The Struggles of Constantly Being Hungry

The #1 way to my heart is buying me food.

The Struggles of Constantly Being Hungry

I don’t know about you, but I am the one in the friend group that constantly has to be eating or snacking. Most of the time I don’t even have to be hungry to eat. I have been stranded places where I can’t eat and it is basically the worst possible scenario that one could experience (I may be a little dramatic). Here is a quick glimpse into what constantly being hungry looks like.

Hanger is real.

For those of you who haven’t heard of hanger, here’s a quick definition...  

Hanger: a combination of hunger and anger. The result of waiting so long to eat that it affects your mood and decision making.

I face hanger at least once a week, and it isn't pretty. My friends can swear for me that when I get hangry, I better get food soon… and fast. All of the nice that I have disappears in a moment. Last year I went on spring break to Florida I and had a strange experience. With the mix of the sun and heat, I would get even hungrier than usually throughout the day which I didn't even know was possible. At one point I was so desperate for food that I ate my friend’s loaf of bread… and as you can guess; there are pictures to prove that this actually happened. This wasn’t my proudest moment, but in the end, a loaf of bread was better than no food.

The Midnight Snack (a.k.a. the 4th meal).

Every night like clockwork when it hits around 11:30 or 12 a.m., I start to get hungry. Yes, I know what you are all thinking it is very inconvenient. Strange looks are also a common occurrence while eating my fourth meal, but that is just something you have to get used to when you get hangry. I will eat just about anything, from chips to leftovers in the fridge. The midnight snack has no limitations. 

Having to prepare for any situation.

Going on a trip to the city? Better bring a snack. Going to the mall? Again, better have a snack. It’s not fun being stranded somewhere that doesn’t supply food. That is why constantly having snacks comes in handy. Plus it’s a great way to make friends, because once again you are the girl that always has food with you (being sarcastic of course).

If you are one of those people that said that all of these things have happened to you too, you are not alone.

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.
