I am not the first, and will definitely not be the last, to say that food is my favorite thing in the entire world. I promise you when I say that I've watched Buzzfeed's Tasty videos for hours. As a nineteen year old girl, I'm probably not doing myself a justice when I say that I'd rather stay at home with a feast of my favorite foods instead of going to parties or dates. But there is a comfort that freshly packaged and processed food brings and I'm happy to share some of my favorites with you. Who needs a guy that will break your heart, when you know that food never will? Now, I may not have a significant other or even a weekly income, but what I do have is food, in all of its glorious shapes and forms.
1. Pizza
May it be pepperoni or peppered, thick or thin crusted, pizza will always be number one. Though I could do with a little less grease, I don't imagine picking a boy over pizza any time soon.
2. Cake
Glorious, glorious, cake. I've never been a huge fan of frosting, but it's what's on the inside that matters most, right? I love me some chocolate cake, but would definitely settle for some red velvet.
3. Ice cream
The best thing about ice cream is that there's a flavor for every mood. You have birthday cake for your happiest of moods, and chocolate chunk for your saddest of times. Grab a pint and a spoon and turn on your tv for some much needed "me-time."
4. Cookies
Cookies are not for every occasion. I feel like some cookies are more dainty, while girl scout cookies are meant to be devoured in seconds. But no matter your circumstances, there is always a cookie for you to chomp on.
5. Chicken
I have been known to eat a lot of chicken and I have zero regrets. Whether it be in nugget or wing form, it's all the same feeling of comfort. Like Mindy Lahiri, practice your right to "life, liberty, and chicken wings!"
6. Candy
Candy, yes candy. It's a food. It's a gift. If I could survive only off of candy, trust me, I would. I am no stranger to sugary and artificially colored substances, and I urge you to be the same.
7. Breakfast food
There are just some days when you just really need a pancake. Or a waffle, or bacon. Tomorrow morning, live like Leslie Knope and devour those delicious waffles.
8. Cheese
Cheese in all of its forms is great. There's grilled cheese, mac and cheese, even nacho cheese, and that's only the beginning. Lactose intolerance aside, Americans love cheese. Who's to say we shouldn't?
9. Chinese food
A little MSG never hurt nobody, right? (This is not a scientifically proven fact). The Gilmore girls know better than anyone that food is much better than men ever will be. They practically live for pigging out in front of their couch, and eating as much as they can is something to strive for.
10. Donuts
Last, but certainly not least, donuts. Or is it "doughnuts?" Anyway, donuts are one of my favorites to eat either with a buddy, or by myself. And with a glaze so thick and dough just as fluffy, who needs a guy?
Now before you say anything else, just remember that you too do not need a guy. You do need food for survival. Now go ahead and grab your best silverware and make the best plate you could ever imagine. Bon appetite!
