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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
