Here's an ice breaker: I'm allergic to chocolate and tree nuts. Anytime someone asks me if i want some brownies or something along those lines, I have to break the news to them. Their reaction is always one of the following: "I'm so sorry," or "You're missing out on so much," or my favorite, "What do you eat?" But to be frank, I'm not sorry, I'm not missing out on anything, and there is so many other things my sweet tooth goes off on! Here's a few things that my sweet tooth often craves.

1. Fruit!

Watermelon, strawberries, grapes, cantaloupe, oranges, bananas, need I say more?

2. Sour Patch Kids

This is my all time FAVORITE candy! It's the perfect combination of sweet and sour!

3. Gummy Worms

Whether you like them sweet or sour, they've got you covered! Also, I recently found out that they make gummy worms in pouches, so that you can dip the sweet worms into the sour sugar! Sounds like a win-win to me.

4. Taffy

If you've never had fresh, homemade taffy, you are missing out!

5. Sno Cones


My personal favorites are Piña Colada and Bahama Mama. These are a must-have in the summer!

6. Starbursts


I'm the crazy person who likes the yellows, and that's okay.

7. Frosted Sugar Cookies

Whether it is the Lofthouse cookies from the grocery store, or the ones from Great American Cookies, these are AMAZING!

8. Wafers


Sweet and crunchy, the strawberry wafers are to die for!

9. Pineapple Pizza


Sorry, not sorry! This is a must have at my group's pool parties.

10. Frozen Yogurt

Way better than ice cream! I mean, have you been to a frozen yogurt bar?

11. Cheesecake

Definitely my guilty pleasure.

12. Doughnuts

There is so much you can do with a doughnut. There's glazed, powdered, creme filled, etc..

13. Lemonade

Anyone that knows me, knows that my first stop anywhere is to find the lemonade! Football games, concerts, gas stations, etc..

14. Cinnamon Rolls

When my mom made these for breakfast, I would lick the icing off the knife, when she was done. And I had no shame for it either.

Before you say that you're sorry to someone that can't eat something you love, remember there are PLENTY of options out there, that are probably better!

What I've Learned About Friendship During My First Year Of High School

Friendship isn't always as easy as it's made out to be.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

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.
