The Life Of An Avid Snacker

I love food. I really do. But when it comes to meals, I don’t eat very much in one sitting. I’ve never been one for big breakfasts, fancy lunches or large dinners with multiple courses. My breakfast is satisfying if it's a cup of coffee and maybe a yogurt if I’m feeling extra hungry. And this cycle continues every hour or 2 where I feel the need to eat. People think I’m weird but I know there have to be other people out there that spend their days snacking...am I right? Well, here’s some thoughts I have as an avid snacker.

6 a.m. Where’s the coffee? I can’t even think about food before I smell the coffee brewing.


6:45 a.m. chug said cup of coffee and make another cup to go.

7 a.m. *running out the door - okay kinda hungry, I’ll grab that muffin.

8 a.m. hmm I could go for a yogurt now that I’m settled at work.

This counts as a full breakfast now.


Lol, jk. I’ll be ready for some more carbs in a sec.

10:30 a.m I need a granola bar.

Yep, there’s what’s considered a decent breakfast over the course of a few hours.

12 p.m. Lunchtime? OMG. I’m starved. Where’s my sandwich?


But how am I so hungry? I feel like all I’ve done is eat this morning.

1:30 p.m. *Sitting in class minding my own business when my stomach makes the sound of a dying whale*.


Buy why? This makes no sense. It’s like I’m a bottomless pit.

3 p.m. Work time-snack-time...What's in the snack drawer?

Ohh goldfish, pretzels, cookies, popcorn. We should really invest in some fruits.

One time we made a pan of Rice Krispie treats just for a homework snack.

7 p.m. And then what did I have for dinner? Some sushi from Fred Meyer and more rice crispy treats.

Wash it down with wine and it’s a well-balanced meal.

11:30 p.m. A bowl of cereal sounds nice…

My tummy is tellin' me yes, but my mind is tellin' me no…Probably going to eat it, though.


It may be weird but I don’t think there is anything wrong with snacking all day long instead of neat concise meals at specific times during the day. While my snack choices could be better, I’m not concerned right now about it. Because what can I say? 12 little meals is waaay better than 3 big ones.

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.
