10 Things Vegans Say That Make Me Want To Shove A Burger In Their Mouth

I am not trying to be rude to vegans. It's a different lifestyle that I respect. But honestly, a part of me just will never understand. I get it, animals are super important to our eco system and preserving and protetcing them is essential to our environment. I love animals just as much as the next guy. But i believe that some of them were meant to be eaten! I am totally against people hunting for fun or hunting in wild habitats, but bacon, chicken, all of that is essential to my stomach!

1. "Does this have dairy in it?"

YEAH IT PROBABLY DOES. ALL GOOD THINGS THAT ARE CREAMY AND DELICIOUS HAVE DAIRY IN IT OK?!

2. "Do you have your meals labeled as vegan or vegetarian here?"

Listen, most big-ticket items at restaurants besides pasta dishes are made with some sort of animal meat... I'm sorry but that's the way it works. The majority of people love steakhouses! You can't get mad at institutions that appeal to the masses.

3. "I never get sick"

COOL. I'm willing to sacrifice a cold or stomach bug every once in a while if that means I can eat a burger and shake or eggs with cheese instead of only eating tofu and rice.

4. "You must hate animals"

Actually, I can guarantee that all "carnivores" loooovvveeee animals. We love them so much that we like to use them for one of their many purposes: being eaten. I love animals and it's offensive to me that you think that just because I have salmon at dinner, I am out to get our underwater ecosystem. I'm not the villain alright?

5. "Doesn't that hurt your stomach... I'm so grossed out"

No, it doesn't hurt my stomach. Actually eating meat provides me with lots of proteins and vitamins that I need to function as a human being.

6. "MATCHA MATCHA MATCHA"

Matcha is pretty good, I'll give you that, but coffee is soooo much better. I can tell a matcha iced latte is powder from some weird nut/plant. Having a freshly brewed coffee with cream and sugar- there's just nothing better.

7. "Vegan recipes honestly don't taste that different from regular non-vegan recipes"

YES THEY DO. Let me know what the hell you are putting in vegan mac and cheese... That's made completely by animals! What kind of weird ingredients are you using to make these mock-meals? I am confused as to how you could think vegan lasagna tastes anywhere close to regular lasagna!

8. "Almond milk and coconut milk is just as good as the milk you take from a cow"

This milk is OKAY. It's way more expensive, boujee, and flavorless!

9. "You're basically a murderer."

No babe, I'm not. If you believe in all living things having souls and shit then you must also believe that ripping roots out of the ground to shove into your mouth is wrong too! Decide what your morals are and stick to them and don't make me feel bad for choosing a different lifestyle, k?!

10. " There's just never enough options for me"

I'm sorry but sometimes it feels like veganism is just a trend. Veganism is just now starting to get more popular and mainstream. You can't expect every single restaurant and grocery store can be accommodating. Go to a place that you know has options!

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.

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.
