Things People Say To Vegetarians.

1. So, what do you eat?So. Much. Food. The vegetarian options out there are almost endless.

2. Where do you get your protein from?I've gotten this question so may times I am starting to wonder if people know what protein even is. Or at the very least they overestimate the amount of protein in meat and underestimate the amount in vegetables.

3. Don’t you miss meat?I'm sure this isn't true for all vegetarians, but the thought of eating meat makes me feel sick. Also, most people who choose to give up probably do enjoy the last of meat-most people do. But their will and moral obligations are simply stronger than their taste buds.

4. But do you eat fish? Fish isn’t meat.I have honestly never understood this argument...A fish is a living animal yes? So the flesh of that once living thing you consumed is meat. Simple.

5. So you don’t eat bacon??? How sad.I bet this little guy doesn't think that's so sad.

6. Oh , I could never do that.You can, you just don't want to. It's okay to admit that.

7. You know we’re meant to eat meat right?You know I'm partially doing this for my own health right?

8. What if you trapped on a deserted island, would you eat meat then?In that crazy hypothetical situation would I eat meat? Yeah, probably. But the meat in that situation wouldn't have been the result of mass torture and murder. Just saying.

9. Is it because you want to lose weight ?Nope, just a perk.

10. You know you’re just killing plants right. Yet another one i will never understand. Yes, I understand are living things. But do they have brains? Maybe hearts? Do they think, have feelings, families, communities, ect? And this argument is invalid because I'm sure just one cow (or your meat) eats/"kills" more plants in one day than I consume in a week. So whose the "plant killer" now?

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
