Top 5 Most Overrated Foods

Disclaimer: you will be mad after this, and that is totally okay and also suggested.

5. Salad. Salad is one of the most worthless foods by itself. So before you come at me with pitchforks I am not saying all salads are worthless, just most of them. Salads are completely not sustaining; if you do not add some sort of protein to the salad you will be hungry again in less than 30 minutes. Even if you do add ingredients to a basic salad to make it taste better, by the time you are done it won't even be healthy for you anymore, thus taking away the only thing salad has going for it. There are many better tasting healthy options out there and you know it.

4. Nutella. Nutella is an okay concept. I understand that it has a cult following, but usually when something has a cult following it's because everyone knows it is not that good, but they feel it deserves love nonetheless. Nutella is a perfect example. It's essentially just less sweet chocolate peanut butter, but it wastes all that potential. It could be way better if it were simply chocolate peanut butter. Nutella does not deserve its hype.

3. Krispy Kreme donuts. Krispy Kreme may be the most inferior donut out there. There is very little separation between it and a donut found at a local grocery store. The best part about Krispy Kreme is that if you go inside you can see the donuts being made. Other than that, there is nothing special about their donuts. They are bland, lukewarm donuts that provide nothing unique and are not soft and comforting like a donut should be. If you want an actual donut go to Shipley's, or if you want outstanding donuts go to a mom and pop donut shop in your area.

2. Potato salad. Not going to lie, this one isn't all that controversial, it's just here for me to rant. Potato salad makes no sense. There are tons of ways to make potatoes taste good and salad is not one of them. Maybe I just have something against salads, or maybe adding a pound of mustard or mayonnaise to potatoes is just not a good idea. Spoiler alert: adding a pound of mayonnaise or mustard to anything is never a good idea! Think of all the options: mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, french fries, potato wedges, potato skins, literally anything is a better use of potatoes.

1. Bacon. That's right, I said it. Bacon lovers unite to come yell at me. Let's be honest: bacon is an okay accessory on burgers and is good for breakfast. But in no way does it deserve to have its own sandwich. The BLT is awful. Bacon cannot carry a sandwich like that. Bacon is okay on its own but we have no business throwing it into all sorts of things it has no business being associated with. For example: bacon flavored lollipops, bacon flavored ice cream. The taste simply is not that astounding. Im not saying it's awful, but it is extremely overrated.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
