5 Foods I Didn’t Know I Liked Until I Was 20

Have you ever encountered a food that you were too scared to try, or perhaps a food that you swore never to have again? If so, you are not alone.

1. Guacamole
Let's be honest; it's green, and it freaks me out, okay? My uncle made me try it at Barrio and ever since, it's my everyday snack (oops...I am eating it as I write this).
2. Oranges
Okay, this one is annoying because I was TOLD I didn't like oranges by my mom (she just didn't want me to eat them because they were HER favorite) but it is to the point where for my birthday my grandma buys me oranges...
3. Greek Yogurt
Texture is totally a thing for me, and I could never eat yogurt that wasn't the Danimals smoothies (I know I'm like 5 years old) but working at a smoothie shop for a few years has made me broaden my yogurt choices, and now I'm a fan of eating greek yogurt for breakfast.
4. Tomatoes
When I was really young, my great grandma had a garden, and she had me try one of her tomatoes (my first tomato ever). It was rotten inside, and I bit into it, so you probably see why I never wanted to think about them again, BUT people keep telling me to man up so if I chop them up and add them to my food I can finally eat them!
5. Onions
These just mess up my stomach but hey--they flavor to food in the best way, so I put up with it.

Eating new foods totally counts towards growing up, right?

Going to the gym and working out on a daily basis (with breaks once in awhile) has been a great way for me to feel good about myself. It is 100% more than just looking good. Especially after starting college and having the stress and anxiety of tests, assignments, and just figuring out my future, the gym at my school has definitely been a place of relief for me and I have numerous reasons of why everyone should push themselves to get to the gym when they can.

Oh college, lovely, lovely college. A four-year time span that is filled with many highs and many lows. Between procrastinating on an essay that is due at midnight to getting your first library card (if you know what I mean), college is a time that you should not take for granted, yet it is also a time where you feel like your entire world is falling apart. It is a time where one day you can feel like you are on top of the world and then the next day you are 500 feet below the ground surface.
