Have you ever wanted a cool, healthy summer snack? Well, don’t worry because this week, I will be sharing 5 healthy summer snack ideas that you’ll adore. Personally, I always find myself looking for a small and healthy snack. Summer can do one of two things to my appetite. It can increase it and or destroy it. I can easily be affected by the heat of summer and when this happens, it’s hard to have a cool, healthy snack to munch on. So here are just a few ideas that I have found great for summer snacking. I’ll also include how to prepare them so you can jump right in and get to snacking.

1.)Strawberry Poppers.

2.)Banana Wafer Lasagna.

3.)Milk Ice Pops.

4.)Fruit Salad.

5.)Brownie Bite Surprise.


1.)Strawberry Poppers.

For this you will need the following: a knife, a table spoon, plate, vanilla yogurt, and strawberries.

First, you rinse off all the strawberries to remove any unwanted dirt. Next grab the knife and cut off the top of the strawberry that has the leaves on it. Then you are going to core the strawberries. You should make a tiny cup like shape in the strawberry. After the strawberry is cored, grab the vanilla yogurt and the table spoon and begin to fill the strawberry with the yogurt. Finally, chill them in the fridge for 5 to 10 minutes. After the time has passed take them out and get to snacking.

2.)Banana Wafer Lasagna.

Ingredients: Bananas, vanilla pudding (premade or boxed), and vanilla wafers.

First, make the boxed pudding within enough time before you want to make this lasagna. It will need to be made prior to. Cut up enough bananas to fill the bottom of your size lasagna pan and to make a second layer if you choose to. Place a thin layer of pudding to span the bottom of the pan. Begin to place vanilla wafers on the bottom of the pan. (If you bought remade pudding, you will just need to just simply cover the wafers and the pan with this pudding.) Place another layer of vanilla wafers. If you have chosen to add a second layer, just repeat the same process. Next place in freezer for about 10-20 minutes.

3.)Milk Ice Pops.

Things needed: Gallon of Milk, ice pop tray with sticks, and a freezer.

First, make sure you wash the ice pop tray before using it. Next pour in milk and add tops. Place in freezer. You can enjoy these yummy treats as soon as they are frozen. These are simple easy ice pops that can actually be really enjoyable.

4.)Fruit Salad.

Necessities: strawberries, blueberries, watermelon, grapes, and any other fruit you would like to include.

First, rinse and cut up all the fruit. Make sure the larger fruits are cut into bit sized bites to assure that it will be easy to eat. Next just mix it all up in a bowl. If you want extra flavor, you can add things to it such as yogurt, Nutella, or even sprinkle sugar it lightly. Once again, an easy snack that can be so delicious.

5.)Brownie Bite Surprise.

Needs: Brownie bites (premade or homemade), Oreos, and vanilla or chocolate ice-cream.

First, make brownies (if you are making them homemade). Then, crush and mash Oreos. Push a little indent into the top of the brownie bites. This is where we are going to place the mashed Oreos. Do this while brownie is warm. If you bought premade brownies just microwave them for a few seconds to make them slightly warm. After that you can use a teaspoon and scoop little scoops of ice-cream on top of the brownie bites and they’re now ready to eat.

These are easy and simple snacks that a person can enjoy while only consuming a small number of calories. I hope you all can get use out of these little flavorful snacks just as much as I do. So relax, enjoy the snacks, and beat the summer heat.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
