FUN FACT: You are probably lactose intolerant.

Considering that approximately 65% of the world's human population suffers from a lactase deficiency after infancy, the odds are not in your favor. As we grow older, we lose a lot of the lactase enzymes that were necessary for nourishing our bodies as a child.

If you're still in denial, that's okay. Just remember the next time you eat a Dairy Queen Blizzard and reap some less-than-pleasant symptoms...it's the lactose intolerance devil inside of you.

As good old Teddy Rosevelt once said, “nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty… I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life." AMEN, Teddy.

Sometimes, the pain is worth the ice cream and queso. Here are 7 signs you're lactose intolerant, but honestly don't care enough to give up dairy.

1. "Are you sure you can you eat that, [insert name here?]


The answer is no, but I'm going to eat it anyway.

2. Ordering food you DEFINITELY should not be ordering.


Because sometimes, it's WORTH THE CHEESE FRIES.

3. Being endlessly taunted by your friends for being unable to consume dairy products.


Natural selection is coming for us.

4. Going to ice cream with your friends, because YOLO.


Don't think about the consequences don't think about the consequences don't think about the consequences don't think about the consequences don't think about the consequences don't think about the consequences don't think about the consequences.

5. REGRET.


When your stomach starts doing.........the thing - you know it's all over for you.

6. Swearing to never let the evil spirits that are dairy products come near you ever again.


This happens every time, but this time is different!!!

7. But hey, you'll never cry over spilt milk.


How punny.

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.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time.

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.
