'Jack Link’s' Is The Perfect Snack To Get You Through All Of Life’s Struggles
https://www.jacklinks.com/

Eating is one of those things that just makes me happy. I love sitting down to a good meal that someone has worked hard to prepare. Although usually, I'm the family's chef, I can still appreciate my own efforts. I also love a good snack. Something that hits the right spot no matter what else is going on.

You may (or may not) know about my other snack related article 12 Salty Snacks College Girls Need For When It Feels Like The Dining Hall Is 20 Miles Away. After that was published, I got an amazing message from a woman on Facebook. She told me she saw my article and said she works on behalf of several major food brands, including Jack Link's. I was then asked if I would like to sample some free products and write another article about them. This is the awesome package I got sent to me in the mail.

There was the Traditional Jerky, Teriyaki Jerky, and 2 Original Beef Sticks. Being a nice person, I shared with my family. Here's what we learned about Jack Link's.

You Can Share It With Your Friends

Sharing a snack with a friend (or family member) is a great way to connect. Food brings people together and even a snack can put a smile on someone's face.

It Is A Healthier Option Than Sugary Sweets

Not eating a ton of sugar and replacing, say a piece of cake, with some Jerky is a great way to avoid the sweets and get some protein in your system. I loved the Teriyaki Jerky for exactly this reason. It was sweeter than the Traditional Jerky, but still not a sugar-filled snack.

The Beef Sticks Are To Die For

My daughter isn't a huge jerky fan. She'll eat it, but it doesn't satisfy her snack cravings in the way it does some people, namely me. She did gravitate to the Beef Sticks though. I tried one, then let her have the rest of it. The very next day she begged for the other one. They were so good! I totally get why choosing one would be a great idea.

You Can Eat It Almost Anywhere

Jerky is a super portable snack. You can pop a bag in your backpack or purse and eat it whenever the mood strikes, or you realize you have forgotten your lunch money. I won't even tell if you start snacking in class, but you better share!

The bottom line is we loved these products and you should too. The next time something isn't going your way, grab some Jack Link's and I'm sure a smile will appear on your face sooner than you think.

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.
