Why not enjoy eating right?

15 Things We Should Be Eating More Of
Nutrition Realm

All of us struggle with eating healthy, as America has one of the largest obesity epidemics worldwide. With so many greasy food options, how can we help ourselves? Chick-Fil-A treats me better than my own family sometimes, as does a good chicken biscuit and frosted coffee in the morning or in the car. Here are a few things that actually taste good that make us not feel like we have just crawled out of greasy hell.


1. Chicken

Yes, I wish it was fried chicken too, but with the right toppings, you may find yourself preferring a grilled chicken sandwich instead.


2. Sweet Potatoes

It's like diet candy, minus the chemical flavor.


3. Dark Chocolate

No, not pure cacao. Dark chocolate is a perfect substitution for milk or white chocolate.


4. Plain Greek Yogurt

Tastes exactly like sour cream on your tacos, no wonder it's not so good paired with fruit and granola.


5. Green Beans

Arguably, the best beans.


6. Shrimp

The best news EVER.


7. Cauliflower

If you have yet to have mashed cauliflower, you have not truly lived.


8. Chia Seeds

They don't taste like anything, sprinkle some on your toast or in your yogurt and boom, instant health.


9. Black Coffee

We all know what this does...


10. Oranges

You are lying if you say you hate oranges.


11. Grapefruit

Half a grapefruit with a little sugar is THE perfect way to wake up.


12. Avocados


13. Eggs

Preferably hard boiled, but a fried egg never killed anyone.


14. Tomatoes

Did someone say, salsa???


15. WATER

The actual cure-all.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
