8 Foods You Survive On As A Picky Eater

As a picky eater, I repeatedly eat the same foods, rarely trying anything new, and I’m perfectly content.

If you’re a picky eater, there’s a pretty good chance you really don’t try a lot of new foods. Because of that, you most likely survive on the same foods and eat them time and time again. Some may think that’s boring, but they just don’t understand the life of a picky eater. As a picky eater, I repeatedly eat the same foods, rarely trying anything new, and I’m perfectly content. Seriously, everyone — you get used to it, and it really doesn’t bother you as much.

My absolute favorite meal is goulash.

Some may not like this because of the texture of hamburger, noodles and sauce all mixed together, but if you can get past that, it’s a really filling and yummy meal.

One thing I’ll always eat is chicken.

It's great because you can eat it on its own or pair it with other things you like. Expert tip: if you like chicken, try mixing it with rice and corn. You can thank me later.

A basic thing, like toast, is pretty much a staple piece for a picky eater.

You can’t go wrong there.

Mashed potatoes are a hit with many picky eaters.

It’s very basic, there is only one texture throughout the dish, and the dish is very bland. I think we can all agree that mixing too many flavors can be a huge fail while serving picky eaters.

A basic soup, like tomato, will usually be a hit because of its smooth texture and basic taste.

Maybe add some grilled cheese in there as well? If your picky eater is feeling a little daring they might like chicken noodle — but don’t push it.

Rice is another one like potatoes.

It's very bland and can be eaten alone or with other things for a full and filling meal

On a healthier note, an apple can be another good choice for a picky eater, even though that couldn't be your full meal.

It can be sweet, or a little sour, depending on the type you get, so your picky eater can get whichever they like most. Total score!

Not a meal on its own, but peanut butter is another thing that’s pretty good for the picky eater.

You can pick whether you want it creamy or chunky, and it goes with a lot of other things common for picky eaters to have. Peanut butter toast or apples with peanut butter, anyone?!

From one picky eater to another, trust me, I understand the struggle of finding foods you like. Hopefully, you got a couple of ideas from this list and your mealtimes will go a little easier. Best of luck with your future meals.

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?

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.
