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.

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.

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.
