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?

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.
