This list is in no particular order. I enjoy all of these foods VERY much.

Pizza (the greasier, the better)

Giphy

Whether it is Chicago style, New York style, or somewhere in between, pizza is one of my guiltiest pleasures. I'M OBSESSED. There are gluten-free and lactose-free alternatives for anyone that can't (or chooses not to) eat them. The toppings can range everywhere from cheese to meat lovers to Hawaiian style. The limits are almost endless, and "dessert" pizzas just add to the variety.

Chicken and Waffles

Giphy

There's just something about fried chicken and syrup-covered waffles that just SCREAMS southern comfort food. This is a meal that even my high school in a small town in Missouri can't mess up.

Macaroni and Cheese

Giphy

This cheesy confection is good off the stove or baked in the oven! You can even add bacon bits for a little crunch and extra comfort food points!

Grilled Cheese

Giphy

I'm starting to see a pattern of cheese in these comfort foods, but it just makes sense! I, personally, make a GREAT grilled cheese. My trick? Double cheese!

Chips and Queso (or queso with any mexican food)

Giphy

I LOVE QUESO! I will even dunk my cheese quesadillas in queso! MORE CHEESE!

Toasted Ravioli

Giphy

A very common appetizer in the St. Louis area is toasted ravioli. This toasted pasta is something I require on almost every trip to St. Louis. It's a whole new level of pasta eating.

Tacos

Giphy

This easily-customized food is something that everyone can enjoy! From "hard" tacos to "soft" tacos, it's hard to not enjoy this iconic Mexican dish.

Ice cream

Giphy

Comfort food doesn't always have to be hot! This freezing dessert is a comfort food that even toddlers will demand. There's a reason that some people buy ice cream after a breakup... COMFORT!

Donuts

Giphy

This beautiful sugar-covered food is something that I can scarf down a whole box of when I need the comfort. From glazed to jelly-filled, these delectable treats are definitely drool-worthy.

Chocolate

Giphy

Chocolate is a very useful tool to make normal food feel a bit more guilty. The list can go on forever... including: cake, pie, cookies, ice cream, chocolate bars, and brownies.

Burger and Fries

Giphy

Last, but definitely not least, is this iconic American duo. A simple, yet amazing pair. Burgers and fries can be super filling and EXTREMELY comforting. A juicy burger and well-seasoned fries can do wonders for my mood.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
