Every great Top Ten is supported by its choice in numbers. You simply can’t have a numbered list without great numbering, and in order to get that great sequence, you’ve got to choose your numbers carefully. So, in the spirit of Top Tens, I’ve compiled my own Top Ten for the Top Ten numbers to use for your next Top Ten list! See what numerals made the cut below, and be sure to like, share, and follow for more great reads!!!!

First though, let’s look at some honorable mentions: 53, 78, 999, 1 ½, 1,000,000, and, last but not least, -2. Now let’s get into the Top Ten countdown of the Top Ten numbers to use in your next Top Ten list!

10. Ten

Ten isn’t the worst number – there are literally millions of others–but it isn’t the top of the top either. I’d suggest using this number to note your lowest ranking item on the Top Ten. Its double digits can be awkward at times, so it’s better to get this one out of the way right from the get-go.

9. Nine

Do people even like the number nine? I feel like it’s always getting the short end of the stick, but with good reason. It’s not a very fun number, it’s kinda boring (and when I say “kinda” I mean it’s really boring) and it just barely ekes out a higher rank than ten because of its streamlined single-digit identity. No, nine is not that great.

8. Eight

Eight is pretty cool. Not gonna lie about that. That whole “figure eight” design is pretty state-of-the-art, and its name is so nice, so futuristic. Eight. It has a ring to it. Unfortunately, eight is a bit ahead of its time, and most people just don’t get it. This number just can’t compare to the traditional awesomeness of the numbers further on in this list.

7. Seven

Lucky number seven. Of all the numbers, this one is probably the coolest. The one you’d want to hang out with. Seven is definitely the bad boy of the group, the one with the slick reputation that makes people question if it’s, like, a cool bad or a bad bad. That confusion helps keep this one pretty low on the list.

6. Six

Six is a straight-up beast. It’s the Scary Spice of the number world. You watch all the crazy things six does and you’re like, “Huh, that thing is wild. So cool.” But at the same time, you’re also like, “Please don’t come anywhere near me, I have kids.” Six is best kept at a distance, watched from afar, left alone to run around maniacally over there. And when it gets close, watch out. Rank six a few slots higher than it deserves, just because you want to keep this one happy. A happy six is a six that won’t end up murdering your entire family.

5. Five

Ugh, five. Five is the goody two shoes of the group. It’s soooo good. Follows directions, says “please” and “thank you”, always puts the toilet seat down. I mean, it’s impossible not to like this guy, but at the same time, you just wish it’d do something bad for once. It’s predictable, I guess you could say. That predictability, unfortunately, leaves it at the halfway point in our Top Ten list.

4. Four

Eh, Four is okay. Everyone kinda likes this number but no one really knows why. It’s just one of those likable numbers that don’t really stand out much. There’s not much to say about it either.

3. Three

Three is an underdog. It’s that number where you’re not sure it can make it all the way, but you really really want it to, and you’re rooting for it. You root for three. Everyone roots for three. It’s a rootable number, and everyone loves to see three come out on top. Unfortunately, three’s fallen short again--it always seems to do that--and has only reached the third highest slot on our list.

2. Two

Two is so hot. It’s so, so, so hot. It’s got that real nice curve that arcs in just the right way, it comes down to a sharp point that’s so hard and firm, and that line at the bottom – oh! Two just makes me feel so many things. You can’t help but love this sexy numeral, and that’s why this cute thing is right up here in the runner-up spot.

And now we’re at Number One! Have you guessed it yet? Well, we’re about to find out. The Topmost number for your next Top Ten list is…

1.One

You might’ve seen this coming from a mile away! One is the golden boy of the numbers world. It can do no wrong, and it can turn even the most furious of haters to the biggest of fans in an instant. It’s amazing and everyone knows it.


And that’s it! Those are the Top Ten numbers to use for your next Top Ten list! I hope you enjoyed this article, and let me know in the comments below if you think any other numbers should have gotten onto this list instead! Until next time :)

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.
