I'm SO Sorry My Order Of Chicken Tenders And Fries Bothers You So Much

Stop judging me for being a picky eater, thanks.

I'm SO Sorry My Order Of Chicken Tenders And Fries Bothers You So Much
Wikipedia Common

Yes, I know I'm a picky eater. No, I don't need you to remind me every time we go out together and I order chicken tenders and fries.

My eating habits are my business, not yours.

Did I ask for your opinion on them? No, I didn't."I'm just trying to help". I get that. But until I ask for your help, don't try. I know if I am healthy or not. I know that my eating habits may not be the best, but I'm fine. I am happy with my eating habits and I am healthy, so why does it matter to you?

What you also don't see is that I go to the gym, which makes up for eating not so healthy foods. I am not overweight because of my unhealthy eating. "It will all catch up to you soon." Cool, and when it does, I'll take care of it. But it hasn't yet, so leave me alone. I still have a high metabolism and I'm going to take advantage of that for as long as I can.

And just because I ordered chicken tenders doesn't mean I always eat them.

When I go out to an unfamiliar restaurant, I will probably order chicken tenders because it is a safe food to get. You can't go wrong with chicken tenders, they're always good. I don't want to order something I end up not liking and then waste my money.

Believe it or not, I do eat healthy foods fairly often.

And even more shocking, I try new things all the time! But I will not try a new food if you are holding it in front of me forcing me to eat it. Because even if I do like it, I will say I don't because you annoyed me. I need to try foods on my own terms.

Also, you are pointing out my biggest insecurity by saying I'm a picky eater.

I don't need a lecture, I know it's not the healthiest habit. But it is so rude of you to bring it up all the time and make me feel so awful about myself as if I'm not already self-conscious about it. You don't see me pointing out your weight and telling you that you need to change it.

That is your business. And who knows, maybe you're already working on it. Don't you think that I may be working on my insecurity too and you pointing it out to me is just going to make things worse?

I appreciate you caring about me, but please just stop reminding me that I'm a picky eater. I know I am, and you telling me isn't going to change anything.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
