And I'm not mad about it.

Why Eggs Are The New Kale

Kale used to be the "it" food—not only could you make almost anything out of it, kale is also hella good for you. It's green, so its packed with antioxidants and other good things as well as being rich in fiber. It also has tons of vitamins, like Vitamin C, A, K, and B6. Kale is good in salads, as chips, sautéed, and massaged. Even Beyonce loves kale.

But kale should watch its back. Avocado stole the spotlight for awhile (with good reason), but it's clear that the new hip way to eat anything is to put an egg on it.

Not only are eggs delicious, they are also arguably just as healthy as the former food king and green leaf, kale. Eggs are high in protein and Vitamin D, B2, B6, and B12, and provide selenium. Eggs yolks have gotten a bad rap for their cholesterol, but as long as you stick to one egg a day, you are in the clear.

Eggs are are all over foodies Instagram's and there is even a yolk porn hashtag.

Eggs are very versatile—they can be eaten with any meal, at any time of day.

Eggs can be for breakfast.

Eggs can go on toast.

They can go on noodles.

Or soup.

Put an egg on a pizza, trust me, you won't be disappointed.

Up your Taco Tuesday game with brunch style tacos with eggs.

You can put an egg on top of almost any vegetable and make it great.

You can even put an egg on top of kale.


You really can't go wrong. So head out to your local farmers market or food co-op, get yourself a dozen eggs, and get crackin'.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
