We all know that L.A. is supposedly a city obsessed with health, a city with a juice bar on every corner and one Soul Cycle per neighborhood. At USC, however, you wouldn’t be able to tell you live in the same city as Gwyneth Paltrow. At USC, we are surrounded on all sides by Jack in the Box, McDonald's, Panda Express, Taco Bell, Five Guys, Chick-fil-A, Subway, and Carl’s Jr., just to name a few. And they’re all on one street! Might as well rename Figueroa "Fat-ueroa," the boulevard of broken scales. It can be hard to eat healthy and stay healthy, especially when here you consider Chipotle to be nutritious and the only juice bar at USC is mediocre at best (sorry, Nekter!). The gang of "It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia" perfectly describes the constant dilemma of eating in college, between wanting to be healthy and wanting to indulge.

1. When you come up with any excuse you can to eat Panda Express

The Cream Cheese Rangoons are only 190 calories? So healthy!

2. And use any excuse you can to not eat an apple

How can I know if Seeds fruit is organic??

3. When you finally go out to a nice restaurant away from campus and don’t know what to do with yourself


4. When you cheat on your diet and do some things you’re not proud of

5. When your friend tells you about a weird new food trend and you’re skeptical if it actually works

6. When you decide to give up that one unhealthy food you love

7. Your reaction when someone questions your eating habits

Why do you care if I eat my entire Blaze pizza in less than 10 minutes?

8. When people try to get you to eat new cuisines

No, for the last time I don’t want to try kimchi.

9. When you go to a new exercise class and actually like it

"Guys, I’m like actually really into Pilates now."

10. When CVS is out of Tostitos Hint of Lime chips

11. When you run out of snacks in your room and you’re too lazy to buy more

12. When the dining hall doesn’t satisfy your culinary needs so you have to think creatively

Face it, you can only handle so much EVK.

13. When you go on a hike for the first time this semester

14. Trying to relate to vegans

15. When you get nervous about eating dinner two hours before a party

16. When you want to bring your lunch to class but you’re not sure if the professor will notice and get mad

17. When you go home for the holidays and your parents start asking you about the freshman 15

18. When people act surprised when they see you at the gym

19. When people think they’re “too good” for 2 a.m. Domino's

(No one is too good for 2 a.m. Domino's.)

20. When the Postmates delivery fee is over $10

Why is life worth living if my delivery from Urth Caffé is $40?! It’s the only way I can eat healthy!

21. And finally, when you give up on trying to eat healthy and just accept how muscular you are

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
