10 Fruits You Should Be Eating
Rebel Dietitian

Why hello everyone! Here is my top ten list of fruits. It's a weird article, I know. But! It's never too late to learn some weird facts.

10. Bananas

Bananas are fantastic. Not only do they help with anxiety (eat them before you go on stage!), but they are also a phenomenal source of potassium. Plus, they are yellow! The happiest color.

9. Watermelon

Watermelon on a hot, summer day is maybe the most satisfying food. If you want to get really weird, you can drink the juice with a straw. Try it.

8. Apples

There is nothing better than going apple picking with your friends and family in autumn -- leaves crinkling under your feet, rotten apples all around. Biting into a fresh apple is such a good feeling. Plus, you can literally make anything out of apples - apple sauce, apple pie, kale and apple soup - you name it.

7. Oranges

They have vitamin C and fiber! What more can you possibly want? Also, if you peel an orange and light the little wick shape on the inside of the peel, it makes a candle. They're sweet, they're juicy, and they're orange. You can eat them after a soccer game, or just for a snack. But don't get the juice on your paper cuts! That burns.

6. Grapes

Red or Green? Grapes are pretty rad. They have cultural significance in Spain, in Judaism, in Italy... lots of significance. And they taste real good.

5. Nectarines

They're just so ... juicy. What more can you say about nectarines?

4. Strawberries

You can put these red fruits in anything. A bowl, a bowl with ice cream, a smoothie, and probably lots more. Have you ever seen a seedless strawberry? All I will say is that it's pretty weird.

3. Raspberries

Raspberries are definitely one of the best fruits out there. You can put them in smoothies, cereal, and even ice cream or frozen yogurt. Or just plain YOGURT! Phenomenal fruits they are.

2. Kiwis

One time we were at a carnival and this man was eating a kiwi with the skin on. Naturally, we asked: "Why are you eating it with the skin on!?" and he was so nonchalant about it. That's when it all started. Believe me. Eat them with the skin on. The skin is what makes the experience. Plus, it has most of the nutrients.

1. Pomegranates

OKAY - HANDS DOWN, pomegranates are the best fruits. But you really have to get the seeds yourself to have the full experience. Take a pomegranate, slice off the top, score the top, and then gently free the seeds from the fleshy fruit in a bowl of water. Then, strain the bowl of water, add a little sugar if you want, and enjoy!


Well, here you have it folks. Go eat some fruit. Especially pomegranates.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
