This is the account of my beginning days of veganhood. I'll get there. Slowly but surely. If you ever want to submit recipes, photos, thoughts, whatever, I'd love all the advice I can get!

Day Sixty-Four.
Well folks I’m headed back to the land of microwave dinners: college.
Things I’m not looking forward to (from a vegan perspective) upon returning to college:
  • not being able to cook
  • thai noodle bowls
  • salads from the cafeteria
  • salads from restaurants
  • salads in general
  • my 1970’s microwave
  • not eating all day until suppertime
  • staring scrambled eggs in the face every morning in the caf
  • not being able to drink frappucinos at The Brew

And, while that^ bullet list DOES seem quite negative, there is one reason I am so glad to be vegan that essentially cancels all the negative stuff out:

  • personally, i feel that veganism is the ethical thing to do.

And, in the end, that’s what matters.

Day Sixty-Three.

Realizations I’ve made over Spring Break:

  • I actually royally suck at preparing tofu of any kind.
  • However, I’m a beast at making delectable burritos.
  • I have yet to find a vegan deodorant that does some deodorizing.
  • Though I’ve been told that Xylitol is a great vegan toothpaste, I can’t find it ANYWHERE.
  • I’m truly turning into a full-bore hippie.
  • I make really really really good vegan chocolate chip cookies.
  • I really miss eggs, but I haven’t given in.
  • I also really want to use argan oil to combat my frizzy hair but it’s also quite difficult to find.
  • I need advice from you guys.
  • I never post anymore and I’m like the worst blog operator ever. 
  • wah I’m sorry don’t hate me ok?
