Yes! Mom packed me a Capri Sun.

Bon Appetit

1. Capri Sun

I still have a weak spot for Cherry Capri Sun, because every time I take a sip it's almost like I am 5 years old again playing outside and stopping for a quick drink break.

2. Graham Crackers/ Teddy Grahams

We are going way back to preschool with this one, where things were simpler and the biggest heartache was when you didn't get the cool crayon box with the crayon sharpener built into it.

3. Goldfish

Still a staple in my diet, these were/are the best. Since I work in a daycare, I am around them constantly, and probably 90% of kids bring them daily to get some fuel after playing an intense round of tag.

4. Chicken Nuggets

I'm not talking about dinosaur nuggets, because I do not remember ever eating them, but you really cannot beat the classic nugget.

5. Shaped Macaroni and Cheese

I couldn't tell you why, but I absolutely love the shaped Macaroni, i.e. Spongebob, or Star Wars, or Frozen. It tastes 100 times better than normal macaroni and you always knew that it was a special day when mom came home with shaped macaroni and cheese.

6. Lunchables

It was never a field trip day without this staple lunch. The pizza one was the best lunch that I could ask for, and it was just as great as having the day off of school .

7. PB&J

This is the first thing that I learned how to "cook" as a kid, and it still shows because at the age of 21 I still make this multiple times a week. However, I absolutely have to have grape jelly, otherwise it isn't a true PB&J. Don't fight me on this.

8. Spaghetti O's

This wasn't my favorite as a kid, but I know I ate it pretty often. Kids love easy foods, and I'm sure my parents loved that I liked it.

9. Popsicles (either Flav-or-ice, or Push Pops)


These were the absolute best when it was 100 degrees, and running through the sprinkler. You could get so many different colors, and it just screams summer time. There was nothing better than sucking out all of the juice at the bottom of the Flav-or-ice!

10. HUGS

These were the little barrel juice boxes that actually aren't that great nowadays but they rocked as a kid. We used to get giant boxes of them, and I swear the whole box would be gone in a day. The whole neighborhood would come around and hang out at night, and the kids would all grab their hugs and hang out with each other and our parents.

11. Dunkaroos

Graham cracks + vanilla frosting + sprinkles = most popular kid at the lunch table.

12. String Cheese

Cheese that you can peel. Brilliant.

13. Chocolate Milk


We all got this during nap time when we were way young, so it was practically programmed into our minds as a treat even as we grew older.

14. Gushers

Fruit snacks that exploded with more flavorful goo. It's not rocket science.

15. Pizza

This was served on Fridays and symbolized freedom in addition to being delicious.

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!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. 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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
