Salads are fine, but fries are better.

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

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?

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.
