One thing I'm missing at school is my kitchen at home, but not nearly as much as I'm missing the home-baked sweets made there. I come across a lot of delicious looking recipes on Pinterest, and have started a baking board so I can make them the next time I'm home! Enjoy looking at these 10 recipes, but maybe not while you're hungry!

1. Soft and chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies

I "didn't like oatmeal" until about two years ago. Really, I just didn't want to try it. Now, I have to make up for all of those years and try these divine looking cookies. The best part about this recipe? No raisins!

2. Flourless pumpkin muffins

I'll do fall vibes (and smells!) any time of year. Also, they're flourless!

3. Brownie bottom cookie dough cheesecake bars

Starbucks used to sell a cheesecake brownie bar that was SO good, but I believe they have gotten rid of it as I never see them in the display case anymore. These look like the perfect substitute!

4. Cinnamon donut holes

My friend once made these for a holiday party, and they are gone within a couple minutes- and it wasn't because she didn't make enough! They were just that good!

5. Soft pretzels

Nothing can compare to Auntie Anne's, but these might do the trick until my next shopping endeavor at the mall.

6. Classic rice krispies

You really can't beat a homemade, classic Rice Krispie treat. This one specifically looks better than average, so I'm anxious to try it out!

7. Chocolate chocolate chip cookies

I'm hoping these are the solution to my horrible spending habit of buying double chocolate chip Insomnia cookies very often. These look just as delicious!

8. Cinnamon cream cheese roll ups

YUM.

9. Funnel cakes

I'm very curious to see if homemade funnel cakes even compare to those at the carnival. With my baking skills, highly unlikely. But there's nothing some chocolate sauce and whipped cream can't fix!

10. Skillet s'mores

This will be perfect for the summer night I'm planning to have a bonfire, but then it starts raining.

If you weren't hungry when you started reading this article, I bet you are now! Please leave me a comment down below if you decide to try any of these recipes out for yourself! I would love to know your thoughts!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

The holiday season is full of stress, debt, and forced conversation. While we rush through the month of December, it's important to take a step back and enjoy the moments before they're gone. Most families love to watch Christmas movies, but these beloved films provide more than entertainment. Here are 10 life lessons that I've learned from the holiday classics we watch every year.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."

Hopefully they will make you laugh.
