Macaroni and cheese is a childhood staple. One of the best cuisine combinations to ever happen to mankind. If you’re like me, you ate a box of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese (likely the Spongebob shaped noodles) every day after morning kindergarten. To be addicted to macaroni and cheese is to be addicted to love. It’s the best food to eat when you’re down, and the best food to eat all day, every day. If you love macaroni and cheese and are as addicted as I am, here are nine things you know all too well.

1. “Fancier” and “more expensive” macaroni and cheese doesn’t always mean better

Ok, so it could mean better, but that’s not always true. If you’re putting pears and nuts on top of my macaroni, you’re ruining the essence of macaroni and cheese. Better macaroni and cheese means creamier and cheesier.

2. Being able to afford your favorite food while ballin’ on a college budget is glorious

Can’t say I can afford a nice steak on my college budget. But I can DEFINITELY say I can afford a nice $1 box of Annie’s White Cheddar Shells or Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. Who’s the real winner here?

3. It might be the best drunk food in the entire universe

Might be...more like it one hundred percent is the best drunk food in the entire universe.

4. You can tell your friends which restaurants in the area have the best macaroni and cheese because you’ve tried every single one of them

Some places are worth getting macaroni and cheese every time you go there, and others are a waste of money. Your friends know to ask you before they order macaroni and cheese from somewhere because they know you’ve likely had it more than once. (Pro tip: Full Moon has some of the best macaroni I’ve ever had.)

5. No matter the form, if there’s macaroni and cheese, it’s probably heavenly

Fried macaroni and cheese. Macaroni and cheese pizza. Macaroni and cheese on your burger. Macaroni and cheese stuffed jalapenos. The list goes on. And it goes on gooooooood.

6. You would cheat your diet any day for some macaroni and cheese

One bad meal didn’t do nothing to nobody. Macaroni and cheese will only improve any day’s cuisine.

7. There’s something about Kraft Macaroni and Cheese that brings back memories

It might be because you ate it every day as a child. It might be because the character-shaped noodles are one-of-a-kind. It might be because it’s still delicious, even though it’s super fake and artificial. It doesn’t matter, that stuff just gets you feelin’ sentimental.

8. When you make a box of macaroni and cheese, you have to make a second for the rest of the people you’re serving

One box is like an after-school snack. If anyone else wants some, they might be S.O.L.

9. Macaroni and cheese makes any day better

It’s the best food there ever was. And that’s that.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
