Forget The Holiday Food, Let's Appreciate The Other Foods We Eat All Year Round

Turkey and ham are the two biggest holiday foods, and while they are nice we never stop to appreciate the foods we eat all year long. You always read lists of what to make for holiday dinners, but no one ever makes a list of foods to eat when we aren't being merry.

To all the vegetarians out there, this list may not be for you.

Cheeseburger

Of course, I have to start with a classic. The cheeseburger has mended so many broken hearts over the years. So I needed to thank it by putting it first on this list.

Pizza

Any kind of pizza, doesn't matter. All of it is good. Maybe not Hawaiian, sorry mom.

Pasta

Who else eats pasta like this?

French fries

My personal favorite. To all the people who consider fries just a side to the main meal - I don't understand. French fries deserve to be the main course.

Ribs

The ones that fall off the bone are the best - don't question it.

Tacos/burritos

All Mexican food is just absolutely amazing.

Mozzarella sticks

Like French fries, mozzarella sticks deserve more recognition. They're amazing, and that's coming from someone who doesn't really like cheese.

Waffles

All breakfast food is magnificent, but waffles are definitely my favorite.

Chicken tenders

Everyone is a kid at heart so why is it taboo for adults to enjoy chicken tenders? I don't understand the stigma against adults enjoying a perfectly good food like chicken tenders. Someone, please explain.

Chocolate cake

Cake or pie? Cake wins every time in my heart.

No matter how much I enjoy my stuffing and cranberries, there is something about an eight-ounce steak that makes the world so much better.

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.

We often forget to thank them for the little things that they do to make college even a tiny bit easier and more fun. This list of 26 things are what you should thank your roommates for right this minute and every day that you live with them.
