20 S'mores Ideas That Will Change Your Life

Summer is sadly coming to a close. Those late nights around the bonfire will soon be replaced by late nights studying at the library. But don’t worry, you probably have some time left before your move-in day arrives. So, before your classes begin and your schedule is booked to the brim with welcome week activities, take these next few days to really soak up the rest of your summer. Take a break from packing and indulge in one of your favorite summertime activities. Whether this is that spontaneous camping trip, reading a book by the lake, or having that one last bonfire with your hometown friends, you deserve to make the most of the last days of summer break. One of my favorite things about summer is the s’mores. These iconic summertime treats are seriously addicting and can be found at almost any campfire. We all know that s’mores are delicious, but have you ever thought of all the s'mores possibilities? Well, they are honestly endless, and I wanted to compile a list of some of the unique ways you can spice up or totally transform your s’mores. So, get inspired and for your last summer get-together, I challenge you to try out one of these alterations to your typical s’more:

1. You could build your s’more in a banana. If you have ever stuffed peanut butter and chocolate into a banana, wrapped it in tinfoil and threw it in the fire to cook, this is initially the same idea, just with s’mores ingredients. Try using peanut butter, marshmallows, and chocolate, then sprinkle the top with some crushed up graham crackers. YUM!

2. Use Nutella instead of chocolate squares.

3. Add cookie dough to your s’more.

4. Dip your cooked marshmallows in Baileys and then create your s’more as usual.

5. If you don’t have access to a bonfire, make your s’mores inside in a cast iron skillet. Put plenty of chocolate chips in the bottom, and marshmallows on top, then bake until the marshmallows are nice and toasted. Use graham crackers to scoop up the melty, delicious s’mores, like a dip.

6. Make a peanut butter and jelly s’more. Smear peanut butter on one graham cracker and jelly on the other, then toast your marshmallow and stick in-between.

7. Or, if you want to get really crafty, make a peanut butter and jelly bacon s’morito, wrapped in a tortilla. Take your tortilla, smear peanut butter and jelly on the top of it, add chocolate, layer on a graham cracker, add on some bacon, and top with a couple of toasted marshmallows, then roll it up for something really different.

8. Use Keebler fudge striped cookies instead of graham crackers.

9. Or, use chocolate chip cookies instead.

10. Add a Cookies and Cream bar instead of the typical milk chocolate bar.

11. Or, use a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup.

12. Make a pretzel s’more.

13. Make a s’mores milkshake.

14. Sub white chocolate for the milk chocolate and add a slice of pineapple.

15. Use chocolate marshmallows, chocolate graham crackers, and dark chocolate for an ultimate chocolate s’more.

16. Make s’mores Crescent Rolls.

17. Use a Thin Mint patty instead of a chocolate square.

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.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
