Growing up, my mom is a huge fan of potato chips, so I learned great things to pair with potato chips, which lead to me pairing other snack foods with . I know this is going to sound weird, but here are the best things that pair with snack foods, or what to dip snack foods in.

Potato Chips and Ketchup

I know that this is a common combination, but there are people that still find this a weird combination. I believe that the sweetness of the ketchup (I know that we do not think of ketchup as sweet, but with potato chips it is) and the saltiness of the potato chips just makes the perfect combination. I figured that this would be a good one to start out with, because it is more common.

Potato Chips and Red Sauce

Yes, dipping potato chips in marinara sauce is really amazing. The saltiness of the potato chips and the flavor of the sauce just makes it an fantastic combination. Pretty much pairing this with anything that has tomatoes is amazing.

Pretzels and Pickle Juice

I know this sounds weird, but don't knock it until you try it. I think it is the right amount of saltiness with the pretzels and sour with the pickle juice (or sweet for me since I only like bread and butter pickles), that it is just a great combination.

Pretzels and Potato Chips

I know that this is two common snack foods, but put them together and it is amazing. Probably the greasiness of the potato and the dryness of the pretzels is delicious. Try it the next time that you are craving both! It will be worth it.

Potato Chips on Sandwiches

I know that many people love this, but it is still not as common as it should be. It is divine to have the crunch of the potato chips on a soft sandwich. It is the perfect pairing, and needs to be a common thing like soon! Whether it be a sub, grinder, HAMBURGER, or any sandwich, give it a try!

And one lunch food combination:

Grilled Cheese and Red Sauce

You have no idea what you are missing. Rather than dipping it in tomato soup like normal, try dipping it in marinara sauce! It is almost like tomato soup, but saltier and not as soupy. It is almost like mozzarella sticks and marinara sauce, but so much better and not as greasy! It is a healthy alternative to what you are craving!

Next time you have no idea what to eat, give one of these combinations a try!

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

11 Ways To Live The Best Life You Can

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

Sam Houston State University

Life is all about twist and turns, sideways and which ways. Nothing is permanent, so we should take risks, and chase our dreams. We are taught at a young age many lessons that will follow us into adulthood. What we aren't taught is how to feel, and how we handle those emotions. We just have to figure them out ourselves, and that's not fun. In my 21 years of living, I have come to know that way too many people can't handle emotions, or the fact that not everyone is dead inside like them. When you're like me, and you have zero control over your emotions, it's hard to feel comfortable around people who aren't so in touch with themselves. As much as I would like to feel nothing at times, I've accepted who I am and the fact that I can cry over practically nothing. So, there are some things in life that you just have to do.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

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.

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

1. Wallow.

2. Cry.

3. Get Angry.

4. Tell Someone You Love Them.

5. Forgive.

6. Let go of the negative people in your life.

7. Be yourself.

8. Swallow Your Pride.

9. Stop Freaking Out Over Your Body.

10. Say No.

11. Accept Love.
