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!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
