4 Treats And Drinks For Your Beach Trip

For most, summer break is coming to an end in the next couple of weeks. That also means that it's time to get that last little beach trip in before having to go back to classes, work, and a whole long list of not necessarily pleasant things. If you're like me, there's almost nothing that works up my appetite more than a day at the beach. Here are a few easy and beachy snacks and drinks you can pack for your beach or pool day.

1. M&Kissed Pretzels

These are by far one of my favorite on the go sweet treats.

You will need;

-1 bag of pretzels (I recommend grid/square shaped pretzels as shown.)

-1 bag of your favorite type of Hershey's Kisses

-1 bag of milk chocolate M&Ms

What to do;

-Preheat the oven to 350° F.

-Place pretzels on a sheet of parchment paper on a cookie sheet in a single layer.

-Unwrap enough Hershey's Kisses for all of the pretzels and place each one on each individual pretzel. (Don't worry. It won't take as long as you think.)

-Put them in the oven for 3-4 minutes.

-After taking them out of the oven, place your choice of M&Ms in the middle of the Kiss and push down lightly.

-Once you have "M&M"ed all of the pretzels, put the cookie sheet of M&Kissed Pretzels in the freezer for at least 45 minutes. Doing this will ensure maximum security against the chocolate melting. Then, eat up!

2. Frozen(ish) Strawberry-Blueberry Lemonade


What you'll need;

-1 carton of lemonade

-1 bag of frozen blueberries

-1 bag of strawberries

What to do; (This part isn't rocket science. It's pretty self-explanatory.) I recommend taking all the items to the beach or pool in a cooler and putting the drink together when you want it so it doesn't become warm from the sun over time.

Basically, all you have to do is put whatever amount of frozen fruit in your cup that you would like and same with the lemonade. I especially love this because the fruit acts as the ice and your lemonade doesn't become watered down. In the end, you have some cold, fresh fruit to eat!

3. Peanut Butter, Jelly & Banana Skewers

Now, this one is one of the more difficult ones to prepare and transport to the beach without becoming messed up but it's still worth it in the end.

What you'll need;

-Wooden Skewers

-1 banana for a single person, 2 bananas for 2 people... etc. If you aren't a fan of bananas; strawberries, grapes, pineapple all work great!

-Sliced bread

-PB and Jelly (Jelly is also optional.)

What to do;

-Prepare your PB&J as you like, cut off the crust, and cut the sandwich into 4-6 squares

-Cut your fruit to about the same width of the sandwiches

-Put the fruit and sandwiches on the skewer alternating between the two

4. Chips, Chips, and More Chips


Obviously, this isn't something you make--unless you have those certain skills and amount of time in which case, I applaud you. But chips are the perfect beach snack that is easier than easy. If you're one of those people who doesn't want to eat chips at the beach because it won't necessarily help your bikini body, I say drink half a bottle of water before and after and it all balances out... at least we can all imagine. If you want to have a bit more fun, you can make a chip mix with as many chips as you want. You could have a Frito mix, a Cheeto mix, Doritos mix. The possibilities are endless.

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.
