If you are or ever have been a picky eater you know how to navigate the menu to find something you can eat. You know your favorite foods and dishes, the ones that can do you no wrong and are always good. Additionally, you also know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the foods and dishes you'll avoid at all costs. You've dealt with the difficulties of trying new foods and going to restaurants that are outside of your comfort zone. These are the things you know to be very true if you've ever categorized yourself as a picky eater.

1. Your order is always complicated

It always takes time to figure out the dishes you like. Even after choosing a dish on the menu, there are most likely one or more things you don't want. Mayo, aioli, tomatoes, onions, pickles, and the list goes on.

2. Anything called "the Classic" describes your food choices

The classic anything tends to be simple and easy. I've been to restaurants where a simple cheese pizza was called "The Classic". Classic pizza, sandwich, and pasta options are the best.

3. Your choices at a restaurant are always limited

You have foods and dishes you know you will like anywhere. But because you're picky, there aren't that many options that you'll like. You're lucky if a menu has more than two things you would order. Make sure to pick a dish you will like!

4. You have your go to, safe orders at every resturant

You know the restaurants that you love because they have dishes that cater to your pickiness. You know you can always find something you'll like at these restaurants and you are so thankful for them.

5. You always feel bad asking for so many changes

Because most of your orders become complicated with lots of changes, you feel bad for making your order so difficult. You always feel bad for your order being too long and confusing.

6. Its hard to find a place to agree on when deciding where to eat

You know the places that will have dishes you know you will like, which makes trying new places really scary. You have no clue what their menu will be like. This makes it difficult to decide on a place everyone would like.

7. Your friends start to know your orders because you always get the same thing

Because you have your go-to orders which you get all the time, your friends start to catch on and always can guess what you will order. Are they surprised when you order the same thing all the time? Nope!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
