10 Words That The B in IHOP’s New Name Should Have Been INSTEAD Of Burgers

Because obviously they've never heard of the phrase “if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

So, IHOP is now IHOb. And the "b" stands for burgers. OK.

Here are 10 things that would have made so much more sense.

1. Biscuits

If you're a born Southerner like me, biscuits have a special place in your heart (most likely your coronary arteries). They're perfect for any meal, and they go with just about anything.

2. Bacon

Giphy

Another food that has a place in my heart, bacon is the best add-on for any meal (if it's not already the main course). If it's savory, crispy, and delectable, it might just be bacon.

3. Bears. Beets. Battle Star Galactica.

Giphy

Is it too much to ask that they become a restaurant focused on "The Office"? I'm picturing it now: beet flavored pancakes, generic birthday decorations, and some type of cake (hopefully not carrot).

4. Brooke

Hopefully, the owners of IHOP have decided to gift me their breakfast franchise. I will graciously accept the new International House of Brooke and will offer free breakfast to all college students.

5. Blockbuster

Giphy

Reviving an old franchise could liven up the IHOP atmosphere. Imagine breakfast and "The Breakfast Club." After all, who doesn't love dinner AND a show?

6. Beyoncé

Giphy

It makes sense. Queen B's voice is as smooth as honey, so why shouldn't she rule an empire just as sweet? She always has hot sauce in her bag (which is great on IHOP's hash browns), so it should be of no surprise that IHOP decided to recognize her.

7. Butter

Giphy

As my step-father used to say, “Everything's better with a little butter." Breakfast is no exception! Who doesn't love that little butter square on their pancakes?

8. Books

Giphy

Not unlike a library (which would be horribly sticky when pancakes are involved), IHOP could be focused on a kid's only section. They could hire a reader to take kids on a journey through fantasy lands while they ate breakfast. It could also give parents a chance to enjoy their food for once.

9. Bachelor's Degree

Giphy

Finally putting that degree to some good use, IHOP could be celebrating the nation's attempt to further education. Anyone with a bachelor's degree could join the exclusive International House of Bachelor's club and receive free breakfast for life (or just one buttermilk pancake, either is fine with me).

10. Breakfast

Giphy

Honestly the most believable one on this list, the new IHOb could be the International House of Breakfast. Considering that IHOP offers crepes, bacon, eggs, chicken, waffles, and french toast, along with many other items, they may be trying to break away from only being known for their pancakes.

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.

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
