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!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.
