5 Reasons Potatoes are the Ultimate Food

1.) You can do anything with them. Anything.

Baked. Fried. Roasted. Broiled. Grilled. Any potato cooked any kind of way is absolutely delicious. Those who disagree....well, you're weird.

2.) They aren't used for just food....You can do literally anything with them.

Potato launcher. Use as a cure for warts. (Look up the old wives tale.) A simple way to beat your brother upside the head... They really are the most versatile food.

3.) Have you ever had the best French fries of your life?

As a strong craver of French fries, I know what it is like when I hit the fry jackpot. Sure, McDonald's and Wendy's have their lives together when it comes to making bomb French fries, but have you ever found the motherload of all French fries? It may come from a fast food joint, maybe a Ma and Pa restaurant, maybe a steakhouse. But you'll know when you find the best place for French fries. It's an intuition. It truly is. A tantalizing taste...sorry, I really love French fries.

4.) They fit in to almost any diet.

Whether you're gluten free, paleo, vegetarian, or vegan, potatoes fit in to every diet...unless you're watching your carb intake...but who does that? ;)

5.) You can get them almost anywhere....

As a gluten free eater myself, there are a lot of things I can't find at restaurants or certain stores that I would like. Potatoes are not one of those things. Whether it be fast food, simple dining, fancy restaurants, or a grocery store. Potatoes are always there. They never fail to be there for those who love and need them. Potatoes are the ultimate food.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
