Hi! I just moved to Tennesse.
-
welcome! i moved here about 3 years ago. what part of TN are you in? how are you adapting to the south (if you’re not originally from the south)?
-
I’m in Memphis, and no adapting cause I’m originally from Arkansas. One of these days I’m going to get out of the South, but apparently not yet. Where are you in TN?
-
I’m in Knoxville. I keep telling myself I going to get out of the South too. Not from the south, don’t really want to be in the south, yet I’ve been in different parts of the south since 18 when I went to college in VA.
I don’t have fond memories of driving through Arkansas, so I assume Memphis is a step up?
-
Yeah I’d consider it a small step up. It’s definitely the most populated place I’ve ever lived in.
-
So I looked at a map because I’m terrible at geography, and then I laughed because we’re literally as far apart as two people could get and still be in TN.
-
lol. yep. it’s a good 6 hours. TN is a long state. we could be further if i lived in Johnson City, which is at the NE corner or TN.

-
hot damn I’m from Memphis too (going to college in Nashville) we should be friends. yay I’m not the only queer girl in town! :D
-
Score! What are you in school for?
-
I’m double majoring in psych and French. I’m actually studying abroad in France right now but it’s only for another month so I didn’t count it lol. what brings you to TN?
-
Optometry school.
Just to make me incredibly jealous, exactly how awesome is France?
-
France is fantastic, there’s an outdoor food market basically on my doorstep three times a week and pastries are the best things ever and the public transportation is cheap and can take me to the beach in an hour. I give it an 8/10 on the awesome scale, with points getting taken away for the fact that I spend most of my time sitting in my…[Read more]

Haven’t had that one yet. So far I’ve had The Barbeque Shop, Corky’s, and International (I think that’s right). So far I like Memphis but I’ve barely done anything. I feel like I spend all my time studying :(

I’ve tried 4 or 5 times to be a vegetarian but the most I have lasted is 7 days..any tips?
-
Watch Earthlings, it’s streaming online at earthlings.com. It always helps.
What are you slipping up with?
-
I always slip when I am in a hurry and have class for the next 4-5 hours and just need something fast.
-
Plan ahead–pack some snacks in your bag (trail mix, nuts, lara bars or other types of bars, primal strips, whatever), have ingredients for PB&J or some other easy to make meal at home, and figure out what the nearby veg options are out. You can do it!
-
Thanks for the advice! I have actually made it to 2 weeks and I don’t see myself going back to eating meat. I did accidentally eat soup that was made with chicken broth but other than that everything has been good. Definitely been eating a lot of PB and J though!

I guess my question would be why you want to be a vegetarian if it’s something you can easy break? And I don’t mean it in a judgey way. I went on and off for months at a time and until I have finally reached being pescetarian for about 3 years now. Plan ahead and think about what you can eat. In a rush is tough, but I give myself the option of…[Read more]

I think it comes down to you really wanting to do it. I tried to be a vegetarian a few times but it didn’t stick. I never ate a lot of meat so I didn’t think it would be too difficult. Then I started reading some different books about all the horrible crap in so much of our food, meat included. First I stopped eating all processed foods which cut…[Read more]
-
For me, it was really helpful to have friends/roommates who went vegan at the same time, slightly earlier really. We could work together in figuring out good places to eat. Maybe see if there’s some sort of vegetarian club in your area/ at your school, and if not there are tons of online communities.
I also ate a ton of convenience foods, like…[Read more]
