Being A Picky Eater Is What Makes Me, Me!

Being A Picky Eater Is What Makes Me, Me!

Honestly, I will forever be a kid at heart. I mean that with everything I do, but I mean that especially when it comes to my taste in food. I have no idea what it is, but I have always been a picky eater that could live my entire life eating off of a kids menu.

My favorite foods consist of pizza, french fries, steak, basic salads, chicken fingers (my all time favorite), bread, pasta, chinese food and definitely more that I just can't think of. Oh, I also have the largest sweet tooth in the world. I could and do eat candy every day and I am always confused as to how I don't have a cavity. I even said that to my dentist!

Wow okay it really sounds like I am 6 years old at this point. I have no shame! I have always been so picky when it comes to food and my friends and family always make fun of me for it. I mean, my little cousins are eating lobster and fish and I will be sitting next to them eating pasta and fries. I always play along with the jokes, though. I find it funny and love that one of my all time favorite foods is chicken fingers!

The beginning of college was pretty rough for me because I would be eating the most unhealthy foods every single day. I had the option to eat vegetables and other healthy things, but I just chose not to. However, I have definitely opened myself up more to new foods, and I am always so proud of myself when I try new foods!

I am one of those people who will order a salad, and ask for half of it to be taken off. Or, I will order the meal how it is and then I take it off myself. It is always so amusing to my friends (not my mom though, haha). However, what is pretty weird to me is that some of the things I eat, other people say to me, "how do you eat that". For example, I love beets, and I love broccoli. I don't think I have met one person who has liked beets before. I also love ketchup with rice and eggs. But.. I don't like sushi.. Or many other foods. It is very strange, but perfectly describes the life of a picky eater!

Ok ok, I do love all food and I have definitely been opening up my palate now that I am in college, but deep down, my favorites will always be the most simple, yet the most amazing kinds of food. I definitely see myself being 60 years old and still ordering chicken fingers at a restaurant. I'm perfectly okay with that though.. Because first of all, they are just so damn good! And second of all, it is what makes me, me!

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
