There is a dish. A culinary creation so magical it should be enshrined in history as one of the wonders of the world. I'm sure many of you have heard of it, and I certainly hope that all of you have had the divine honor of tasting this masterpiece yourself: macaroni and cheese.

Yes. The cheesy, carb-y creation frequently enjoyed by small children but certainly loved by adults as well. It can come in shapes and various flavors-- smoked Gouda, white cheddar, American-- and, of course, the classic sharp cheddar.


While most people like mac n' cheese, there is a collection of individuals who are unreasonably OBSESSED with it. Do you believe this might be you? Here are nine signs you're obsessed with macaroni and cheese.

1. It's your go-to order at any restaurant.


Because of this, you're often That Adult who orders it off the children's menu. God bless the waiters who are kind enough to serve you mac n' cheese even though you're clearly older than 10.

2. You get unreasonably angry when you run out of it


WHERE IS IT?!?! I KNOW I ATE THREE SINGLE-SERVE VELVEETAS LAST NIGHT BUT I KNOW I HAD AT LEAST ONE MORE LEFT!!!!!!!

3. It's basically a food group


Because of this, it's only reasonable that you have-- at the very minimum-- one serving a day. Right? RIGHT?!?!

4. You will fight anyone who suggests you eat less of it


After all, grains-- aka PASTA-- are supposed to be a big part of your diet. And you're supposed to eat dairy, so... I see no problem with my mac-n-cheese addiction.

5. Even bad mac-n-cheese is good


To me, the 99 cent boxes at the supermarket taste just as good as the 9.99 side servings at any restaurant. It's just a gift from heaven.

6. While pasta and cheese are amazing separately, they're incomparably amazing when together


I'm honestly surprised that every movie monologue about love isn't secretly directed at macaroni and cheese. Like... is it possible to love anything more?

7. You're often distracted at work/in class/during conversations because you're imagining the bowl of mac n' cheese you're going to eat later that day

If I'm ever spaced out, chances are I'm planning the fastest way to eat the most mac n' cheese as soon as I'm free from whatever my current commitment is. I find my mind is often one thought away from my favorite food in the world.

8. You also get unreasonably angry when people desecrate your sacred food


WHO PUTS KETCHUP IN MAC N' CHEESE?!?! IT'S PERFECT ALL BY ITSELF. The only thing that should ever go near mac n' cheese is MORE MAC N' CHEESE. Also, sometimes Parmesan. But ketchup?!?! NEVER.

9. You can easily eat a whole box in one sitting


Come on. It's barely even a challenge. Don't tell anyone, but often I'll eat straight out of the pot. It's nice and hot and, let's be real, I'm not letting anyone else eat any of it anyways. Might as well devour it all in one sitting.


Macaroni and cheese is truly a gift unto this earth. May we all eat plenty and bond over our love for its cheesy goodness. After all...

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
