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.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
