To Anyone Who Has Ever Told Me To Eat A Cheeseburger

Stop and no thanks!

To Anyone Who Has Ever Told Me To Eat A Cheeseburger
Relatably

Way too often, people look at others who may appear to be very thin or even just smaller than they are and tell them that they can fix themselves by simply eating a cheeseburger. Well here's what I have to say to that; stop and no thanks, I'd rather have something good for my body. You don't even realize what you're telling me and so many others by pushing this seemingly innocent food item in our faces. So stick around because I'm about to tell you what you're actually saying when you tell me to "eat a cheeseburger."

By telling me to eat a cheeseburger, you're implying that I'm freakishly skinny. Well I have news for you. My doctor, who is much more qualified than you commoner, gives me scientific proof showing that I am a healthy weight and size so pipe down. I'm not starving and in need of edible substance. I'm good. Also, say I keep eating these cheeseburgers. They're not the best food to be putting into your body. If I'm going to fuel my body, I want it to be with whole foods and things that will leave me feeling good and not lethargic. Eating a cheeseburger won't make me healthier in any sane person's standard.

Also, I'm not a farm animal that needs to be fattened up so I can be put up for resale. No one will benefit from my fattening so why does it even matter? My size should be no one's business but my own. Don't even think for a second that I'm going to take the advice from a random person because you don't like how small I am. Get over it and walk away.

Do you think I'm unaware of the size of my body? That's pretty rude if you find it okay to walk up to someone who you may not even know and basically be like "Hey, I don't know you but you're really skinny. Did you know that? Well you should eat something." I'm completely in tune with my body and aware of the changes it goes through. I pay attention to what goes in it and what comes out. I don't need some random know-it-all to tell me how I should be treating my body. Especially when you are dead wrong.

I'm not anorexic, I'm not deathly thin. I'm just a girl who is mindful to what ingredients she puts in her body and exercises the way a girl my age should. I am a healthy weight with an average body fat content. My body is a work in progress that is improving every time I make a wise decision regarding what I eat. You trying to dictate what I eat goes against that progress. I would greatly appreciate it if you stepped back. Next time you try and push a burger into my face, I'm going to tell you where you can shove it.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
