10 Words That The B in IHOP’s New Name Should Have Been INSTEAD Of Burgers

Because obviously they've never heard of the phrase “if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

So, IHOP is now IHOb. And the "b" stands for burgers. OK.

Here are 10 things that would have made so much more sense.

1. Biscuits

If you're a born Southerner like me, biscuits have a special place in your heart (most likely your coronary arteries). They're perfect for any meal, and they go with just about anything.

2. Bacon

Giphy

Another food that has a place in my heart, bacon is the best add-on for any meal (if it's not already the main course). If it's savory, crispy, and delectable, it might just be bacon.

3. Bears. Beets. Battle Star Galactica.

Giphy

Is it too much to ask that they become a restaurant focused on "The Office"? I'm picturing it now: beet flavored pancakes, generic birthday decorations, and some type of cake (hopefully not carrot).

4. Brooke

Hopefully, the owners of IHOP have decided to gift me their breakfast franchise. I will graciously accept the new International House of Brooke and will offer free breakfast to all college students.

5. Blockbuster

Giphy

Reviving an old franchise could liven up the IHOP atmosphere. Imagine breakfast and "The Breakfast Club." After all, who doesn't love dinner AND a show?

6. Beyoncé

Giphy

It makes sense. Queen B's voice is as smooth as honey, so why shouldn't she rule an empire just as sweet? She always has hot sauce in her bag (which is great on IHOP's hash browns), so it should be of no surprise that IHOP decided to recognize her.

7. Butter

Giphy

As my step-father used to say, “Everything's better with a little butter." Breakfast is no exception! Who doesn't love that little butter square on their pancakes?

8. Books

Giphy

Not unlike a library (which would be horribly sticky when pancakes are involved), IHOP could be focused on a kid's only section. They could hire a reader to take kids on a journey through fantasy lands while they ate breakfast. It could also give parents a chance to enjoy their food for once.

9. Bachelor's Degree

Giphy

Finally putting that degree to some good use, IHOP could be celebrating the nation's attempt to further education. Anyone with a bachelor's degree could join the exclusive International House of Bachelor's club and receive free breakfast for life (or just one buttermilk pancake, either is fine with me).

10. Breakfast

Giphy

Honestly the most believable one on this list, the new IHOb could be the International House of Breakfast. Considering that IHOP offers crepes, bacon, eggs, chicken, waffles, and french toast, along with many other items, they may be trying to break away from only being known for their pancakes.

10 Things Only Equestrians Understand

Yes, it IS a sport. Yes, I fall all the time. No, I do not ride in jeans with a cowgirl hat on.

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. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

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.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

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.

Sometimes my brain just starts turning on an idea and it doesn't want to stop.

I don't know if it is related to my anxiety, perfectionism or depression. I don't know why it happens. It's frustrating, it's painful and it stops me from functioning.
