Don't Neglect The 99-Cent Tacos

Not every meal can be steak and rock lobster.

I've wrote a bunch about how our culture has rapidly changed, from when even I was a child (and I was born in 95!). I'm really not trying to sound like some grumpy old man at the park playing chess but, our culture, thanks to different beliefs and tons of innovations and advancements in technology, has made leaps and bounds in many directions that we could have never for saw.

And EVERYONE has their personal opinions/beliefs/etc. of how far we strayed, what we are doing wrong, and the like. I'm no different. But today, with all that I just said, I want to ask you a serious question:

Do you like Jack in the Box Tacos?

I'm very happily married, so please don't misunderstand the example that I'm about to use. If I wasn't married, and I decided to use a dating app (such as Tinder or something), in my bio would be a mandatory agreement that the girl I was looking for HAD to love Tacos from Jack in the Box. Thankfully, I've converted my wife to the true religion of greasy, fast food Tacos from an American-style restaurant?

If you don't know what I'm talking about (I'm weeping for you currently), let me try to explain: 2, brown and greased soaked shells, literally dripping with liquid (I have no idea what...), stuffed with brownish-green lettuce, a SLICE of American cheese, Taco sauce, and meat (If... we can call it that?). Literally, it's like processed, slimy, meat. I'm not lying. And neither is Jack in the Box. They are totally okay with it.

But, you see, maybe that's how we need to be in life? Stay with me please, even those of you who are physically repulsed. People have this sense of having to "put on a face" for other people (the funny thing is most of the people that we have to look good for, we don't even like personally!). We have to look all pristine and pretty. Don't ever show that you are imperfect or aren't put all together. How many of you clean up your house before company comes over? Okay, I totally get that. But some people take it way too far and have to make it look like not a single soul lives there. Do you see what I'm saying?

At times, it's okay to be a 99 cent Taco. Sometimes, it's okay to eat a 99 cent Taco. People can take you or leave you; there doesn't have to be any faking. So, go ahead and let your grease shine for all to see.

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right? I mean I went through four years of tough classes and serious self-searching (and crying). What I found overall was Senioritis sneaking up on me.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.
