A Love Letter To Chocolate

You are my biggest weakness.

Dearest Chocolate,

I am going to take this opportunity to tell you how much you mean to me…

When I was first introduced to you, probably nineteen years ago, my life changed for the better. My taste buds went crazy, and I fell in love with your creamy, rich goodness instantly.

As the years went by, I gained a deeper appreciation for you. I realized more and more that you were able to completely change my mood and make me a happier person. If I was ever experiencing a bad day, I knew that I could turn to you and then regret my sweet-binge later on.

Thank you for offering me compliments every time I open up one of your Dove chocolates. Thank you for reminding me that treating myself is okay, and that it is something that I should do in life more often. Thanks for being the epitome of perfection, especially when I need to satisfy my sweet-tooth.

One of the reasons that I adore you the most is because you take on so many forms and you’re always amazing. Nutella…don’t even get me started. Ice cream with magic shell…unbelievable combination. S’mores…mouth-watering. Fudgy brownies make me weak. Reese’s peanut butter cups…dynamic duo. Okay, I think you get the point.

I know that our relationship has been complicated at some points due to your high calorie content. I know that you’re considered somewhat healthy in your dark form, but I prefer milk. I understand that you are not the greatest thing for me to eat, but I can’t deny that you will always be a constant companion of mine.

Nothing is there to comfort me like you do when times get tough, or when I’m really stressed out. You are always available to make me feel better and make me a happier version of myself.

We have definitely had our share of rough patches throughout my life. When I started hitting my teenager years, I realized that I could no longer eat as much of you as I want. This is when I knew that you were both a blessing and a curse in my life. Too much of you would result in weight gain and would make me feel bad about myself.

This is when I started making an effort to avoid you in order to feel better and look better. Honestly, the problem was never you, it was just me understanding the importance of self-control. I also learned to appreciate you more because I would only have you in small portions. I have my moments when I need more of you than I should consume, but for the most part I have learned that you are a delicacy and that overindulging is not a positive aspect of the relationship that we share.

I don’t think that I will ever get sick of you. Nothing compares to the mouth-watering aroma that you release and your sugary taste. I always look forward to having chocolate cake on my birthday, pudding pie on Thanksgiving, hot chocolate during the cold wintery days, and all of the chocolate candy bars that you can think of on Halloween. Your taste is incredibly satisfying; I wouldn’t trade you for anything else in this world.

Love Always,

A Chocolate Lover

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
