...and some weird facts to go along with them.

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've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
