The 5 Best Foods To Have On A Deserted Island (And 5 Worst)

We've all heard the question, "If you had to live on a deserted island with only five food options, what would they be?"

1. Chicken Nuggets

Anywhere. Any time. Any kind. Just give me the 'nugs. That is all.

2. Peanut Butter

It goes on anything. Put it on waffles or toast in the morning, make a sandwich or pack fruit and a container of peanut butter for lunch; for dinner, prepare a delicious tomato-peanut soup for a surprisingly good entrée. One rule: it must be creamy peanut butter.


3. Grilled Cheese

Like peanut butter, grilled cheese is one of those foods that are good for any meal of the day and are easy to make. Need breakfast? Make a grilled cheese sandwich and throw some bacon and eggs in the middle. Lunch time? Eat a plain grilled cheese sandwich with some french fries. Add tomato soup on the side and dip both the sandwich and the fries in it. For dinner? Whip up a grilled cheese sandwich and throw some lunch meat or whatever floats your goat in between. See? Grilled cheese is AMAZING.


4. Soup

In general, I am a cold person. I can always be found wearing sweatpants and a sweatshirt, no matter how hot it is outside. My family and I joke that my body temperature is ten degrees colder than the average human body’s temperature. That being said, soup (any kind) is typically served warm. When I eat soup, the heat from the soup warms my insides and makes me really happy.


5. Monkey Bread

Although I have only had this sweet, delicious, sticky treat a few times, it is one of those tastes that never leaves you. The “bread” (really biscuits squished together) is so soft, and the messy brown sugar and butter icing is to die for. 10/10 would recommend.

P.S. The best way to eat monkey bread is by picking at it.

And now, the top five foods I would hate to have on a deserted island with me:

1. Carrots

I will actually eat them on occasion, but let me just say this: carrots are sketchy. When you first see them, you notice their bright, vibrant, orange color which leads your brain to think, “These are going to be so fun and delicious to eat!” Then, you take a bite and it is hard and crunchy and takes a lot of effort to chew. It just makes me strangely uncomfortable and weirded out. Baby carrots are especially sketchy. They are creepy, downsized shaved versions of regular carrots. And those little stringy carrots that go on salad sometimes...just no.

2. Tuna

I am not one to judge a food based on its smell. I like swiss cheese and bleu cheese, on occasion. But for some reason I cannot get past the smell of tuna. I absolutely love all kinds of fish - perch, walleye, salmon, tilapia - but not tuna. The smell is just too strong and is not appetizing. Some of you may be thinking, “Oh, suck it up, buttercup,” but let me say I did try tuna way back in the day. It did not go well. Therefore, I do not like tuna.

3. Ranch Dressing

This is one I know I am going to get a lot of backlash for. I can’t quite put my finger on it but I cannot stand the taste of ranch dressing. The only exception is dipping my pizza in it, but that’s another story. Anyway, ranch has this taste that I can't seem to describe, and maybe that is why I do not like it. The world may never know.

4. Doritos

One time, when I was about six or seven years old, my family pulled out a bag of Doritos and ate them while we played video games. I hadn’t eaten much of them, but a few hours later, I threw up not once, not twice, but six times that night. I was completely fine the next day. I blame it on the Doritos because I felt perfectly fine before I ate them, but during the processing of eating them was when I felt a little uneasy. It’s nothing personal against Frito-Lay, just a bad experience.

5. Chocolate Ice Cream

I thoroughly enjoy other types of ice cream with chocolate in them, such as moose tracks, mint chocolate chip, cookies and cream, black raspberry chip, just not regular chocolate ice cream. It tastes too "fake." However, I love chocolate milk. I know, I don’t understand it either.

Team vanilla ice cream...unite!!!!

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
