Taco Tuesday? I'd rather not...

To Be Honest, I Would Be OK If Tacos Ceased To Exist

After reading the headline and choosing to click in here, you're probably in a near panic because tacos are your entire life, right? Yeah. I get that a lot every time I tell someone that I don't really like them that much. I will never understand the hype around tacos. I mean, they're good, but like, they're not that good, people.

Don't get me wrong, I can eat them and I even enjoy them sometimes, but I would be 100% OK if tacos didn't exist. My life could go on and I wouldn't be sad if I never ate another one. This has gotten me some really weird looks in my life, but I assure you, I'm totally fine with it.

In fact, I'm so fine without tacos that I can't even remember the last time I had one.

I'm not a health freak, but they're so greasy that even I can't eat one and I was raised on traditional southern cooking. The meat is all ground up and has that grease. You don't melt the cheese, so it just ends up falling off and the vegetables end up being raw, but still warm, which is gross. How does this sound appealing to you?

"Then what do you get at Taco Bell?" a friend once asked me when I told her this. I get God's personal gift to mankind, the quesadilla. Let me just tell you all about the best Mexican food there is, the quesadilla. It's a tortilla, stuffed with strips of meat, peppers, and onions, and lots of cheese. Sounds like a taco right? Wrong. Because the quesadilla is cooked in a pan with butter, thus melting the cheese and making my heart happy (traditional southern eater right here) as well as placing it far above the taco.

I live in dread of being asked to do "Taco Tuesday" with someone because, no thanks. It's to the point that my mom doesn't even make them for dinner when I'm going to be eating at home. I can eat them. I don't even hate to eat them. But I would never choose them and I would certainly be OK if they ceased to exist.

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.
