Why A Brownie A Day Keeps the Smiles at Bay
Brielle Lopez

You know what always cheers me up? Food. What am I going to write about? Food. Whenever I got bored at home I always did one of two things: I would watch tv or I would bake. Not exactly sure why, but baking never failed to put me in a good mood. One time I made over 75 cupcakes just for the hell of it. Now my absolute favorite treat to serve people are my infamous Slutty Brownies. Before you ask, no, I do not know why they are named that. I first learned how to make them from my older sister, and after that it was my new go-to dish! I would bring them to school if it was someone’s birthday or if I was bored the night before. I would make them for all my friends at my dance studio. They were always such a hit and everyone loved them. Nothing says joy like a three layered brownie! Recently I have been writing about deeper content, but as a way to lighten the mood and prove that there is brightness even when the world seems dark, I am going to share my recipe, so that everyone can treat themselves to such a tasty dessert.

First up is the list of ingredients! You will need the following:

  • Roll of cookie dough (works best with pre-made dough and not make-it-yourself dough like Betty Crocker, ya know?)
  • Box of brownie mix (Any brand is fine for this)
  • Eggs, Veggie Oil, Water (amount should be listed on back of brownie box)
  • Pack of Double Stuffed Oreos
  • Rectangle cake pan
  • Wax Paper
Now that you have everything you’ll need, the next step is to preheat the oven. Make sure the oven is empty then preheat it to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Next, you'll need to lay a sheet of wax paper on the cake pan; this assures that the brownies won’t stick to the pan. Once the wax paper is on, remove the cookie dough from it’s wrapping and spread it across the bottom of the pan. After the dough is flattened across the entirety of the pan, you are going to want to grab the Oreos. You will begin to line them up on top of the cookie dough. Try to keep the Oreos as close to each other as possible in order to cover the cookie dough. The next thing you’re going to do is put the pan aside and grab a bowl to mix the brownie batter in. Follow the instruction on the back of the box, mix all the ingredients together, then pour the batter over the cookie dough and the Oreos in the cake pan. I tend to use the spoon I used to mix the brownie batter to gently spread it out, so that it covers the entire pan. All that’s left to do is to put them in the oven and set the timer for approximately 34 minutes. Use a knife to to check the brownies after the time is done. Stick it through the middle and if the knife comes out clean then the brownies are done. Let them stand for about an hour or so then enjoy!

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.
