If you have dietary restrictions, you understand how hard it can be to find foods that you can ACTUALLY eat. And you really really miss the days when you didn't have them. Because your favorite snacks are now off limits and you hate not being able to eat them. Or maybe you eat them and suffer the consequences.

Going to a restaurant and having very few options to eat.

Going to restaurants is the worst and if you're a picky eater, it's a nightmare.

Being sad eating the same boring food.

You just really want something but you can't have it. So you're stuck with the food you got. It really can suck.

When you find something you can eat that's really delicious AND a treat!

You're stomach and brain both say no. Plus you have some regrets.

Finding a whole aisle of food you can eat.

It might sound boring to eat something every time but honestly, it's good food and won't make you sick.

When your friends have nothing for you to eat.

You understand and know that you'll survive. But it will suck watching them eat food.

When your friends or family or coworkers order food you can't eat.

But you really want some. But you can't have any.

But you reallllyyyyy want some.

Having to eat foods you don't really like.

If you're a picky eater, you've had to learn to start liking some foods.

And worst of all accidentally eating something you weren't supposed to.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
