What Happened When A French Student Finally Discovered Girl Scout Cookies
Weight Off My Shoulders

I am French.

All I knew about the United States was what I watched in American shows.

And more than often in the shows, they referenced Girl's Scout cookies. And I am like, "okay, people like to buy stuff from little girls." #weird

And I thought it was just another American cliché (you know, like cheeseburgers.)

So a couple of months ago, when the Girl's scout season came, I was pretty surprised to see how my boyfriend reacted when he saw Girl Scouts selling cookies on the street.

His reaction? Mhm. How could I describe it to you?

My boyfriend is a calm person. He is not a party guy (and neither am I), he doesn't listen to music too loud, he doesn't laugh or speak too loud. He is not a loud guy.

So that day when I was driving and he was in the passenger seat, he suddenly shouted, "Oh my god, Girls Scout Cookie are back!!" He doesn't sound really funny right now, but picture a drug addict's joy after he finally drugs up after months and months of sobriety.

And he called all his family (parents and brother) to warn them.

And I said to myself, "maybe, the Girls Scout Cookies are not just an American legend? Maybe, it's real."

I came back to my boyfriend's house a few days later, and being someone that is particularly obsessed with good food, I knew something was different.

Yes. It smelled like cookies (yes, I have the ability of smelling cookies.)

Just to clarify something: I make the best cookies in the world. We all know someone that says "my grandmother/mother makes the best cookies," but no, stop saying that, because I am the only person you'll meet that can make the best cookies ever. (Even if it is my boyfriend's mom recipe ahah.)

I love food, and I am an adventurer. Picture me as a fat Indiana Jones that doesn't focus on archeology, but rather on food-ology (so proud of this joke right now.)

Even if I knew my cookies were the best, I had to hurt myself and try these "famous" cookies. Why? I think I am a masochist. Or just really really fat. I can't decide.

The Samoas Cookies: biscuit coated with chocolate, coconut, and caramel.

My reaction?

Yes, there is a god, and this god is a cookie.

All this time in the darkness, I can finally see the light. I can see the truth.

So dear Cookies, I've decided to track every single one of your kind and eat you. I don't know what cookies aspire to be, and I don't know if it is your destiny to be eaten.

But it doesn't matter anymore: I will find you. And I will eat you.



You can laugh, but my boyfriend actually got scared and asked me --after reading this little comics-- "You won't become like that, right?" #asshole

And to finish, this little video, one of many that rose the Girl's Scout cookie legend for me:

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.
