Real Talk: I Have An Obsession With Oranges

I am sure you can all relate to this in some way, we all have that food that makes us feel happy and gitty inside.

Oranges make me feel happy. They give me energy when all I want to do is collapse on the floor and sleep.

Oranges have been an important part of my college experience. I have probably spent 56% of my dining dollars on oranges (and 20% of it on hummus, but that is for a different article.)

My favorite orange breed is the "Golden Nugget Mandarin" which is found in stores between March-July. I haven't had one since June; I went to India for a month and when I got back, they were gone. I am patiently waiting for March 2017.

Anyways, in honor of oranges and their greatness, here is a list of 20 reasons to try to explain my non-explainable love towards this delicious fruit.

  1. Marvels created a "captain citrus" superhero in 2014.
  2. Oranges have the most logical name. Fruits like kiwis and papayas are why kids drop out of school these days.
  3. Ant-man asked for orange slices in Captain America: Civil War because oranges are the best fruit to consume to recover being defeated (by finals).
  4. They are the sweetest and softest fruit in the world.
  5. Oranges help your brain focus: an orange a day will make sure the only "C" you get is the vitamin kind.
  6. You can juice them easily.
  7. There are so many ways to eat them. Try this method. It is brilliance.
  8. They smell as good as they taste.
  9. "Orange flavor" actually tastes like oranges... not cough syrup.
  10. Oranges are safe to feed to dogs.
  11. Oranges are one of the only fruits my dog, Google, will actually eat because they smell and taste good.
  12. Cold oranges on a summer day: all I need to say.
  13. They come in CUTE sizes (a.k.a cuties).
  14. Apparently, oranges are actually part of the berry family. They are just obese, plump berries.
  15. Vitamin C. Oranges have a lot of it.
  16. The highest demand of fruit per person in America is for oranges.
  17. The health benefits are real: clears your skin, rich in nutrients, decreases risk of cancer, lowers blood pressure, improves immunity, lowers cholesterol, protects the heart, high in fiber, good for your hair, benefits your eyes.
  18. They are scientifically proven to make people happy!!
  19. You don't need to use a knife. They are the finger food of fruit.
  20. Oranges are widely available EVERYWHERE. Don't expect to walk into Whole Foods and find some cut up guava... because I can tell you right now, they won't have that.

Orange you glad oranges are the best fruit ever.

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.
