When it comes to breakfast (or any time of day, for that matter), I'm an all-sweets kind of girl. Cereal is my go-to breakfast meal, and I've spent the last 21 years figuring out which cereal reigns supreme over the breakfast aisle. Here are the official results, according to me:

15. Vanilla Almond Special K

I just love the sweet flakes, crunchy roasted almonds, and yummy vanilla flavor of this cereal. My mom uses it for baking, but I just love eating it with milk.



14. Cap'n Crunch

All of the Cap'n Crunch varieties are delicious, but regular Crunch is my favorite. They look like tiny bricks of pirate gold, and they taste even better.



13. Frosted Flakes

Sugar, sugar, and more sugar.



12. Fruity Pebbles

Mixed fruit flavor in the form of crunchy cereal nibbles? Sign me up.



11. Honey Nut Cheerios

Because who would choose to eat regular Cheerios when you can eat better Cheerios that taste like golden honey?



10. Frosted Mini-Wheats

These little bundles of wheat and sugar are just too good to pass up. Although it's tempting to buy the off-brand stuff to save money, you definitely shouldn't because the original is way better.



9. Lucky Charms

I'm not even a marshmallow lover, but this cereal has been one of my favorite breakfast meals since childhood. I'm pretty sure that some people just pick out the marshmallows and leave the plain pieces behind, but it's all good.



8. Apple Jacks

I'll admit, this cereal tastes nothing like apples, but the cinnamon flavor is sooooooooo delicious.



7. Honey Graham Oh's

I've loved Oh's cereal ever since I was a kid. Every bite is so sugary and sweet and full of oatmeal bits.



6. Cocoa Puffs

What can I say? I'm addicted to chocolate, even at breakfast.



5. Honey Roasted Honey Bunches of Oats

It's the tastiest combination around of sweet flakes, granola, and honey-flavored goodness. If you like regular granola, you should try this sometime!



4. Waffle Crisp

I'm a sucker for all things maple-flavored, including cereal that's reminiscent of syrupy toaster waffles.



3. Reese's Puffs

What could be better than a cereal that tastes like chocolate and peanut butter (AKA two of my favorite foods)?



2. Cinnamon Toast Crunch

My husband and I absolutely adore CTC, for obvious reasons. It's like an upgraded cinnamon roll, and the crunch is oh-so-satisfying.



1. Life Cereal

Maybe it's the sweet transformation on traditional checkered cereal, or maybe it's the sugary flavor embedded within each bite, but Life cereal is my absolute favorite cereal of all time.



It's true that all cereal is wonderful, but only a few varieties have my vote in the end. What is your favorite kind of cereal?

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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

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.
