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.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
