The Diary Of A Picky Eater

If it's not some sort of carb covered in cheese, I don't want it.

The Diary Of A Picky Eater

If you get anxiety by this sentence, "would you like to come over for dinner", you are in fact a picky eater. If there isn't a kids menu, you're screwed. If your friends pick a sushi restaurant for a night out, you tend to "be sick". So, picky eaters unite! No one quite understands like we do. Here are 10 struggles we face on a daily basis.

1. Having to check the menu of a restaurant online before you go there.

You know, just to make sure they have an adult grilled cheese, chicken tenders or if you're in desperate need... bread rolls.

2. Coming up with every excuse as to why you can't come over for dinner.

Lets face it, nothing is worse than having to forcefully feed yourself a fork full of vegetables and pretend to actually like it.

3. Feeling relieved when your date asks you out for pizza.

Its a win-win for both parties! You get to indulge on your favorite food and they get a cheap date!

4. Being forced to try foods on a daily basis.

Ugh don't they get it? I've already tried it and I hated it. Just because it's now grilled instead of steamed it will not taste any different. Please don't make me suffer once again.

5. Nice restaurants are your worst nightmare.

"Uhh...can I just have the lobster linguini...minus the lobster...and everything else included besides the linguini...?"

6. Bread is your best friend.

Bread rolls are always a safe bet.


7. You have three solid food choices you rotate between.

Because nothing is wrong with eating mac and cheese three days in a row.

8. Having to deal with the embarrassment of ordering off the kids menu.

"I'll have the chicken tenders with a side of fries and I would like to upgrade to the adult portion please."

9. Having to constantly explain your dietary restrictions.

" Well, I don't eat meat besides bacon and hotdogs. Oh and I'll eat potatoes if they are fried... Shall I continue?"

10. But in the end, you get to celebrate the little victories.

Mom, Mom!! I tried it and I like it!

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

16 Secrets Anthropology Majors Never Admit To

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
