It’s a month into the new year and there are people all over who are hard at work on their resolutions! One of the most common resolutions is to eat healthier and lose weight, so, of course, it’s natural that the Girl Scouts cookie season starts.

As someone who’s been in a baking mood lately, I guess I could bake my own cookies to enjoy… But let’s be real, there ain’t no way in hell I can recreate something as scrumptious as Tagalongs® or Thin Mints®. I’m gonna be buying some (more like many) of those damn things.

(Also a side note, will the Girl Scouts send a hitman out on me if I don’t include the “®” in the cookie names?)

Anyway, I’ve been looking into ways to satisfy the feeling of baking while also using those tasty treats. I have compiled a list of recipes to try that highlight various kinds of Girl Scouts cookies! Of course, you could use the list on the actual Girl Scouts website, but I feel we already give them enough with using the cookies; we don’t need to give their websites extra traffic too.

1. Thin Mints® Truffles.

This recipe from SixSistersStuff.com uses one of my favorite cookies from the GS and makes it even more unhealthy! Hell yeah.

2. No-Bake Samoas® Pie.

Yeah, I know I said I wanted to bake and this clearly says "No-bake," but it looks too good not to do. This comes from Paige Grandjean of MyRecipes.com.

3. Tagalongs® Cake Bars.

You know how I said Thin Mints were one of my favorite cookies? Yeah, well Tagalongs are my absolute favorite. Pretty much anything involving them I'll love. This recipe comes from Amanda of kevinandamanda.com.

4. Trefoils® Magic Bars.

Maybe the magic of this recipe is turning the blandest Girl Scout cookie into something amazing. Trefoils® aren't my favorite cookie, but this makes it look amazing. This comes from Erika Beth of LifesTooShortYoSkipDessert.blogspot.com.

5. Thin Mints® Brownies.

I had to do another one using Thin Mints as it seems to just be such an iconic cookie for them. This one turns them into a brownie that looks all too heavenly for the amount of sweet that is within. This recipe comes from CountryCleaver.com.

Honestly, I think the hardest part of these and any other recipe using Girl Scout cookies is not eating all them before you get to the cooking part.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
