In my humble opinion, Pinterest is just about the best website in existence. I get to avoid responsibilities while pretending to gather information that I'll use some day. The likelihood of that actually happening? Slim to none. However, one board is beneficial enough that I try out the pins on it. This board is creatively titled "Food." Here's a few of my favorite finds (the recipes can be found by clicking on the pictures):

1. Zucchini Lasagna

Since I have a rebellious streak and don't usually follow recipes completely, I made mine the classic lasagna way, instead of making roll-ups and swapped the ricotta cheese for cottage cheese. Overall, delicious, and definitely worth the hand cramps I got from grating all that zucchini.

2. Peaches and Cream Crepes

I may or may not have totally failed at flipping said crepes and ended up with several chunks of skinny-looking pancakes, but I have a sister who saved my cooking endeavor and we ended up with several beautiful crepes. My changes: I don't even know what mascarpone cheese is, so I used cream cheese for the filling.

3. Broccoli Tots

About 50 percent of these actually stuck together, but they tasted A-maz-ing.

4. Cauliflower Quinoa Meatballs

Disclaimer: I'm a complete wimp when it comes to spicy things, so "buffalo" isn't even a word in my culinary vocabulary. Dairy free butter also did not happen. As a result, my meatballs, were more of a patty. Still good!

5. Deep Dish Fudgy Oatmeal Bars

They're as good as they look!

6. Sausage Pepper Fettuccini Skillet

I've made this one a few times now and drool a little when I think about it. It's an easy recipe to play around a bit with the ingredients, and I encourage you to do so!

7. Tomato Avocado Melt

I like to make this in more of a grilled cheese style. Then I mix some of Emril Lagasse's Baby Bam with a little may and spread it on. It has become one of my favorite college meals.

8. Lasagna Soup

Lasagna is beautiful in all forms, but you might want to make sure you rip up the noodles into the size shown in the recipe. I started out strong, but by the end I was throwing the whole noodles in. That makes it quite difficult to consume, in case you were wondering.

9. Funfetti Pancakes

These pancakes are a wise choice if you're a fan of birthday cake variations.

10. Lunch Lady Brownies

For years I have been on a hunt to find a recipe that tastes like the brownies I had in elementary school, and this is the closest I've found so far.

11. Cheeseburger Casserole

This recipe combines several of my favorite foods, so there was really no way it could be bad.

I had to exit out of Pinterest because I was becoming ravenous from looking at all the food, but I highly encourage you to try these recipes.

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.
