A Definitive Ranking Of Girl Scout Cookies

Girl Scout cookies are a cornerstone of the American experience. Nothing is more American than supporting your local Girl Scout troop by stuffing your face with factory produced pastries. Nothing. Not even apple pie. Don't even come at me with the Keebler imitations because you might as well slap an eight year old girl in the face for not supporting her dreams. Anyway, without further ranting, here is your definitive ranking of Girl Scout cookies.

8. Trefoils

Maybe it's because I was a fat kid, but I've never liked plain desserts. Why have boring shortbread when all the other cookies have chocolate, peanut butter, or other sugary add-ons? Don't get me wrong, shortbread is okay. Just okay. Never trust someone who says their favorite type of cookie is shortbread. Their favorite color is also probably grey.

7. Toffee-Tastic

Okay the fact that one box one contains one sleeve is already a point against them. Girl Scout cookies ain't cheap. I mean toffee is okay, but everyone knows it lives in the shadow of caramel. "Okay" doesn't cut it in this fierce competition.

6. Savannah Smiles

The Girl Scouts came out with like 5 different lemon flavored cookies for some reason and this one is still being sold. The texture is super weird. Is it crunchy? Creamy? Both? Why is a cookie making me so confused? At least it's as refreshing as a cookie drowning in powered sugar can be.

5. Girl Scout S'mores

I love s'mores. I love cookies. Enough said. Sandwich cookies are on another level, and this cookie brings it.

4. Do-si-dos

Peanut butter is easily mankind's greatest invention. And a cookie sandwich for is even better. Oatmeal cookies? Genius. Fun name? Also genius.

3. Tagalongs

MORE PEANUT BUTTER. Edges out Do-si-dos because of the chocolate. That being said, it's almost too sweet. Like if I'll get sick if I have more than two. Still amazing and reminds me of a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.

2. Thin Mints

The mint and chocolate combination is mankind's second greatest invention. Numbers don't lie, and they're the most popular Girl Scout cookie with a whopping quarter of all Girl Scout cookie sales. The only drawback is that they're so thin, you can quaff a box in no time. Have them frozen.

1. Samoas

The GOAT. Caramel, chocolate, and coconut can't be beat. The Girl Scouts were trendy before people insisted on eating straight coconut oil and having coconut water run through their veins. Sorry Becky from pilates class, The Girl Scouts beat you with a delicious cookie.

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.

It's easier than you think.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

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.
