22 Reasons Why IKEA Is The Best
Cool Bananas

Ikea has taken the world by storm through its spunky designs and practical products! Here are 22 reasons why Ikea is literally the best!


1. You can never miss it.

What other store is in a massive blue and yellow building?

2. The food is as good as the furniture.

Seriously, the meatballs are heavenly!

3. They create serious "house goals."

Who else can put a bedroom, kitchen, dining room, bathroom, and living room in 391 square feet?

4. There is endless amounts of stuff.

You'll always find what you need, and you will always find what you don't need.

5. Everything is reasonably priced!

Why yes, I do need 30 candles for $2.99.

6. All of their products are on Pinterest.

"Jane Doe created a new board, Ikea Home Makeover."

7. It will turn you into a complete DIY king/queen.

Be careful! It can become addicting!

8. Everything is self-service.

Yes, you have to get it from the shelf. Yes, you have to assemble it when you get home.

9. All products come with easy instructions for assembly.

No words! Just pictures!

10. Transporting everything is no biggie.

Everything is packed into flat boxes to make packing your trunk a breeze!

11. You can test everything!

DO NOT TOUCH DISPLAYS! Ikea wants you to touch, sit, and even nap on the displays!

12. They are always changing the layout of the store.

The walls even move!

13. If you ever get lost, just follow the arrows on the main walkway.

Turn right in 6.5 feet.

14. There is a reason the walkway is never straight for very long.

There is a sharp turn every 50 feet to make sure you never get bored.

15. If you do get bored, just watch other customers.

No matter where you are, there are always couples arguing.

16. Every product has the most unique name.

Different product categories are named after Swedish names, towns, or islands. This system was devised by Ikea's creator, who was dyslexic and had trouble memorizing product numbers.

17. The bathrooms are always spotless!

You won't want to sprinkle when you tinkle...

18. It is family oriented.

They even have a free daycare!

19. You can play an epic game of hide-and-seek.

Ready or not, here I come!

20. It is the Disney World of furniture.

Welcome to the happiest place on Earth!

21. They care about the environment.

All of Ikea's products only use 1 percent of the world's commercial wood supply. Some stores even have gardens planted on the roof to help heat and cool the building more efficiently!

22. There is something for everyone!

Yes, you too!

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.

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.

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.
