A while ago I saw a BuzzFeed video about candy you make yourself that looks like ramen, and I was shook. I knew I wanted to get it for my ramen-loving girlfriend and I. I went to Amazon and it turns out there are more candy kits than just the ramen! Kracie Popin Cookin has everything from ramen to donuts to hamburgers! They're extremely cheap off of Amazon, but they take a hot minute to ship. I think it's worth it, though. I ordered the ramen and shushi ones, and here's the adventure:

First stop, ramen town!

We had to look up English instructions online, but they're really easy to understand. We made the dumplings first, and it was a mess. It's really sticky and hard to work with, but it looked really cute after we got it right on our billionth try. After that, the steps are pretty simple! You get to make the soup, which is cola flavored, and squeeze the noodles through a little bag. They even have things to make an egg for decoration! One simple word of advice though: this is candy not meant for eating. You can try it, but it's not too good.

Operation ramen noodle was a success!


Next we made sushi!


This one was super fun, and I even liked it better than the ramen! There were 3 different types of sushi to make! Being the competitive couple we are, my girlfriend and I spent the whole time trying to make ours better than the other. This one was pretty simple. The only kinda frustrating part was shaping the "rice." The rest was a breeze! In the end, we had five pieces of slightly strange (but cute in their own way) candy sushi!


These also did not taste too great. The texture is nothing but the sound of a squish if that makes sense. But whatever. They're cute, and that's all that matters.


Overall, we had a blast making these, and I'm definitely gonna get more! I definitely recommend getting these for a cute little day full of candy and fun!

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
