Hey all, I’m sitting in front of my peanut butter/tortilla dinner crying. I’ve been up since 4 am, I’m grumpy, I feel dissociative and alone, I’m living the dream of unrequited love, and a pissy soccer mom flipped me off after she honked at me today. This is just your friendly reminder that I love you and growing up sucks, don’t do it kiddos.

Living Alone and Cooking for One (Vegetarian)

I’m living on my own for the first time and I’ve been trying to figure out how to cook for myself healthily and easily. Obviously this post won’t be the greatest but it’s a start if you’re facing the same dilemmas as me right now. 

Everything I bought:

Quinoa/Rice Mix

7 Bananas

Bulk Peanut Butter

4 Cans of Black Beans

Hamburger Buns

Morning Star Veggie Burgers

Bulk Minute Oats

Tortillas

Bag of Shredded Cheese

Whole Wheat Bread Loaf

Butter

Eggs

A Bag of Bell Peppers

Everything I’ve Made Using Only These Ingredients:

Scrambled Eggs and Peanut Butter Toast

French Toast

Quinoa Bowl with Black Beans, Cheese, and Bell Pepper

Veggie Burger

Bean and Cheese Burrito 

Egg, Cheese, and Salsa Burrito

Oatmeal (add peanut butter for flavor and protein)

Peanut Butter Sandwiches (add banana for fruit and flavor)

Cheese Quesadilla 

Obviously this isn’t a ton of variety, but I promise I’m trying and I wanted to show that things like this take time to master. Eventually I will think of more things to cook and how to live comfortably. Some basic rules of thumb for staying cheap that I’ve followed...don’t eat out, buy the generic brand over the name brand you’ll rarely be able to actually tell a difference, have a list before you go to the store, don’t shop on an empty stomach, and everything will be okay eventually I promise you won’t eat peanut butter sandwiches for the rest of your life now that you’re cooking for yourself.

Today I discovered this writer’s tactic to face her fear of rejection and failure, and it’s honestly very inspiring?! This kinda rewired my brain and I feel everyone should read and think about it.

tag urself as a student type

coffee: always frantic, has a crammed schedule, never stops consuming caffeine, will agree to go to a party even if they have a six a.m. shift the next day

bujo: organized, likes to makes lists and keep track of things, plans outfit the night before, stresses when they get a grade less than a B

oops: stopped caring in the third grade, somehow manages to get okay grades, never studies, kind of lazy, would eat Waffle House at 3 in the morning

sweatshirt: is trying as hard as they possibly can, has to study and work hard for their grades, constantly stressing, has social anxiety, tries to do every extra curricular under the sun

aesthetique: probably vegetarian or vegan, has a “mom jean” 80′s aesthetic, glorifies local cafes, wants to live in Europe, always wants to cut their hair

gothique: black clothes only, still stans my chemical romance, uses sarcasm as a defense mechanism, desperately wants some tattoos, likes the black lipstick look but too shy to do it

A little update on my life: I’m living off campus this year and I just moved into a house in the city. I’m currently looking for a job to cover my rent and I’ll be continuing to study geological engineering. 🎵: Figures by Jessie Reyes

today is the day that Adult Anxiety(TM) hits. today is also the day that I realize I am allowed to say “Hi, I have no idea what I’m doing but my goal is ____(this). Can you help me?” bc literally no one entering adulthood knows what the fuck they are doing.

learning to let go and learning to relax means just freaking sticking those stickers on something. stop worrying if it’s the right place. burn that nice candle you’ve had for a year. it doesn’t need a special occasion. I’m gonna use those fancy soaps I’ve been collecting in a drawer even though they look so pretty and it means I’ll use them up. everything is temporary so just enjoy the littlest pleasures you can possibly have we all need to just let go and enjoy things while they last. the sticker’s gonna look fine on your water bottle I promise
