You're mad because its true.

Top 5 Most Overrated Foods

Disclaimer: you will be mad after this, and that is totally okay and also suggested.

5. Salad. Salad is one of the most worthless foods by itself. So before you come at me with pitchforks I am not saying all salads are worthless, just most of them. Salads are completely not sustaining; if you do not add some sort of protein to the salad you will be hungry again in less than 30 minutes. Even if you do add ingredients to a basic salad to make it taste better, by the time you are done it won't even be healthy for you anymore, thus taking away the only thing salad has going for it. There are many better tasting healthy options out there and you know it.

4. Nutella. Nutella is an okay concept. I understand that it has a cult following, but usually when something has a cult following it's because everyone knows it is not that good, but they feel it deserves love nonetheless. Nutella is a perfect example. It's essentially just less sweet chocolate peanut butter, but it wastes all that potential. It could be way better if it were simply chocolate peanut butter. Nutella does not deserve its hype.

3. Krispy Kreme donuts. Krispy Kreme may be the most inferior donut out there. There is very little separation between it and a donut found at a local grocery store. The best part about Krispy Kreme is that if you go inside you can see the donuts being made. Other than that, there is nothing special about their donuts. They are bland, lukewarm donuts that provide nothing unique and are not soft and comforting like a donut should be. If you want an actual donut go to Shipley's, or if you want outstanding donuts go to a mom and pop donut shop in your area.

2. Potato salad. Not going to lie, this one isn't all that controversial, it's just here for me to rant. Potato salad makes no sense. There are tons of ways to make potatoes taste good and salad is not one of them. Maybe I just have something against salads, or maybe adding a pound of mustard or mayonnaise to potatoes is just not a good idea. Spoiler alert: adding a pound of mayonnaise or mustard to anything is never a good idea! Think of all the options: mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, french fries, potato wedges, potato skins, literally anything is a better use of potatoes.

1. Bacon. That's right, I said it. Bacon lovers unite to come yell at me. Let's be honest: bacon is an okay accessory on burgers and is good for breakfast. But in no way does it deserve to have its own sandwich. The BLT is awful. Bacon cannot carry a sandwich like that. Bacon is okay on its own but we have no business throwing it into all sorts of things it has no business being associated with. For example: bacon flavored lollipops, bacon flavored ice cream. The taste simply is not that astounding. Im not saying it's awful, but it is extremely overrated.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
