5 Incredibly Simple DIY Snacks For This Halloween
One Little Project

Throughout my time on Pinterest I have learned that not everything can be completed by the average human, not to mention a broke college student with limited resources. No, I cannot afford every product in your makeup tutorial. Yes, I want to make a chandelier out of sticks in the forest and a giant balloon, but do I have the products? Not at all. So for this Halloween I wanted to make a list of the easiest Pinterest do it yourself snacks with limited supplies for the less talented, people on budgets, and just plain lazy people. This ones for you, my friends.

1.) Halloween Pretzels

From Butter With A Side Of Bread's article on how to make Halloween pretzels three ways comes the cutest pretzel snack ever. They introduce the pumpkin pretzel, the alien pretzel, and the mummy pretzel from simple ingredients such as Candy Melts, M&Ms, coconut oil, and pretzels. You can get the full instructions on the page! So simple, yet so adorable.

2.) Monster Krispies


While you are completing your Halloween pretzels, keep the Candy Melt out for this next snack! From One Little Projects' website comes how to make monster krispies. All you need is some Candy Melt in vibrant colors, candy eyes, cooking oil, and a bunch of Rice Krispies. Seems like a perfect after trick-or-treating snack.

3.) Pumpkin Rice Krispie Treats


From your leftover Rice Krispies from the previous recipe, you can try this pumpkin rice krispie treat recipe from Cincy Shopper! All you need is 6 Cups Rice Krispie Cereal, 3 tbs butter, 1 bag of marshmallows, red & yellow food coloring, 12 Tootsie Rolls, 1 Green Fruit Roll-up for her exact size amounts. She gives great step by step directions that anyone can follow.

4.) Harvest Hash Chex Mix

Again from One Little Project's website comes Harvest Hash Chex Mix! Just pile Rice Chex cereal, pretzels, bugles, candy corn, candy corn pumpkins, and Reece's Pieces in a bowl, mix it up, and let the magic of this salty and sweet combination take you through Halloween.

5.) Zombie Brain Cupcakes


Lastly, I present to you Zombie Brain Cupcakes from Sugar Hero's website. This can really work with any cupcake recipe, the cute Halloween aspect comes from the design on top. With a piping tool (or a plastic bag with a hole in it) and some pink frosting, you can create your own zombie brains! Anyone can complete this sweet design just in time for Halloween.


Hopefully this has satisfied the cravings of my fellow less talented, budget conscious, and just plain lazy people. Shoutout to you, my friends. Happy Halloween!!

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
