Bacon is highly overrated. I don't like the taste of it, and my stomach doesn't like it either. I cut most pork and beef out of my life years ago, so now the only bacon I eat is turkey bacon (and the occasional sweet black pepper bacon sandwich from Dunkin Donuts because YUM!) Other than that, bacon is barely a part of my life while you consider it the holy grail of breakfast foods.

The only thing that is remotely iconic about bacon is Ron Swanson. I just hope that one day, my significant other loves me just as much as Ron Swanson loves bacon.


What do you have to be prepared about? You just have to quite literally prepare it by cooking it.

Can you say you have your favorite food hidden around your workspace?

Yes?

No?

Even if you do, you aren't up to Ron Swanson standards.

If you are obsessed with bacon, you may not want to keep reading, because I'm here to tell you how much it sucks.

It's greasy, smelly, weirdly seasoned, cooked poorly, and the oil when you cook it always pops up and burns you. Also, it's added to LITERALLY everything. Do we really need that many bacon-flavored foods? After all, we already have bacon itself...

Whether it's bacon flavored gum, bacon lollipops, bacon ice cream, bacon croutons, bacon mayonnaise, bacon alcohol, bacon potato chips, bacon Ritz crackers, and literally every brand of cat and dog food has a bacon flavor.

Please, just take bubblegum flavored gum, vanilla ice cream, BBQ chips, and keep your bacon obsession away from me.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
