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

Giphy

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

Giphy

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

Giphy

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

Giphy

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!

This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions.

Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
