Dorm Room Desserts: Pumpkin Cake Balls

Welcome to Dorm Room Desserts, the ~easy and cheap~ recipe guide for all of us broke, lazy college students out there! (Sometimes you just want something sweet and gooey, am I right?) Halloween is on Monday, so, of course, it has to be PUMPKIN EVERYTHING! This is RIDICULOUSLY easy, cheap, and super cute.

The ingredients:

- 1 box pumpkin cake mix

- 1 tub cream cheese frosting

- 1 bag chocolate chips (can be white or orange, if you're feeling festive!)

- Halloween sprinkles

Here's how simple it is:

Bake the cake according to instructions on the box. Once cool, crumble the cake with the tub of cream cheese frosting until the cake mixture is the comparable consistency of cookie dough. Roll into roughly tablespoon-sized balls, and place on a baking sheet. Put the sheet in the freezer until the cake balls are frozen. Melt the chocolate, being careful not to burn in, and dip the cake balls into the melted chocolate until sufficiently covered. Set back on the baking sheet, and sprinkle with some festive decorations. Refrigerate until the chocolate is set, and enjoy!

Thank the food gods for this deliciousness, and enjoy!

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

14 Examples Of Twenty-Somethings #Adulting

#Adulting is hard.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

Sometimes bigger isn't always better.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

10 Times We All Related To Chandler Bing On A Spiritual Level

"I'm hopeless and awkward and desperate for love"

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.
