I Tried Pumpkin Stuff So You Don't Have To

If you haven't noticed yet, October is here, which means it is now Halloween month. Not only do all the spooky scary decorations come forth, but all the candy and junk food you could ever want is here. Even normal food gets into the spirit as LITERALLY EVERYTHING IS MADE WITH PUMPKIN.

We got pumpkin cereal, pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin beer, pumpkin candy corn, and if it isn't pumpkin flavored, it's at least pumpkin shaped (I'm looking at you Reese's).

I've compiled an extensive list of all the pumpkin stuff I've seen and tried and decided whether or not it was worth it for you to try as well. You're welcome.

1. Blue Moon Pumpkin Beer:

I was skeptical at first about pumpkin beer, but it was actually quite nice. It had all the gross flavor of a normal beer but slightly masked by the great pumpkin pie spices. 3/5 would recommend.

2. Trader Joe's Pumpkin O's:

A twist on their normal Cheerio knockoffs, the Pumpkin O's bring a holiday twist to the normal, dry cereal. One would think, "Hey, maybe it's a bit much to start my day with the actual taste of pumpkin pie", but who cares. 4/5.

3. The Classic PSL(Pumpkin Spice Latte for you noobs out there):

If you haven't had a PSL then literally what are you doing with your life. Get out. 5/5 basic white girl alert.

4. Pumpkin Pancakes:

They were okay. Little too much pumpkin and not enough syrup. Lame amirite? 3/5.

5. Pumpkin Pasta:

Yeah, it's a thing. and it's weird. Don't do it. Especially with the pumpkin vodka sauce. Eh 1/5 gross.

6. Pumpkin Scones:

So good. Very moist and lovely with the light glaze over the top. 5/5.

7. Pumpkin Spice Oreos:

How about no? Okay? Oreos were just fine before pumpkin spice sir. I don't need your pumpkin influence. 2/5.

8. Pumpkin Candy Corn:

Again, can we let perfection be perfection? Leave candy corn alone. 0/5

9. Pumpkin Ice Cream:

Surprisingly really creamy and delicious and full of pumpkin pie goodness. I can only find it at the organic type of whole foods stores but you can probably buy it at WalMart or something. 4/5.

10. And finally, Good Ol' Fashion Pumpkin Pie:

Well, duh. Pass the whipped cream. 10/5 best thing ever.

I don't know if this list is helpful and I hope no one actually eats as much pumpkin as I do. You might turn orange. Or is that carrots? Who knows.

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.

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.
