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.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
