Life Lessons From Potatoes
Washington State Potato Commission

We can learn a lot about life from potatoes. Potatoes can teach us important lessons about acceptance and body positivity. They're beautiful no matter what shape or size they take on. Potatoes are also proof that we can be anything we want to be. They've been keeping people alive for hundreds of years and can even be grown on Mars (that's real science and definitely not from a movie).


Potatoes can be made into long and skinny french fries that are salty and crispy.


Or they can be french fries that are chubby and short with lots of curves.


French fries can also be Canadian and slathered with cheese curds and gravy.


Waffle fries are french fries that sound like they're for breakfast but they're not (or are they?)


Hash browns also come in different shapes and sizes.


Potatoes bring families together every night with their creamy goodness.


Potatoes are naturally beautiful with just a little butter and salt.


Or potatoes can be just as beautiful with loaded with lots of yummy toppings.


Potatoes can even be fancy with caviar and creme fraiche.


No matter what color they are or whatever imperfections they have, all potatoes are beautiful.


There is really no wrong way to be a potato.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
