Real Talk: I Have An Obsession With Oranges

I am sure you can all relate to this in some way, we all have that food that makes us feel happy and gitty inside.

Oranges make me feel happy. They give me energy when all I want to do is collapse on the floor and sleep.

Oranges have been an important part of my college experience. I have probably spent 56% of my dining dollars on oranges (and 20% of it on hummus, but that is for a different article.)

My favorite orange breed is the "Golden Nugget Mandarin" which is found in stores between March-July. I haven't had one since June; I went to India for a month and when I got back, they were gone. I am patiently waiting for March 2017.

Anyways, in honor of oranges and their greatness, here is a list of 20 reasons to try to explain my non-explainable love towards this delicious fruit.

  1. Marvels created a "captain citrus" superhero in 2014.
  2. Oranges have the most logical name. Fruits like kiwis and papayas are why kids drop out of school these days.
  3. Ant-man asked for orange slices in Captain America: Civil War because oranges are the best fruit to consume to recover being defeated (by finals).
  4. They are the sweetest and softest fruit in the world.
  5. Oranges help your brain focus: an orange a day will make sure the only "C" you get is the vitamin kind.
  6. You can juice them easily.
  7. There are so many ways to eat them. Try this method. It is brilliance.
  8. They smell as good as they taste.
  9. "Orange flavor" actually tastes like oranges... not cough syrup.
  10. Oranges are safe to feed to dogs.
  11. Oranges are one of the only fruits my dog, Google, will actually eat because they smell and taste good.
  12. Cold oranges on a summer day: all I need to say.
  13. They come in CUTE sizes (a.k.a cuties).
  14. Apparently, oranges are actually part of the berry family. They are just obese, plump berries.
  15. Vitamin C. Oranges have a lot of it.
  16. The highest demand of fruit per person in America is for oranges.
  17. The health benefits are real: clears your skin, rich in nutrients, decreases risk of cancer, lowers blood pressure, improves immunity, lowers cholesterol, protects the heart, high in fiber, good for your hair, benefits your eyes.
  18. They are scientifically proven to make people happy!!
  19. You don't need to use a knife. They are the finger food of fruit.
  20. Oranges are widely available EVERYWHERE. Don't expect to walk into Whole Foods and find some cut up guava... because I can tell you right now, they won't have that.

Orange you glad oranges are the best fruit ever.

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.
