Dairy Free Life.... Is It So Bad?

Ever Wondered What No Dairy In Your Life Would Be Like?

Dairy Free Life.... Is It So Bad?
Be My Shopper

Last semester I used to eat all the ice cream, cheese, and cereal with milk that I wanted. Maybe I ate too much of it because this semester did not turn out how I wanted it too. Here is my version of being lactose-intolerant.



Coming into my freshman year of college, I did gain the freshman 8 (not 15), from all the late night Dominos orders, binge watching Netflix shows and eating tubs of ice cream because why not. Some things that I have learned from becoming lactose-intolerant.....

1. Acne


I have noticed I do not have as much acne on my face as I used to and my skin has become much healthier!

2.Lactaid Pills

These things suck. Honestly, unless you're in the mood for a big ice cream sundae and a lava cake then it is not worth having dairy (for those of you who don't know these pills won't let you go to the bathroom).

3. Bloating


You definitely don't feel bloated all the time. I feel as if I am also not always hungry.

4. Milk


No more of that yummy 2 percent or any of that pure milk. Stick to soy, almond and obviously Lactaid free!

5. Pizza


Going to be a hard life not having that delicious pizza pie at 2 a.m....

6. Strong bones


The reason why mothers give their children milk when they're younger is to give them strong bones... unfortunately, that will not be the case anymore


If anyone is feeling as much pain as I am... don't worry us dairy free people will stay close together!

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
