22 Struggles Of Picky Eaters Who Will Eat Anything
Robin Stickel

I love food. I eat more than most teenage boys eat. I'll eat anything you put in front of me. But I prefer my fried buffalo chicken over vegetables. I'm part of a special group of people who love food but have a select few favorites that they eat 90% of the time (and I literally ate those foods for a whole week). All my other non-picky picky eaters will understand these:

1. You will eat at any time of the day

2. And you eat around 6 meals a day

3. You say you'll eat anything

4. Which is true, until it's not

5. You are personally offended when someone calls you a picky eater

6. Buffets are your favorite thing ever

7. Because having to choose between foods is the worst kind of torture

8. You have your set menu of favorites

9. Which you'll never turn down

10. And prefer to eat over any other option

11. So when you're offered a bucket of chicken wings and a caesar salad, you always pick the chicken

12. You believe all foods should be treated equally

13. Except some should be treated better than others

14. Your pantry is never empty so you always have something to snack on

15. But the shelf with your favorite chips tends to run out faster than the shelf of dried fruits.

16. You've tried almost everything on a restaurant's menu but still order the same thing every time.

17. You never turn down trying a new restaurant

18. And always suggest getting something to eat when you're with your friends

19. People are surprised when you eat something healthy

20. And you have to explain to them that you don't hate salads, they just aren't as good as a burger

21. You know your relationship with food is complicated

22. But you'll still love food more than any person

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
