Haters Gonna Hate, Potatoes Gonna Potate

This one is for the unsung hero that is the potato. It’s not a by-product of animals and can be served in dozens of ways -- perfect for everyone. I am sure everyone already has a favorite food of pizza, ice cream, pasta… but let’s just share our appreciation for one of the most unsung heroes of our lives. So I give you 20 reasons potatoes are amazing: (in no particular order)

1. Baked Potatoes

2. Fries, Fries & more Fries

Frenched…

Chipped…

Wedged…

Curled...

Seasoned...

Waffled...

Steaked...

Crinkled...

3. Grilled

4. Soups & Stews

5. Chips!!!

6. Scalloped

7. Potatoes Skins... am I right?

8. Mashed

9. Au Gratin

10. TATER TOTS

11. SMILEY FRIES!!!

12. Home Fries

13. Even in salad form...

And even more including all of the above, sweet potatoes have even more possibilities.

14. Pies

15. Cupcakes

16. Waffles

17. Bread

18. Biscuits

19. LET'S NOT FORGET THE TOPPINGS/DIPS

Ketchup/mustard (...duh), ranch (try it, I promise you won’t be disappointed), milkshakes (especially Frosties), cheese, chili, gravy, bacon, sour cream and so many more toppings.

And finally the non-edible kind (unless you're a small child), but still one of the greatest kinds there is:

Anyway, that you might enjoy them… they are just that great. So from now on before you dig into that brown spud, maybe we’ll appreciate it a little bit more. And so I'll leave you with this...

It would be so much easier to just pay someone to do it for you

1. Figuring out when to start

2. Searching through list after list to get everything you need

3. Shopping for deals

4. Getting bins to put everything in

5. Figuring what you can’t live without

6. Going through clothes to find what you need

7. Finding out your siblings took something from you

8. Fighting with your parents.

9. Trying to plan things with your roommate

10. The fear of forgetting something

11. Move in day

Relatable moments from one of the best shows I have ever watched.

1. When you fail that midterm you studied so hard for.

2. When your crush finally texts back.

3. When payday comes around.

4. When you accidentally like someone's picture from 108 weeks ago.

5. When someone takes your unassigned assigned seat.

6. When your favorite character in your favorite TV series dies.

7. When that guy/girl you’ve been crushing on agrees to go on a date with you.

8. When you have so much to do, and such little motivation to do it.

9. When someone asks for your last fry.

10. When you try a new health-food craze.

11. When you get new clothing.

12. When you check your bank account.

13. When they're serving good food in the dining hall.

14. When someone tries to tell you what to do.

15. Or just your thoughts about life in general.

We all have that "I don't care" attitude.

1. Most students just take life day by day.

2. That means procrastinating, one day at a time.

3. College students don't mind dressing like crap sometimes.

4. In fact, dressing nice feels weird.

5. College students get so stressed that they contemplate dropping on a daily basis.

6. But most find another solution to deal with that stress.

7. And that solution can be pretty cheap. Anything over $5 is expensive.

8. One of the only things college students will spend money on is coffee.

9. College is just really expensive and you never forget how expensive it is.

10. But hey, we're getting a somewhat high-quality education, right?

11. We all really just want to pet dogs all day.

12. And eat pizza for every meal.

13. And stab the next person who asks us what we want to do with our life.

14. However, despite the stress and student loans, college is amazing and there's plenty of reasons to smile.

Thank you, April, for inspiring us with your wicked relatability.

Girls; they're notoriously late.

1. You spontaneously tried a new hairstyle....that you hated

2. You tried on 20 different outfits

3. You stabbed your eye with your mascara

4. You got caught stuck in bed checking social media

5. You were trying to impress someone

6. You forgot to check the weather

7. You just don't mind being THAT girl

8. You decided to wear shorts and realize you have to shave your legs

9. Your bed was just too warm compared to the Antarctic weather outside

10. You debated too long on skipping class

11. Your roommate steals the shower before you
