Quick Christmas Treats For The Office Potluck

Uh oh. You just remembered that your work Christmas party is tonight and you are supposed to bring a treat to share. You have no time and limited funds, but still want to make something that everyone will love. Lucky for you, I did the research in advance and here are the 10 best Quick Christmas Treats I found.

1. Chocolate Dipped Oreos

This is ridiculously easy. You just have to take a package of oreos (my personal favorite are the thin, mint oreos) and dip them in melted chocolate. We tried both white and milk chocolate and the white chocolate dipped oreos were by far the favorite. Finish them by adding some holiday sprinkles and stick them in the fridge to harden the chocolate.

2. Candy Cane Popcorn

Pop a bag of popcorn and pour some melted white chocolate over the top. Next add candy cane crumbles. Mix it together and you have a sweet and salty treat to share.

3. Christmas Light Chocolate Bark

White chocolate is a Christmas staple. Melt the chocolate and pour it out on a cookie sheet covered with wax paper. Make sure it is spread evenly on the sheet and then let cool in the fridge. Pipe green chocolate melts onto the white chocolate surface to look like the string. Cut green Mike and Ikes in half to make the top of the Christmas light and stick it to the top of a peanut M&M. You can use the leftover green chocolate to make then stick together. Next, stick the light to the white chocolate using the green chocolate melts. Super cute treat to wow all your coworkers!

4. Pretzel M&M Hugs

Set kisses on top of a pretzel and put them in the oven for about four minutes at 200 degrees. When you take them out, push red and green M&Ms into the top before they cool. These treats are bite size and easy to grab and go.

5. Reindeer Brownies

Make brownies from the package and add pretzel antlers. Use mint chocolate chips for the eyes and nose and use melted chocolate as the glue and eyeballs. Almost too cute to eat!

6. Strawberry Santa

Cut the strawberries in half and pipe in vanilla frosting, either homemade or store bought. Add a little bit to the top for a pom pom and use black gel frosting for the eyes. No one is too old for a little Santa themed treat!

7. Chocolate Almond Caramel Clusters

Melt caramel squares over the stove. Place clusters of about 7-10 almonds together on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Use a spoon or a cookie scoop to put caramel on each cluster and stick in the oven to cool. Melt milk chocolate and dip the caramel almond clusters in the chocolate. Allow to cool once more and they are ready to share!

8. Rice Krispie Trees

Make up a batch of Rice Krispie treats but adding green food coloring. As the treats cool, shape them into little christmas trees. Decorate with white frosting and colorful candies. Everyone gets their own little Christmas tree!

9. Chocolate Peanut Butter Ritz Crackers

Press two Ritz crackers together with peanut butter in the middle. Dip in milk chocolate and decorate with Christmas sprinkles. Allow to cool for around 15 minutes. These are easy to create and quite delicious!

10. Peppermint Fluff Dip

All this takes is a container of marshmallow fluff, 8 oz. of cream cheese, 1 tsp of peppermint oil, and crushed peppermints. Combine it all together and bring graham crackers for a dessert thats a little different, but still incredibly tasty.

With any of these treats you can spend little money and time, but still be a hit at any Christmas party during the season. Good luck!

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
