3 Reasons Asparagus Is The Worst Vegetable

Eat your greens, but not this one!

I was never a kid who disliked vegetables. Whenever my parents made dinner, I never hesitated to put broccoli, green beans, carrots, lima beans, etc. on my plate. The only exception? When there was asparagus. Even today, that is still the only exception. Here are five reasons why asparagus is the devil of the vegetable family.

1. The flavor

The most important part of the food is obviously the flavor, which asparagus is really not good at. Other vegetables are sweet or tangy, but asparagus is bitter and, to me, tastes like soapy tar. (Not that I know what that tastes like, but if I had a guess, it would taste like asparagus.)

2. The texture

Now, an asparagus's texture is just sad. The stalk is rock hard and difficult to bite through, and even if you manage to snap it off, it could break a tooth. Then there's the crown — a completely opposite feel. You may as well stick some tiny bird feathers in your mouth because that's what the crown feels like. Yikes.

3. The smell

Asparagus will stink up the kitchen, and it'll remain there for centuries. It smells like urine, and what's even worse, is that it'll make your urine smell like asparagus. All around unpleasant, right?

Asparagus, you are the weakest link.

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
