10 Times We Are All Guilty Of Eating Even Though We Aren't Hungry

I think we all know a little bit about stress-eating.

10 Times We Are All Guilty Of Eating Even Though We Aren't Hungry
Caroline Keeter

I was watching "Family Feud" the other day when Steve Harvey told a family to "Name a time you eat when you aren't hungry". As a result, this article was created. I am not necessarily proud of all the times I eat when I'm not hungry but hey, we're all human.

1. In awkward situations.

When situations get awkward, food is always there to fill the silence and can even be a conversation starter.

2. When we're sad or lonely.

There is nothing more classic than a girl eating an entire Ben & Jerry's pint of ice cream after a breakup.

3. When we're angry.

Sometimes I work out when I'm mad...sometimes I eat instead.

4. When we're bored.

This has got to be one of my most frequent mistakes in life.

5. When we're anxious.

Nervous eating is most definitely a real thing. Mac and cheese is called comfort food for a reason.

6. When watching a movie.

Because eating popcorn while watching a movie just seems natural.

7. When people around us are eating.

Prime example: a friend asks you to go to dinner, but you just ate. You agree to go "just sit with them while they eat". Somehow, you find yourself ordering food alongside your friend.

8. When annoyed.

*rolls eyes* *eats food*

9. When we're stressed.

Anyone who has experienced finals season in college knows what stress-eating is all about.

10. When the food is just too good to resist.

Do you think Guy Fieri is actually hungry every time he tries a dish on "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives"? I doubt it.

What is the cure for boredom, loneliness, AND stress? Food. Always food.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
