8 Situations Vegetarians Face, As Told By Gilmore Girls

I have been a vegetarian for the past five and a half years of my life. I have spent that time responding to countless questions and looks meat eaters have sent my direction. The only thing I've been doing longer? Watching Gilmore Girls.

My love for them began back in the mid-2000s when I stumbled upon their show. Since then my life has been filled with reruns and late nights. I feel as by now they know me just as well as I know them. With that being said, who better than these lovely women to portray my life on the daily as a vegetarian?

Here are the top 10 situations I face as a vegetarian and the responses I have to them.

1. That initial look people give me when they find out that I am a vegetarian

That gasp is only to be followed by an, "Are you really?"

My simple response:

I give that one word answer because I know there are going to be more questions to come.


2. When they ask, "So you only eat salads?" and they are being serious. My response . . .

Sometimes I just don't know.

My Second Response:

When I make it through the list of foods I can eat. Pastas, eggs, breads, anything not containing meat . . .

You can't forget pie!


3. When they mention how unhealthy it is to not eat meat

Oh, really? Maybe you should read up on your nutrition facts.


4. When someone knows what a vegetarian is without me having to explain it to them and they don't ask me any weird questions about my lifestyle

Seriously though, these individuals are the real MVP's.


5. That look everyone gives me at the table when they are eating meat in front of me

Don't give me that look, I'm totally fine with it! Believe it or not, I've seen a burger or two in my day. I don't expect everyone to become a vegetarian when they are around me.


6. When I am eating and someone shoves meat at my face

I have made the decision to be a vegetarian for a reason I consider to be very important and sentimental. With that being said, please do not shove a piece of meat at my face. I do not consider that gesture to be "funny."


7. When I go somewhere and there are absolutely no vegetarian options

Do they really have to add bacon to EVERYTHING? Even the ice cream shakes?


8. When my friend offers to order the veggie pizza so that we can share

I love you. I love you. I love you.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
