If you are or ever have been a picky eater you know how to navigate the menu to find something you can eat. You know your favorite foods and dishes, the ones that can do you no wrong and are always good. Additionally, you also know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the foods and dishes you'll avoid at all costs. You've dealt with the difficulties of trying new foods and going to restaurants that are outside of your comfort zone. These are the things you know to be very true if you've ever categorized yourself as a picky eater.

1. Your order is always complicated

It always takes time to figure out the dishes you like. Even after choosing a dish on the menu, there are most likely one or more things you don't want. Mayo, aioli, tomatoes, onions, pickles, and the list goes on.

2. Anything called "the Classic" describes your food choices

The classic anything tends to be simple and easy. I've been to restaurants where a simple cheese pizza was called "The Classic". Classic pizza, sandwich, and pasta options are the best.

3. Your choices at a restaurant are always limited

You have foods and dishes you know you will like anywhere. But because you're picky, there aren't that many options that you'll like. You're lucky if a menu has more than two things you would order. Make sure to pick a dish you will like!

4. You have your go to, safe orders at every resturant

Giphy

You know the restaurants that you love because they have dishes that cater to your pickiness. You know you can always find something you'll like at these restaurants and you are so thankful for them.

5. You always feel bad asking for so many changes

Giphy

Because most of your orders become complicated with lots of changes, you feel bad for making your order so difficult. You always feel bad for your order being too long and confusing.

6. Its hard to find a place to agree on when deciding where to eat

Giphy

You know the places that will have dishes you know you will like, which makes trying new places really scary. You have no clue what their menu will be like. This makes it difficult to decide on a place everyone would like.

7. Your friends start to know your orders because you always get the same thing

Giphy

Because you have your go-to orders which you get all the time, your friends start to catch on and always can guess what you will order. Are they surprised when you order the same thing all the time? Nope!

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
