6 Of The Most Overrated Things Ever

Chipotle charges extra for guac, didn’t have queso until recently, AND we are just going to overlook the E. Coli outbreak?

Now, I get that this might be controversial and really offend some people, but hear me out. Take a look at my reasons for why these are some of the most overrated things, and maybe I'll save you some money and time in the long run (you can thank me later).

If you really do love some of these things, that's great, but don't act like it's the end of the world when someone disagrees. There has to be at least a few things on this list we can agree on.

1. Chipotle

Don’t come for me, Chipotle lovers. All I know is that I was raised on Qdoba, so you can’t tell me that Chipotle can top the goodness that is Qdoba.

Chipotle charges extra for guac, didn’t have queso until recently, AND we are just going to overlook the E. Coli outbreak? No thanks, I’ll stick to what I know best.

2. All-nighters

This method might work well for some people out there, but I have never understood the benefit of an all-nighter.

Sure, if you have a lot of homework to catch up on, I definitely get staying at the library to get it done. I just don’t get how someone can study the entire night for an exam the next day.

There’s no way you are retaining that much information in that amount of time. Not to mention, you are going to be exhausted for the exam.

3. Bacon

Before you call me a bacon-hater, I am here to assure you that I am not. I enjoy bacon. But, there is a definite line.

When people are so obsessed with bacon that they start chewing bacon-flavored gum, get tattoos of bacon, and drink bacon soda, I’m out. It’s good for breakfast or an occasional BLT, but it’s not THAT incredibly life-changing.

4. "The Notebook"

Whenever people think of classic romance movies, The Notebook is inevitably mentioned at some point. I have tried to watch it so many times, but just end up falling asleep every time.

It’s a great movie, but I definitely think there are much better romantic movies out there waiting to be seen.

5. 3D movies

Going to the movie theater is expensive. The extra charge to wear awkward glasses (which are even more awkward if you already wear glasses), is ridiculous. Plus, the effects are so incredible that I don't need to pay extra to see a movie in 3D.

Any time I have seen a movie in 3D, I leave with a headache and the realization that the movie would have been just as good in 2D. Save your money!

6. Hotel views

I don’t think I will ever understand the necessity for an amazing hotel view. Sure, it’s an added bonus if I happen to get a room with a good view of my surroundings, but the complaints of bad views seem a little excessive to me.

It’s not like you would sit by your hotel window all day and stare at a good view if you had one, so why is a view of the rooftop the end of the world?

Anyways, you should be out of your hotel room and go sightseeing, not sitting around griping about what’s outside your window!

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.
