Do we really need that much ranch?

5 Things We Can Buy That We Really Shouldn't

Christmas time is just around the corner, and hey, gift ideas are hard to come by. I'm here to tell you this list is not Christmas gift worthy and shouldn't be purchased at any time in the following weeks. I'm not ashamed to admit I've gotten some crazy things off of Amazon before.

For example, I've purchased a perm in a box, a deep neck one-piece swimsuit I've never worn in public because everything would fall out, and wigs because I got too deep into YouTube and thought I could pull it off like those wondrous women in those videos. Safe to say I wasted a lot of money on things I thought would be useful but weren't, and here is a list of things no one in their right mind should ever buy.

1. You Can Now Buy a Keg of Ranch

First off, we all know ranch is great, but do we really need a keg size amount? Even for a party this is a bit excessive. This is enough ranch to bathe in or even recreate a wrestling match with instead of using jello.

2. A Handheld Egg Cracker/Separator


Seriously!? Who doesn’t know how to crack an egg? This is the silliest thing I’ve ever seen. There is no point in owning this contraption unless you only have one hand and physically can’t open an egg by yourself.

3. A light to put in your toilet to make it glow


Okay…I get that walking to the bathroom in the dark is a task, but I’m more terrified of illuminating the bacteria and grime that builds up in there. I don’t really want to scare off any visitors with lighting up the stains in my toilet. Especially if I haven’t gotten around to cleaning it yet.

4. Hitch-Mounted Stripper Pole

What person comes up with this stuff? I mean, it’s not safe to use, and would someone really wear heels up on that thing? The only time I could think of someone using this is when they’re really drunk. If that’s the case, it’s probably a really dangerous thing to own which can incite some extremely stupid ideas.

5. Flavored Lickable Wallpaper


We all love Willy Wonka and his amazing tasty wallpaper idea, but in reality, this is just unsanitary. How many people do you think licked this wall? It’s the equivalent of catching a disease from public toilets, it's just gross.

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.

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.
