Yeah, my local ice cream place knows my order before I walk in, but it's all fine.

5 Reasons Why Ice Cream is the solution for any situation

Jared Sluyter

So you know how people are repetitive visitors to Starbucks to the point that the baristas already know their order? Yeah, that's me, except I hate coffee. So my go-to is ice cream.

Having a bad day? Ice cream. Celebrating something? Ice Cream. Ice cream is the cure-all go-to fix for anything. It's all true.

1. Food happiness.

Ice cream just brings inexplicable happiness. How can you not be happy when eating that cold goodness? It's sweet and refreshing on a hot day. Your favorite flavor is enough to bring happiness to any situation.

2. Comfort of friendship.

Ice cream is the best way to bring friends together. I know if I'm invited to go get ice cream with someone, I don't care what time it is, what I'm doing, or who it's with...I go! So if you're feeling lonely, need to make some new friends, invite them to go get ice cream with you. It's the perfect bonding experience that is sure to bring your friendship to a new level based on your mutual love for ice cream.

3. Feeling of belonging.

I don't know about you, but my favorite local ice cream shops already know what I'm going to order from the second I walk in. The fact that my local ice cream shop's employees recognize me and remember my order makes me feel special. I belong there. Maybe you don't get this feeling of belonging elsewhere, but at least you can experience it with your shared understanding of ice cream.

4. You've got hundreds of options depending on your mood.

There are literally hundreds of combinations of flavors and toppings you can add to create your own unique ice cream experience. I know for me my go-to is chocolate, and as much of it as I can get. But the great thing about going to get ice cream is that you can also ask for samples of other flavors if you want to be experimental, but also play it safe in the end by getting your usual flavor. Or maybe you do want to switch it up. If you're feeling sad then I definitely think chocolate is the way to go. But maybe you want something light and summery? Try a sorbet. Not to mention the literally thousands of places in the world that you could go to try a new option of ice cream. Each location is different, from the texture to the flavors to the topping options. So if you get tired of your favorite local spot, next time, try some place new.

5. The solution of distraction.

How can you think about how your boyfriend broke up with you as you are enjoying a delicious bowl of ice cream? (You can't.) How can you dwell on the mounting piles of homework you have waiting for you at home while you are enjoying a huge scoop of your favorite flavor? You can't! All of life's cares and struggles "melt" away when you take time to enjoy some ice cream. You become distracted by the flavorful goodness that is in your cup or cone for at least a brief moment of your day. No, ice cream may not actually solve all your issues; but at least for a brief moment in time, everything seems at least a little bit better than it was before.

I don't know about you, but just during the course of writing this article I have gone out to get ice cream two times! So clearly, if you are still reading, it is time for you to get up, and drive to your favorite ice cream place. Or, you never know, sometimes you can have it delivered. No matter the occasion, ice cream is the perfect solution and you ALWAYS deserve to treat yo'self.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
