Confessions Of A Peanut Butter Enthusiast

If someone tries to tell you that you eat too much peanut butter, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Confessions Of A Peanut Butter Enthusiast

For me, a broke college student, food falls into two categories: Peanut butter and food to pair with peanut butter. Peanut butter doesn't need another food to accompany it, but any foods that you do put with peanut butter just serves as a way to get the it into your mouth quicker!

Here are seven confessions of a peanut butter addict.

1. Your friendships are hinged on whether they like smooth or crunchy.

I only associate myself with 'smooth' people. I could spend a lifetime debating which one is better and i have a long list of reasons as to why smooth is better. One example, less chewing and more enjoying. What is better than that?!

2. Ants on a log was one of my fondest childhood memories.

Peanut butter was the only food that stayed my favorite into adulthood. Peanut butter sandwiches are mostly known as a childhood staple but, it's a cheap, convenient and delicious meal for in between classes or late nights in the library.

3. I know weird facts about peanut butter.

For example, It takes about 540 peanuts to make one jar of peanut butter. John Harvey Kellogg was the first person to patent a peanut butter spread in 1860.

4. When your school is a peanut-free environment.

So you have to eat your Reese's Peanut Butter Cups in secret.

5.You use the 'good fats and protein' thing as an excuse for why you eat it so much.

Peanuts are also high in folate which can prevent heart disease, thiamin which helps the body convert carbs into energy, and riboflavin which helps the body metabolize fat, carbs, and proteins. Bam! I just love it because it's the perfect combination between sweet and savory. Talk about a healthy cravings kicker!

6. Some non-edible uses for peanut butter include:

Getting gum out of your hair or your shoe, sticker removal, and stopping hiccups. Scientists say that by concentrating on getting the peanut butter off of the roof of your mouth it should return your breathing to normal. I also read that peanut butter is a good leather conditioner. I've never tried this one simply because i like to savor my peanut butter for eating!

7. You incorporate peanut butter into a lot of your meals.

Breakfast: Cheerios, yogurt, and peanut butter

Lunch: Peanut butter and banana sandwich

Dinner: Chicken with peanut sauce

Dessert: Peanut butter pie


Peanut butter is a lifestyle.

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.
