Going out to eat can be a fun experience, but it can also be stressful at times, especially if you're a picky eater. Even worse than that is when you're a picky eater and have to go out to a new restaurant because well, menus are rather terrifying at times.

Here are the 11 scariest menus to read if you're a picky eater.

1. The Menu In A Foreign Language

The pictures really aren't helpful if I don't know what that item consists of. Is it meat? Is it cheese? Who really knows?

2. The Small Menu

So, you're telling me I have to get a burger if we go here? But what if I don't eat meat?

3. The New, Long Menu

Not only is this menu super long, I've also never seen it before, which means I may need 30 minutes just to read the menu and settle on pizza anyway because everything else is foreign, I don't know what it is or can't pronounce it

4. ANY New Menu... At All

This could be a great thing or a really bad thing, but, nonetheless, a new menu is scary because you could either love everything or start counting the hours until you get to eat again.

5. The 'Not A Menu' Menu

OK, I get it, it's not a real menu, but it's equally as terrifying. What if the signs are wrong and I put something on my plate that I don't like, and it touches all of the stuff I do like and poisons it permanently? Or what if it takes me 30 minutes just to find the two things I actually want: macaroni and cheese and pizza.

6. The Wedding Menu

There aren't any choices on wedding menus. Maybe, they'll have a vegetarian option, but that may be just as unappetizing as the non-vegetarian option. Guess who is going through the McDonald's drive-thru after this?

7. The Dessert Menu

Desserts have such fancy names, most of the time I don't actually know if I like it. The pictures, admittedly, do look good — even to picky eaters — but all we really want is a nice, traditional scoop of ice cream.

8. The Menu With Only One Thing You Like

In theory, this sounds great because you have a go-to. You don't have to read the menu or go through the struggle of deciding what to eat. But, it's also the worst menu ever because what if you go, and they're out of what you want? Time to fill up on water, I guess...

9. The Menu With No Descriptions

OK, yes, I know what a grilled cheese is, but how am I supposed to know what type of cheese they are using? What are my bread options? I need answers here, people! You could potentially wreck my go-to dish!

10. Pizza Menus

At first glance, this may seem off because pizza is one of the go-to foods for most picky eaters in the world. But, they always hide our normal pizzas with simple toppings like cheese and pepperoni with these so-called "gourmet" pizzas. It gives us a brief second of panic thinking that even our staple dish is no longer edible — until we find the normal pizza section, that is.

11. The Healthy Menu

I like eating healthy — I really do. What I don't like, though, is not knowing what the healthy or organic version of my favorite food is going to taste like. What if that healthy substitute completely wrecks the taste, and I end up feeling like I'm eating cardboard?

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
