Candies I Don't Get

When I think of Toblerone, I think of Joey Tribbiani.

Candies I Don't Get

I’m not a huge candy fan, in general. But there are some candies that are too ridiculous for even me to comprehend. Grow up and eat a Reese's like a human with some actual taste.

Here comes the shame.

1. Toblerone

When I think of Toblerone, I think of Joey Tribbiani. If you watched Friends as religiously as I do, you’ll get it. If not, sorry. But really, I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who truly likes Toblerone. Isn’t it just one of those candies you buy someone you hate when you forgot to get them a gift for their birthday or Easter or maybe when you get back from a trip? Who actually picks this for their own pleasure?


2. Neccos

What the heck are Neccos? I know they're old and classic or whatever, but times have changed. We have Smarties now. It’s time to dismiss these, “sugar, corn syrup, gelatin, gums, colorings, and flavorings,” flavored crap.


3. Skittles

I can feel the hate already. I have honestly never understood Skittles, unless they are of the sour variety. They taste like if you ate a piece of fruit, regurgitated it, added sugar, and hardened it into a candy. Now is that appetizing? No. Give it up. Skittles are the gross cousin to delicious M&Ms.


4. Pixie Stix

So, one day, someone sitting in an office said, “Hey I bet if we just put sugar in a sealed straw kids will go crazy for it,” and now he’s rich and we’re stupid. Honestly, just take a spoonful of regular sugar, eat it, and save the money.


5. Tootsie Rolls

My brother’s favorite candy used to be Tootsie Rolls, but, now that I think about it, what even is the flavor of these things? Is it chocolate? If so: wow, step it up. Doesn’t taste like chocolate at all. Plus try eating these candies with braces. Might as well just hand your orthodontist a check for $5,000 up front, you’re done for.

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

Actually, Kylie Jenner, 2018 is the year of realizing things.

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
