5 Carrots With Charming Backstories
Barbara Cooks

Just as every person has a story, every vegetable has a story, and I truly believe this. Think I'm joking? Walk into any supermarket and hit up the produce aisle. You'll feel what I mean. There's an energy there, almost indescribable, that hints at something more for the vegetables on the shelf. I feel like vegetables are another one of humanity's great-unknowns, right up there with deep space and the depths of the ocean. I'm shocked that no one has looked into this yet, so I took it upon myself to observe a few carrots in the store and record my findings. Some were quite interesting and surprisingly similar to me and to people I have met before. Take a look at snapshots of carrot life, and see for yourself that there is a little bit of carrot in all of us.

1. Leisurely, Artistic Carrot

This carrot is having a nice, relaxing day off of work today. He is thinking about buying a calligraphy pen online.

2. Ambitious, Dreamer Carrot

This carrot is an aspiring model who spends her time watching "America's Next Top (Carrot) Model." She loves the earlier seasons, but will still watch the newer stuff, too.

3. Childhood BFF Carrots

Here is a pair of BFF carrots. They are bouncers at the club, and they are not going to let you in. (Sorry, only carrots allowed.)

4. Overprotective Carrot

This carrot is absolutely livid. His son went out with some friends tonight and isn't back yet even though it's after his curfew. This carrot will wait by the door just like this: leaning on the doorframe, legs crossed, disapproving expression.

5. Nervous Carrot

This carrot's name is Stephanie. She's in the middle, and this is her first sleepover. She had a great time, but now it is the morning and she is the first one awake. She has to pee so bad, but she's afraid to move because she might wake her friends up. Stephanie is very considerate. Stephanie contorts her body into this painful position so she doesn't end up wetting herself. We've all been there, Stephanie.

As you can see, every carrot has something going on in his or her life. It's easy to get caught up in your own life because you're busy and have a lot going on, but your personal business doesn't mean that your life is the only life or that other lives pause when your life doesn't overlap with theirs. Although it is easy to ignore others, please try to be conscious of other people. Respect other people. Respect other carrots. Make sure you get a lot of vitamin A.

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!

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.
