If The Men I've Dated Were Desserts

Dehumanizing... or delicious?

As a 19-year-old woman, all you can hope for in the dating world is to learn from your experiences. At the end of the day though, all we girls really think about is dessert. Here is a list of the men I've dated, if they were, in fact, desserts.

The High School One: A Sugar Cookie

Pretty good for a long time, but nothing too exciting. Ultimately ended up being poisonous to me after I became gluten-intolerant. Who knew that this was the reason for my eternal stomach aches? Missed having sugar cookies for a while, but became much happier after not too long when a few of the primary ingredients were replaced.

The One Who Stole My Sock On Halloweekend: Candy Corn

Here's the thing about candy corn—no matter how many times you decide it's terrible, you still give it a chance when it's sitting out at a party. Regardless, candy corn will always leave you feeling disgusted with yourself and him. If you have candy corn, you should probably just throw it away; it's not nice. With its processed nature and unhealthy chemicals, candy corn never had your best interests in mind, anyway.

The Musician/Athlete/Businessman One: Cheesecake

Very good looking. Well rounded and sometimes a little wild. Has a lot of charm. Cheesecake would be okay if you can find one closer to your age.

The Hipster One: A Zucchini Brownie

A mature and unique dessert. Not out to corrupt you in any way. Had friend approval. Probably could've been a fairly healthy choice, but I just didn't feel that passionately about Zucchini.

The British One: English Toffee Pudding

Potentially a very fun and promising choice. I certainly wouldn't have minded showing off English toffee pudding. Nice to look at, even nicer to listen to. A little too slow-moving unfortunately.

The Intellectual One: A Lemon Tart

Also an incredibly good looking dessert. Mom approved. Not too sweet and not too sour; good at bantering. Perhaps a bit methodical, but is both fun and responsible. Sort of seems like a new and improved version of the sugar cookie at first, just with a much sharper taste (in clothes, cars, and colleges). Good friends cheer you on when you have a lemon tart. Not boring, but not dangerous.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
