Honestly, Brunch Is Ridiculous, Just Leave It To Breakfast And Lunch

Breakfast is breakfast and lunch is lunch. They are not the same thing.

Honestly, Brunch Is Ridiculous, Just Leave It To Breakfast And Lunch

Brunch is a time of mid-morning around 10-11 where breakfast and lunch foods are served together. It is for the person that sleeps in late or wants to spend money on a glorified breakfast or lunch depending on if it's 10 or 11. In my book, there have always been three set meals. You eat eggs, french toast, pancakes, or biscuit-type foods. For lunch, foods are soups, salads, sandwiches. Lunch starts at 11 because that's when restaurants open for lunch. These places don't serve breakfast then.

Brunch is essentially an expensive, glorified breakfast or lunch.

I have only ever been to an official brunch one time. It was at this fancy resort in Utah on New Year's day. The food that was served was food beyond my pallet or didn't mix well. I don't find eating an omelet with bacon and potatoes to go well with roasted cornish hens and wild game chili. The serve the extremes fo super expensive fancy lunch foods with simple breakfast dishes.

If you have ever considered what comes to mind first when you think of breakfast most of them are sweet. These foods are just not made to eat with one another. Breakfast and lunch should be sperate as they are meant to be.

Brunch is often also an excuse to serve some form of alcohol for breakfast. Like what happened to drink at 5 o clock at night, not 10 o clock in the morning? What good does it do for you to start drinking that early? That's just an extra level of fancy.

Breakfast and lunch are also different in the heaviness of food. By this, I mean that breakfast is made to be protein-rich foods that hold you over until lunchtime. I feel it is unnatural for you to eat lunch and breakfast together for the purpose to hold you over until dinner at around 6. Breakfast and dinner are the largest meals of the day and lunch is meant to be a carryover meal. By combining these two meals you are confusing your body and will ultimately lead to me snacking.

To sum it up brunch is essentially useless and confusing. It doesn't make sense and it costs more money. I'll just leave it at breakfast as breakfast and lunch as lunch.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
