10.  Toblerone Fun Size

i.makeagif.com

Per Fun Size bar: 66 calories, 3.6 g fat (1 g saturated), 7.4 g sugar

The little triangle treat that makes you feel fancy. These may not be as impressive as the giant ones you can find at the airport, but they're still fun to nibble at.

9. Hershey’s Kisses

Per 3 pieces: 67 calories, 4 g fat (2.4 g saturated), 7.7 g sugar

MWAH. Perfect. Just a little bit. And you get three whole kisses!!

8. Nestle Crunch Fun Size

media.giphy.com

Per Fun Size bar: 60 calories, 3 g fat (2 g saturated), 7 g sugar

Just that little bit of fake chocolatey goodness to get you through the day.

7. Kit Kat Snack Size

Per Fun Size bar: 70 calories, 3.6 g fat (2.3 g saturated), 7 g sugar

It's like two bars for the sweet, crunchy caloric-price of one.

6. York Peppermint Pattie Snack Size

media.giphy.com

Per Snack Size patty: 60 calories, 1.25 g fat (.75 g saturated), 11 g sugar

They're basically giant, less creamy Junior Mints, so you can eat one instead of feeling guilty about downing an entire box.

5. Nerds Fun Size

thumbs.gfycat.com

Per Fun Size pack: 50 calories, 0 g fat, 12 g sugar

The little box of joy that functions both as a tasty treat and a method of mocking your friends, these little guys are just all around entertaining.

4. Tootsie Pop

Per pop: 60 calories, 0 g fat, 10 g sugar

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop? Well, apparently about 364, but you can be the judge of it.

3. Smarties Candy Rolls

thumbs.gfycat.com

Per roll: 25 calories, 0 g fat, 6 g sugar

I'm personally incredibly biased toward these little suckers, but they're honestly great since you feel satisfied after just one little roll of them (and you can enjoy them slowly or all at once).

2. Pixy Stix

i.imgur.com

Per straw: 9 calories, 0 g fat, 2.1 g sugar

Ah yes, the original crack-in-a-tube. Sour, sweet, and just the right amount of tang, it'll definitely kick your craving in the balls.

1. Jelly Belly Jelly Beans Mini Pack

media1.tenor.com

Per pack: 35 calories, 0 g fat, 7 g sugar

Although these may seem very plain jane in comparison to the other candy on this list, they are objectively the healthiest (and I really cannot imagine wanting to sit down and eat a whole bowl of these -- just the one small pack is perfect for me, thank you). There's a multitude of flavors that leave you guessing and wanting a couple more, but then that black licorice one comes along...and ugh...you're good with that whole "candy business" for a while...

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.

"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.

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.
