What's better than a starchy vegetable that can take on just about any form? Trick question, nothing. The most beloved and versatile of foods, the potato offers enough forms and variability for just about everyone. Potatoes can find their way into any meal at any time of day, they're just that good. Below, a recognition of ten forms of potato for a simple potato appreciation post.

1. Baked potatoes.

Warm, soft, and tasty. The baked potato is the food equivalent of a comforting hug from your grandma.

2. Tater Tots.

You can't eat less than about 20 something of these bad boys. No shame.

3. Loaded potatoes.

Like the baked potato, but on steroids. The toppings make this a meal all by itself. Truly one of a kind.

4. Roasted potatoes.

As the perfect side dish, the crisp outside and melt in your mouth inside of these are sure to make every meal just that much better.

5. Potato Wedges.

Basically, chunky french fries. But also fancier. The grown-up version of french fries?

6. Hash browns.

Is it really a complete breakfast if you don't have a pile of too much hash browns right there on your plate? I think we all know the answer to that question.

7. French fries.

Shoestring french fries, crinkle cut french fries, sweet potato french fries, spicy french fries, curly french fries, waffle french fries, french fries with cheese. Enough said.

8. Mashed potatoes.

Buttery, creamy, and delicious. Plus, anytime you have mashed potatoes, you can almost feel a little bit of Thanksgiving right on your tongue.

9. Potato chips.

Everyone's go-to snack. Nothing can compare to the sheer simplicity and perfection that are potato chips. So go ahead, keep crunching.

10. Latkes.

Not as common as these other forms of potatoes, but just as delightful. With these potato pancakes, you have the choice of either going sweet (using apple sauce as a dip) or savory (using sour cream as a dip.) Latkes aren't just for Hanukah, anymore.

Potatoes: the ultimate fan favorite. Like a caring best friend, potatoes are reliable and always there for you no matter what kind of food you're in the mood to eat. So go ahead, pick one of the endless options of potatoes and be sure to enjoy yourself.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
