What Food Is It? A Deep-Dive

Every food is simply one of six options. Accept it.

There is this long-famed claim that each food is either a soup, salad, or sandwich. Frustrating? Yes. But I'd like to break it down a little further and get more specific. I believe each food is not one of three. Instead, it is one of six. Without further ado, here are the only possible options for your food.

1. Sandwich

We'll start easy. Simply put, a sandwich is any food between two pieces of bread. Examples include sandwiches (of course), hamburgers, ice cream cookie sandwiches, ritz crackers, Oreo's, s'mores, and macrons.

2. Soup

Soup is also simple, just as any liquid or soft substance served in a bowl or cup, toppings optional. Soups, cereal, ice cream sundaes, smoothies, milkshakes, salsa and oatmeal all qualify under soup.

3. Salad

A salad is like a soup, but the dry ingredients incorporated are the true star that distances itself from our previous category. The dressing supports the dish rather than the other way around. Prime examples include popcorn, handfuls of candy, pasta with sauce, trail mix, mac and cheese, stir fry, and rice.

4. Taco

A taco includes any food that is encompassed on three sides by an unbreaking piece of bread, rather than two distinct parts. Hot dogs, soup in a bread bowl, the now-famed salmon rice when it's scooped into seaweed, stuffed peppers, potato skins, and sub sandwiches are all, in fact, tacos.

5. Ravioli

A ravioli is any food that is fully encompassed by another piece of food. Notable mentions include a wrap, a Reese's cup, a Pop-Tart, egg rolls, pies, and burritos - Accept it!!!

6. Toast

Toast is anything open-faced and unenclosed that exists without being tossed together, and it often has toppings on top, like butter on toast. Cupcakes, pizza, meat with seasoning or sauce, baked potatoes, pancakes with syrup, donuts, and corn on the cob are perfect examples. If you're eating something without any seasoning or sauce at all, like an apple, per se, it is still toast, just simply plain.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
