I Tried Pumpkin Stuff So You Don't Have To

If you haven't noticed yet, October is here, which means it is now Halloween month. Not only do all the spooky scary decorations come forth, but all the candy and junk food you could ever want is here. Even normal food gets into the spirit as LITERALLY EVERYTHING IS MADE WITH PUMPKIN.

We got pumpkin cereal, pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin beer, pumpkin candy corn, and if it isn't pumpkin flavored, it's at least pumpkin shaped (I'm looking at you Reese's).

I've compiled an extensive list of all the pumpkin stuff I've seen and tried and decided whether or not it was worth it for you to try as well. You're welcome.

1. Blue Moon Pumpkin Beer:

I was skeptical at first about pumpkin beer, but it was actually quite nice. It had all the gross flavor of a normal beer but slightly masked by the great pumpkin pie spices. 3/5 would recommend.

2. Trader Joe's Pumpkin O's:

A twist on their normal Cheerio knockoffs, the Pumpkin O's bring a holiday twist to the normal, dry cereal. One would think, "Hey, maybe it's a bit much to start my day with the actual taste of pumpkin pie", but who cares. 4/5.

3. The Classic PSL(Pumpkin Spice Latte for you noobs out there):

If you haven't had a PSL then literally what are you doing with your life. Get out. 5/5 basic white girl alert.

4. Pumpkin Pancakes:

They were okay. Little too much pumpkin and not enough syrup. Lame amirite? 3/5.

5. Pumpkin Pasta:

Yeah, it's a thing. and it's weird. Don't do it. Especially with the pumpkin vodka sauce. Eh 1/5 gross.

6. Pumpkin Scones:

So good. Very moist and lovely with the light glaze over the top. 5/5.

7. Pumpkin Spice Oreos:

How about no? Okay? Oreos were just fine before pumpkin spice sir. I don't need your pumpkin influence. 2/5.

8. Pumpkin Candy Corn:

Again, can we let perfection be perfection? Leave candy corn alone. 0/5

9. Pumpkin Ice Cream:

Surprisingly really creamy and delicious and full of pumpkin pie goodness. I can only find it at the organic type of whole foods stores but you can probably buy it at WalMart or something. 4/5.

10. And finally, Good Ol' Fashion Pumpkin Pie:

Well, duh. Pass the whipped cream. 10/5 best thing ever.

I don't know if this list is helpful and I hope no one actually eats as much pumpkin as I do. You might turn orange. Or is that carrots? Who knows.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

109

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

Being A Senior: The Best And Worst Of It

Graduation is coming.

Loyola University Chicago

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.

Stetson University

Zimbio

Ah, Ms. Chanandler Bong, or Chandler Bing as he is better known as. For 10 years, Chandler brought us many laughs, many tears, and, well, Matthew Perry's fame. He is, personally, my favorite character on "Friends" because he made me laugh more than any other character on the show and I felt like I could relate to him more than the other characters on the show. Anyway, here are 10 Chandler Bing quotes that anyone can relate to... or graduates can at least...
