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.

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?

sisters

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.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
