Ice cream is not for everybody, but it is a beautiful thing that many people enjoy. Next time you are feeling adventurous and want to step outside your comfort zones, try one of the flavors on this list that you have not eaten yet.

Here is a list of a few, but certainly not all, of the ice cream flavors you need to try:

1. Vanilla

Yes. Vanilla gets a bad rep. It seems boring and a completely uneventful way to end your meal. But, vanilla offers us a wonderful experience. It gives a way to experience toppings. This flavor might not be adventurous in itself, but it allows you to get crazy with toppings. Add on some Oreos, gummy bears, M&Ms, chocolate fudge, caramel and all the wild toppings you can possibly think of. That is what vanilla is for.

2. Chocolate

Okay chocolate is not an adventurous flavor but if you have not had chocolate or vanilla yet, you are missing something beautiful. Chocolate is delicious – plain and simple.

3. Cookie Dough

Cookie dough is like the forbidden pleasure of the world. Everyone tells us not to eat it because, well, raw eggs typically are not the best thing to be eating. However, cookie dough ice cream gives everyone the perfect opportunity to indulge in one of those forbidden pleasures.

4. Mint Chip

Not everyone loves mint, but for those of us who do, mint chip is one of the best flavors out there. The combination of cold ice cream with the cool flavor and some chocolate chips thrown in to top it all off is extraordinary.

5. Black Raspberry

This is truly the underrated flavor. Stop passing it up, be adventurous and give it a try.

6. Cookies and Cream

This flavor is literally Oreos in ice cream. It is important.

7. Häagan-Daz Triple Chocolate Crispy Layers Ice Cream

This is a very specific flavor but definitely worth trying. Really, anything that is triple chocolate is worth trying.

8. Perry's Ice Cream RIT Special

This is vanilla ice cream with chocolate covered pretzels. RIT knows what they are doing with ice cream.

9. Rocky Road

Chocolate ice cream, nuts, and marshmallows. What more can you ask for? Rocky Road is a must have ice cream flavor.

10. Maple Walnut

My friend called this a "grandma flavor" but it is suitable for all ages to enjoy. For a little bit of walnut in a maple ice-cream flavor, try some maple walnut ice cream.

11. Moose Tracks

Moose tracks is a wonderful kind of ice cream that typically consists of peanut butter cups in vanilla ice cream, but it can come with all kinds of flavors including mint, chocolate and brownie. If you are a peanut butter lover, then there is no question that you should try this ice cream.

12. Butter Pecan 

Vanilla ice cream with added pecans and the slightest buttery taste. Who can ignore butter pecan?

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
