Tacos: A Love Story

Let's 'taco bout it.

Tacos: A Love Story
American Mexican Food Tacos

Before I begin, I would just like to say that if you do not like tacos, I'm sorry, but I do not appreciate you as a human. I mean seriously, I don't care if it's a Choco Taco or Tacos al Pastor...there is a taco out there for everyone. A taco waiting for you to enjoy every inch of its delectable insides is always just what the doctor ordered after a long day of classes or a quick taco craving at the lunch hour. To be quite honest, I wouldn't judge you if you wanted to nosh on tacos in the morning hours as well. TACOS AT EVERY MEAL. Alright here comes my rant. You can put on your sombrero now.

First off, I don't discriminate against tacos. I don't care if you're a fresh, health-conscious person who prefers a corn tortilla featuring lettuce, pico de gallo and a light mahi-mahi. Or if you're into beefy and cheesy tacos smothered in guacamole and sour cream. Personally, I'm into a hard shell taco toasted up in the oven for optimum crispy deliciousness, with ground meat (beef, chicken or turkey...I don't care) and topped with lettuce, peppers, guac and medium salsa. Perfection. God bless, America.

Moving on, I would like to discuss the fact that tacos have their very own day of the week, EVERY WEEK. Taco Tuesday is a beautiful occasion because 1. This is a day I can celebrate my favorite meal of all time and 2. Because it gives me a reason to look forward to ending my day and winding down on the most random day of the week— Tuesday. Can you tell me another food group that has its own day of the week? Yeah, I didn't think so.

Tacos pair well with several things. Most importantly, margaritas. "Yo Lex, want to get tacos and margs tonight?"

Come one now, of course I do. What a silly question!

A pitcher of margaritas and a plate of hot tacos is perhaps my favorite way to end the week. The salt, striking taste of tequila and fruity accent of lime pairs flawlessly with the crunch and spicy goodness of a taco. Margs and tacos, tacos and margs. It just makes sense.

The truth it, tacos bring people together. Whether you're spending time preparing ingredients and making your own for a family dinner or having a night out at your favorite Mexican joint with your besties, tacos are great way to spend time and socialize with your favorite peeps in your life.

We are all a part of a big taco. Some of us are the sweet mango salsa that keeps everyone grounded, while some of us are the spicy habanero pepper that keeps everyone on their toes and makes life exciting! Maybe you're the crunchy outer shell that runs the show and brings everyone together. Whatever part of the taco you are, remember that you are a special part of creating that perfect bite.

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.
