A guide to life collaboratively written by me in kindergarten and me now.

M & M Pie

This, my friends, is the best recipe in the history of the Odyssey online journal. This recipe combines history, ingenuity, creativity and mystery. Those words all encapsulate this incredibly important and fine-tuned recipe that, until now, has never been released to the public. This recipe has seen many years of life. For nearly 13 years it has floated in the atmosphere just waiting to be discovered, and I have found it.

I plan to give it its earned glory. This recipe for a dessert dish is so incredible that I have been hesitant to share it before, but I think I am finally ready to release it into the wind like aspen leaves in the fall. This recipe will change your life and it came from an extremely unlikely creator. A kindergarten student. Now, I know what your are thinking and I realize that spun you for a loop, but mark my words, this impeccable piece of culinary mastery is only possible to find deep in the constantly working synapses of a child’s mind. My gosh, I have waited for so many years for this day to come, and it is finally here. I can hardly control my emotions. This release is like the ribbon cutting for a new era in baking. Well, without further ado and fluffing, I present to you my very own kindergarten recipe for M & M Pie. Careful, you just might learn something.

M & M Pie

What you need:

4 pieces of M & M candy

2 Eggs

Chocolate Syrup

1 Cup sugar

More Sugar

More Eggs

Mix it up and bake the pie in the oven for 10 hours on five degrees. Take it out and cool it. Then eat it!

And so folks, there you have it: the imagination, ignorance and wonderful mind of a child all wrapped up into one fantastic recipe for M & M Pie.

Throw caution to the wind, do not be afraid to add more sugar or more eggs, even when you’re not quite sure how it will work out.

Mix it up. When you’re feeling dissatisfied with your life, seek out new opportunities that will make youhappy. You deserve it.

Persevere even when you’re not sure it will be worth the effort. Baking a pie for 10 hours on just five degrees might just leave you with cold dough, but maybe that’ll be the next big thing (I can see it now… “fro dough”). Forget the temperature. If you put in the time and effort, perhaps something great will come out of it.

Don’t forget balance in your life. Don’t make everything about the flash and the show. Limit yourself to four M & Ms so you can go pursue bigger, more meaningful ventures, like creating the perfect dough that will hold everything together.

And most of all, don’t forget to allow yourself wiggle room when it comes to a task. Allow your creativity to push outside of conventional boundaries; don’t get stuck in the box.

You may not see it now, but you are a wonderful inspiration, a hard worker and a recipe with potential. You may need to make some changes in your life, but that doesn’t mean you have to throw out your dough. Kneed it, or in other words, don’t throw out who you are to be what you see as a success. The only person you need to make proud is you. That’s all that matters, so just keep on mixing my friend.

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.
