What It's Like To Be A Picky Eater, As Told By 'Parks and Recreation'
NBC

Being a picky eater might have to be one of the hardest things. It seems that no matter hard you try, there is never anything you like on a menu. But luckily the show "Parks and Recreation" helps with understanding the complicated life that a picky eater lives daily.

How nervous you are to eat over bae's parents' house for the first time


When your friends try to get you to try something new



Basically how you feel about skim milk, coconut milk, almond milk and all other fake beverages and foods


When your friends ask you what you want to eat

Mozzarella Sticks. Obviously.

When you don't like anything on the menu, so you order dessert for dinner instead

"Yeah, I'll have a Triple Chocolate Meltdown, double the meltdown, double the ice cream... for dinner? Thanks."

When you completely alter a menu item and it's not even close to what it's supposed to be

"Okay, can I have the Classic American cheeseburger, but no meat, no lettuce, no tomato, no onion... and toast the bun?"

When someone asks you if you would like a salad

When bae finds a way to mix your two favorite foods in a non-disgusting way

When the waiter/waitress lets you order off the kid's menu, even though all of your friends told you that they wouldn't

When someone asks you to list the foods you don't like

Honestly, it's easier for me to list the things I do like.

When someone tells you that you should try new things

HA. That's probably not happening.

How you feel when someone orders something off the menu with absolutely no modifications

When you agree to try something new, and then quickly begin to realize that it was a horrible idea

When you're criticized for eating the same thing over and over and over again

Like pizza and french fries.

But at the end of the day, you realize that just because you're a picky eater doesn't mean anything -- you are still amazing

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.
