What's For Dessert?
Vectips

The summer brings us the sweet treats that we crave at all times of the year. But, during the summer, these desserts seem to be the best. They not only bring delicious tastes to summer but also they come with memories that we've built up since childhood. Here I've ranked the top desserts for the summer so if you were feeling confused and unsure which dessert to go for today, this list can help you!

1. Ice Cream

Ice creams tops all charts in the dessert department but in the summer this sweet, frosty treat tastes so much better. Just imagine on those hot summer days when you wander past your favorite ice cream shop and remember all the wonderful, tasty times you've spent sitting around with your ice cream cone, laughing and chatting with friends and family. You've tried to switch up the kind of ice cream you get but each time you end up with your same, delicious flavor. In all its unique flavors, ice cream bring joy to the faces and bellies of so many. What's not to love about this treat?

2. Popsicles

Popsicles rank second on this list for many reasons. The first being that it's a great treat if you're just sitting at home, boiling in a puddle of your own sweat and you want something light and chilly to cool you down. They are refreshing in their many fruity flavors and you can eat a couple because they are so addicting. You can even make your own if you are feeling crafty and looking for something rewarding to do on that hot summer day. Popsicles are a wonderful choice all around.

3. S'mores

Ah, this timeless classic. We crave it every time we hear, see or smell a bonfire. Even the simple marshmallow sets off these wild cravings. Some people can eat only one or two while I've witnessed others eat upwards of five. S'mores are the ultimate treat when it comes to sitting around a nice campfire (I should know, it's what kept me sane while camping). First, you roast the marshmallow to golden-brown perfection, making sure the insides are gooey and warm. Then, you sandwich it between two graham crackers and a piece of chocolate and you've got a wonderful summer treat that is guaranteed to make your hands sticky.

4. Chocolate Chip Cookies

Oh the wonders this other classic dessert brings to the belly. On a rainy, summer day when you just want to sit inside and curl up with a nice book, these cookies provide the comfort you are looking for on this dreary day. They are best when they just come out of the oven so the chocolate melts effortlessly on your tastebuds, but really they are great anytime. Pair it with some ice cream and make a ice cream cookie sandwich and your life will be complete.

5. Slurpees

You know, the sugary goodness of a Slurpee lasts beyond your childhood years. The sweet flavors wrapped up in a frozen drink is the perfect way to beat the heat. And the best part is that any variety of flavors is cheap and available at most gas stations. The only question you have to ask yourself is how many different flavors can you mix together?

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
