7 Things You Only Know If You Were Raised By A Health Freak

In This Article:

This list is kind of like an introduction to my childhood and present life. Although some of my mother's health habits are a little yucky, they have only been for the best.

1. Oreos? Try again.

After an exhausting day of middle school this is what me and my siblings would have to come home to. This was definitely okay in my mom's book.

2. Friends would always be disappointed after raiding your kitchen pantry.

Friend: "Why don't you ever have anything that isn't disgusting?"

I honestly couldn't tell you.

3. Your house smells like grilled chicken/healthy food every single day.

My friends used to tell me constantly that my clothes even smelt like chicken.

4. Everything is whole wheat.

It's fine, I'm fine. My taste buds are already desensitized.

5. Tofu all the time but not even vegetarian or vegan.

Don't get me wrong I have nothing against tofu. It's just.....uhh.

6. 100-calorie snacks only.

100 calorie Cheetos and Doritos? Don't even get me started. They're just wannabe snacks.

7. You eat the same three things for dinner every day.

How long can a person go eating only grilled chicken, salad, or soup for dinner everyday? Enough is enough.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
