mexican food will not let you down! For a quick snack, you can eat one taco or some chips and queso. If you're really hungry and want to make a meal of it, you can start with some salsa and order a few tacos with some rice or beans on the side.

It's fast.

Mexican food is always two things: delicious and fast. If you're in a rush or are too hungry to wait, you can get a full meal at a Mexican restaurant in under 15 minutes.

Queso.

I personally do not know anyone who doesn't like cheese. The fact that you can go to a Mexican restaurant and order queso as an appetizer or queso to pour over your rice (and everything else on your plate) and no one judges you, is the most genius/beautiful/magical thing I've experienced.

It can be healthy. 

If you don't care what you eat, eat Mexican! If you do care what you eat, eat Mexican! There are plenty of healthy options at Mexican restaurants such as taco salads, grilled chicken tacos, chicken and rice, guacamole, and the list goes on. If you are looking out for your health, you can still enjoy

It's great for meat-eaters and non-meat-eaters.

A lot of people know at least one person who is vegan, vegetarian or pescetarian. Get all of your friends together without spending five hours to decide where to eat by offering up Mexican food! Rice and beans are a complete protein, so your vegetarian friends can eat a hearty meal alongside you!

Margaritas and beer!

What came first, tequila or tacos? I'm not sure the world will ever know, but anyone who serves the two together is a win in my book.

It's cheap.

If you want a good, filling meal for the low-low and don't want to eat fast food: Mexican restaurants. You can get a lunch combo with a drink and sides for under $10 at any Mexican restaurant.

Don't want to go to a restaurant? Make it at home!

Tacos are a quick and easy meal that anyone can learn to cook! Impress for friends and family with a Mexican feast of tacos, queso, and beer, where the only thing you have to do is cook taco meat, make some rice and throw some refried beans on the stove to heat up.

Free chips and salsa come with your food. 

There is nothing complicated about free chips and salsa. Its chips and salsa, so like YUM. And its free? Sign me up.

There's something on the menu for everyone- even if you don't like Mexican food!

Chicken tenders, burgers, and fries are on just about every Mexican restaurant menu for those of you who just can't wrap their head around the amazingness of Mexican food.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
