12 Things You Will Relate To If You're a Vegetarian

This time last year, I was in the process of transitioning into a vegetarian. It was never something I thought I would do, but after a year, I can't even remember what meat tastes like. Vegetarianism has become a big part of who I am this year; it was actually a very easy switch for me, and I'm glad I decided to do it. Though, if there is one thing I can say I learned in the past year, it would be that not everyone you talk to will understand this. I have received various questions about my diet change over the past year, and if you're also a vegetarian, you will definitely know what I'm talking about. That is why, in honor of my one year veggie-versary, I have compiled a list of things you will relate to if you're a vegetarian/ vegan.


1. Everyone asking if you eat grass or rabbit food

2. People being overly concerned about your protein intake

3. Being asked if you still eat fish

4. When people say you murder plants because they're living things too

5. Being told you have to eat meat because God put animals here for that purpose

6. People always asking, "Is it OK if I eat in front of you?"

7. When you tell someone you don't eat meat and they can't comprehend how you've lived so long without bacon

8. Everyone assuming that your diet is unhealthy

9. The constant jokes you receive about tofu

10. Your parents no longer having any idea how to feed you

11. Being bombarded with questions when someone lets it slip that you don't eat meat

12. People asking when your diet is going to end because they assume it's just a phase

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
