If one food had to represent our generation, it would probably be avocado toast. The epitome of millennial cuisine, it is a healthy snack that is loaded with good fats, but some people like to make fun of the millennial craze. Well, who cares because I love avocados. After watching countless Refinery29 week log food experiments, I decided to try one of my own. Here are my thoughts as my week on the avocado toast diet unfolded.

Day 1:

Brunch: Wheat toast, avocado, and a fried egg.

Dinner: Wheat toast, avocado, salt, and pepper.

Thoughts: Day one was pretty easy. The toast left me feeling full and energized all day long. I did realize pretty early on that if I didn't buy more adventurous topping for my toast, I'd be left disappointed. (Also, yes my plates are "millennial pink."

Day 2:

Brunch: Wheat toast, avocado, fried egg.

Dinner: Tuscan bread, avocado, caramelized onions, balsamic vinegar, and goat cheese.

Thoughts: Again, my late breakfast left me feeling full well into the evening. The toast I had for dinner was probably my favorite, and I repeated it throughout the week.

Day 3:

Breakfast: Wheat toast, avocado, salt, and pepper.

Lunch: Tuscan bread, prosciutto, diced tomatoes and avocados tossed in olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and goat cheese. (And of course, a La Croix to wash it down.)

Dinner: Tuscan bread, prosciutto, avocado, caramelized onions, balsamic vinegar, and goat cheese.

Thoughts: I thought Monday was going to kick my butt, but I was feeling bad and boujee after my avocado toast and La Croix combo. I had no plans to quit my challenge.

Day 4:

Breakfast: Oops... I skipped breakfast.

Lunch: Tuscan bread, prosciutto, avocado, and goat cheese.

Dinner: Ok, I cheated and had waffles.

Thoughts: Every diet needs a cheat day and this was mine. It's easy to burn out when you're eating the same thing for every meal, so it's good to mix things up. Also, waffles are amazing.

Day 5:

Breakfast: Wheat toast, avocado, and balsamic vinegar.

Lunch: Tuscan bread, prosciutto, avocado, balsamic, and goat cheese.

Dinner: Tuscan bread, avocado, salt and pepper.

Thoughts. Day five was leaving me feeling avocado toasted out. I pushed on though and finished my day with the sad toast pictured above. It still tasted pretty delicious.

Day 6:

Breakfast: I skipped again because I am a trashcan.

Lunch: I stayed an hour late at work and stopped at Whole Foods for a salad on the way home.

Dinner: Toast for me and a friend. Toppings included prosciutto, tomatoes, onions, and goat cheese.

Thoughts: I was burned out by this point, but I gained a new love for the toast when I shared it with my best friend. It's amazing what a little encouragement can do. Also, only eating avocado toast isn't very practical if you have to eat out.

Day 7:

Breakfast: I ran out of avocados so this was my last toast of the week. I kept it simple with wheat toast, avocado, and salt and pepper.

Final Thoughts:

I have more will power than I thought. I only cheated on my "diet" twice! The toast also left me feeling full and energized and took away a lot of temptation to consume large amounts of junk food. While eating avocado toast for every meal is a little excessive, I definitely will be working it into my weekly meals. I'm a millennial and I freaking love avocado toast!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
