Stop Judging My Unhealthy Eating Habits

Give me nuggets or give me death.

Considering the fact that it's 2017, I thought we as a society were over food shaming! However, we apparently aren't based on the looks I get when I declare my love for Taco Bell or the amount of times I have heard "I don't drink soda" or "I haven't drank soda since I was 6" when offering my friends a soda. Honestly, I am so tired of the judgment. To quote Ron Swanson, " The whole point of this country is if you want to eat garbage, balloon up to 600 pounds and die of a heart attack at 43, you can! You are free to do so. To me, that's beautiful".

I don't believe in meal prep because what am I a 40-year-old man that got super into cross fit after going through a messy divorce? The closest I come to meal prep is grabbing a cheese pizza lunchable from the fridge. The prep is done for me, and I don't have to eat the same chicken and veggies I had for the last three days.

Also so what if I pair my fish with easy mac and tater tots? Does it affect your life? Or if I eat Taco Bell three times in one week? Or if I have a soda or two every day? Does any of this affect anyone but me? No, no it does not! I exercise and maintain a healthy weight, so why do you feel the need to act like I'm 600 hundred pounds and fighting for my life.

I'm sorry you have a problem with the way I eat, but I honestly do not care. I am going to continue to eat my dinosaur nuggets with chips and salsa and a can or two of coke. If I balloon up to a billion pounds, fine by me. If I die early, so be it. Why would I want to live to be one-hundred if I can't be happy? I rather die at 42 with a face full of salty french fries from McDonald's. If meal prepping and drinking *shudders* water make you happy and you want to live to be one-hundred years old and watch all your unhealthy friends die around you then do it, but if eating Taco Bell 6 times a week makes you happy then live your best life!

For my super healthy friends if you will try not to judge me for my unhealthy eating habits then I will try not to judge you for your ridiculous ways of meal prepping and drinking water *shudders*.

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.
