What Your Favorite Salad Dressing Says About You
Lilapud


Let's face it, salad is not number one on your list of favorite foods. The thought of having a plate full of vegetables makes your stomach churn and your face grimace. If you could get away with never eating salad, you most likely would; but, many restaurants push side salads as a way to keep their customers content between appetizers and entrées. The only thing that makes eating these obligatory vegetables more bearable is salad dressing. What's your favorite say about you?


Ranch

You're liked by a lot of people and versatile - like your favorite dressing - and you're not afraid of calories. Your friends tell you how bad ranch is for you, saying that it consists purely of fat, but you don't care. You're happy with your body and can't imagine a better way to make your vegetables edible. You prefer to have a side of salad with your dressing rather than vice versa. When eating out, you usually have to ask your server to bring extra dressing with your salad, but they never bring you enough. You're not ashamed to send them back to bring you more liquid deliciousness. Once you've gotten enough ranch, you douse your salad with it, making it into a ranch-veggie soup. You believe that more is more, and that more ranch is better.


Thousand Island

You're unconventional, unique, and sweet. You have a certain something that no one else can replicate. You're not exactly sure what's in thousand island; but, you're not picky and it tastes good, so you eat it. You use a moderate amount of dressing on your salads, because you believe in quality over quantity. You're not quite one in a million, but being one in a thousand isn't bad.


Vinaigrette

You're unpredictable, a little bit pretentious, and certainly driven by good eating habits. You request a complicated variation of vinaigrette at every restaurant you go to and are extremely disappointed when they don't have it. Sorry, but they've never even heard of the light mango berry balsamic vinaigrette you rave on and on about. You're pickier than the other salad dressing fanatics, and simply can't settle for Italian or oil and vinegar. You order vinaigrette because you feel obligated to make the health-conscious choice, plus it's tasty enough to spruce up your salad. Your refined palate is hard to please, so it might be best to bring your own dressing with you.


Honey Mustard

You're a child at heart. You appear in adult form; however, you've refused to give up your favorite childhood dipping sauce, even when it comes to salad eating. The sweetness of the honey and the tanginess of the mustard can disguise even the most dreadful vegetables as candy coated treats. Like honey mustard, you're great on your own; but, you also work well with others. When ordering out, you try to sound fancy around your adult friends by calling it "honey dijon". Deep down, you know that it's just plain old honey mustard, and you're just fine with that.


Blue Cheese

You don't have tastebuds.


Italian

You're zesty, sassy, and adventurous. You bring the life to the party like Italian dressing brings life to your dead veggies. You're full of surprises and sometimes you come off as overpowering. Italian dressing is as sexy as the nationality and allows your taste buds to frolic in the flavors of foreign lands. You can throw your favorite dressing on just about anything, turning chicken, salads and noodles into dishes full of zest.


Caesar

You're simple and don't like to wait around for things. Same goes for Caesar salads. They have few ingredients of them - only one of which is actually a vegetable - and they're ready to eat when they arrive at the table. You're good at improvising, just like the inventor of Caesar dressing, and are extremely resourceful. Some people accuse you of playing with your food, but you have to stab the salad multiple times to get those dang croutons on your fork.



No Dressing

You want your vegetables to taste like dirt? Seriously, just pick a dressing.


You "don't eat salad" or are "allergic to lettuce"

Quit bullshitting us. We can all agree that salad is terrible. Just admit that you hate it.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
