Things People Say To Vegetarians.

1. So, what do you eat?So. Much. Food. The vegetarian options out there are almost endless.

2. Where do you get your protein from?I've gotten this question so may times I am starting to wonder if people know what protein even is. Or at the very least they overestimate the amount of protein in meat and underestimate the amount in vegetables.

3. Don’t you miss meat?I'm sure this isn't true for all vegetarians, but the thought of eating meat makes me feel sick. Also, most people who choose to give up probably do enjoy the last of meat-most people do. But their will and moral obligations are simply stronger than their taste buds.

4. But do you eat fish? Fish isn’t meat.I have honestly never understood this argument...A fish is a living animal yes? So the flesh of that once living thing you consumed is meat. Simple.

5. So you don’t eat bacon??? How sad.I bet this little guy doesn't think that's so sad.

6. Oh , I could never do that.You can, you just don't want to. It's okay to admit that.

7. You know we’re meant to eat meat right?You know I'm partially doing this for my own health right?

8. What if you trapped on a deserted island, would you eat meat then?In that crazy hypothetical situation would I eat meat? Yeah, probably. But the meat in that situation wouldn't have been the result of mass torture and murder. Just saying.

9. Is it because you want to lose weight ?Nope, just a perk.

10. You know you’re just killing plants right. Yet another one i will never understand. Yes, I understand are living things. But do they have brains? Maybe hearts? Do they think, have feelings, families, communities, ect? And this argument is invalid because I'm sure just one cow (or your meat) eats/"kills" more plants in one day than I consume in a week. So whose the "plant killer" now?

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
