20 Pumpkin Spice Products That Test Society's Limits

It's that time of the year again. The time where businesses aggressively market pumpkin products. The time where there are no limits. Some are hits, some are misses.

1. Whey Blend

I do appreciate this breaking the basic white girl stereotype. I honestly didn't know whey blends had flavors.

2. Pudding

Can we talk about how amazing this is? It's a pumpkin pie without the need to bake. I don't have time to bake. I don't even have an oven.

3. Beef Jerky

This is the most offensive thing I've ever seen online.

4. Buttery Spread

This really changes the bagel game.

5. Hummus

I don't know much about Mediterranean/North African/Middle Eastern cultures, but I feel like this is an unconventional flavor to dip raw vegetables or pita chips in.

6. Peeps

Peeps suck. They really do. It's a gelatinous sugar covered in more sugar. Nothing can save it, not even pumpkin spice.

7. Mini-Wheats Cereal

I really don't see a better way to get my whole grains in for the day than with this cereal.

8. Milk

The only way to earn my respect is to pour this into your pumpkin spice Mini-Wheats.

9. Coconut Milk

The second way to earn my respect is to pour this into your pumpkin spice Mini-Wheats.

10. Oreos

Freshman year, my aunt sent me these in the mail. I offered one to a guy on my floor and he refused because he "isn't a basic white girl." I'm still not over this.

11. Sausage

There are many unappetizing things on this list but I am truly disgusted.

12. Spice

Isn't pumpkin spice just cinnamon and nutmeg? I don't understand.

13. Bisque

"Bisque" makes me think of lobster bisque and the thought of lobster combined with pumpkin is making me dry heave.

14. Some Spread and Peanut Butter Hybrid Thing

I want to bathe in this.

15. Pringles

Pringles has also sold grilled shrimp flavored chips so this is pretty tame in comparison.

16. Salmon

A fish died to be disrespected like this.

17. Moustache Wax

To set the season for No Shave November.

18. Fries

I mean honestly why not? Salmon is on this list. We have no boundaries anymore. Nothing is sacred.

19. Kale Chips

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

20. Four Loko

Mistakes know no season.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

The people that spend their summers at the lake are a unique group of people.

Whether you grew up going to the lake, have only recently started going, or have only been once or twice, you know it takes a certain kind of person to be a lake person. To the long-time lake people, the lake holds a special place in your heart, no matter how dirty the water may look.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.

A bad day at the lake is still better than a good day not at the lake.

You know the best beaches and coves to go to.

You have no patience for the guy who can't back his trailer into the water right.

The cooler is always packed, mostly with beer.

Giving the idiot who goes 30 in a "No Wake Zone" a piece of your mind.

You have no problem with peeing in the water.

You know the frustration of getting your anchor stuck.

Watching in awe at the bigger, better boats that pass by.

Knowing any swimsuit that you own with white in it is best left for the pool or the ocean.

Having a name for your boat unique to you and your life.
