Dates, Cookies, And The People Buying Them

Jumping into the Girl Scout Cookie Sale Season, MUST BUY ALL THE COOKIES

Feb 20, 2017

Dates, Cookies, And The People Buying Them

When I was in the fourth grade, I joined the Girl Scouts. It was an interesting experience, though my biggest fan was my mother (or should I say, she was the biggest fan of the cookies?). I remember small tidbits of my troupe, as I only stayed for that one year (I moved shortly after the year was over). However, when I was still a part of it, I sold more than 300+ cookies (yes, most of them were to my mother... I actually have no idea what we did with so many cookies). So in honor of the beloved cookies, I wanted to share with you the deliciousness that is their sales and how they do it/when they do it. Saturday was their 100-year celebration so YAY!

And Now, the moment I have been waiting for... THE COOKIES. In MY favorite order.

Samoas

This is my ultimate Girl Scout cookie love. Nothing beats the coconut and caramel drizzled with chocolate. DROOL.

Trefoils

I've always loved shortbread cookies, so it doesn't come as a surprise that they beat out the others.

Thin Mints

Thin mints always reminded me of peppermint patties, like I was eating a cookie form of it, so the child-version of myself thought that was awesome.

Savannah Smiles

I have no idea why these are so delicious. I think powdered sugar is an absolute mess, but these are so damn tasty and lemony... man I am getting a craving (brb).

Thanks-A-Lot

These are somewhere between Samoas and Trefoils. It has a caramel flavor, yet it has that yummy shortbread on top. #YUM

Tagalongs

Peanut Butter for the win. DO I need to say more?

Lemonades

What's not to love about lemon cookies? However, I think these are a little too sweet for me.

Do-si-dos

These (like the remaining cookies) I don't remember having... so I don't have an opinion of them at the moment. I do, however, have a box of them in the cupboard in order to take a nice bite.

Toffee-tastic

I'd imagine these are toffee filled goodness, a must try for the future (someone, take note of this for me).

Trios

Cookies... with 3 different things, what's not to love?

Girl Scout S'Mores

I have yet to see and/or try these or the remaining version of this, pictured below.

Girl Scout Cookies are kind of like a right of passage in life, people just need to try them. What's your favorite cookie?

If you ever want to check out how they're doing, or how to become a member/buy cookies/etc., click on any of these photos to explore their website. Thanks for hanging in for the cookie addicts corner... Now I'm off to eat some Samoas.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
