Midterms Week As Told By Sour Patch Kids
Candy Crate

We just recently had midterms here. Luckily, I’m here writing this article so I survived. One of the biggest things that got me through this trying time was somebody that I know I can always count on. They’ll never leave me; I can always come to them in a moment of need. No, I’m not referring to my best friend… well, they might be my best friend… I’m referring to sour patch kids. These little dudes always come in clutch for me. They know when I need a boost and they’re always there to give it to me. As I was buried in studying I realized that my situation can be comparable to that of a sour patch kid.

Professors Are Like Sour Patch Kids Sometimes

“I’m not going to try and trick you on this midterm, I promise. ”Cool, he cares.I’m going to study hard so I’m actually ready for this midterm. I go to get my midterm; every multiple choice question has choices A-F and E is always all of the above and F is always none of the above. The matching is one of those some may be used more than once or not at all deals.Thanks Professor, I’m glad you weren’t trying to throw any of us off our game here. He cares though because he graded on a curve and it saved our lives.

That Horrible Moment When You Realize You Actually Should Have Read

When it’s 2AM And Sour Patch Kids Has You Taking Your Philosophy Too Seriously

What is the meaning of life? Why do we do what we do? Are we really good people? Why am I studying for this midterm? How is it going to make me a better person? DO SOUR PATCH KIDS HAVE SOUR PATCH PARENTS? These are just a few of the questions that plague me when I’m exhausted and just don’t want to learn anymore. Never mind the fact that these are deep philosophical questions so this technically counts as productive studying, right?

Midterms Are Literally The Boring Paper-Like Cousin To Sour Patch Kids

Midterms get a bad reputation (and they probably should), but they can be sweet.It’s terrible to study for them, to take them, and sometimes to get the grade back on them… wait, where was I going with this?

Thankfully, I survived the week thanks to my sour then sweet little buddies, and like midterms week, they’re all gone.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
