A guide to life collaboratively written by me in kindergarten and me now.

M & M Pie

This, my friends, is the best recipe in the history of the Odyssey online journal. This recipe combines history, ingenuity, creativity and mystery. Those words all encapsulate this incredibly important and fine-tuned recipe that, until now, has never been released to the public. This recipe has seen many years of life. For nearly 13 years it has floated in the atmosphere just waiting to be discovered, and I have found it.

I plan to give it its earned glory. This recipe for a dessert dish is so incredible that I have been hesitant to share it before, but I think I am finally ready to release it into the wind like aspen leaves in the fall. This recipe will change your life and it came from an extremely unlikely creator. A kindergarten student. Now, I know what your are thinking and I realize that spun you for a loop, but mark my words, this impeccable piece of culinary mastery is only possible to find deep in the constantly working synapses of a child’s mind. My gosh, I have waited for so many years for this day to come, and it is finally here. I can hardly control my emotions. This release is like the ribbon cutting for a new era in baking. Well, without further ado and fluffing, I present to you my very own kindergarten recipe for M & M Pie. Careful, you just might learn something.

M & M Pie

What you need:

4 pieces of M & M candy

2 Eggs

Chocolate Syrup

1 Cup sugar

More Sugar

More Eggs

Mix it up and bake the pie in the oven for 10 hours on five degrees. Take it out and cool it. Then eat it!

And so folks, there you have it: the imagination, ignorance and wonderful mind of a child all wrapped up into one fantastic recipe for M & M Pie.

Throw caution to the wind, do not be afraid to add more sugar or more eggs, even when you’re not quite sure how it will work out.

Mix it up. When you’re feeling dissatisfied with your life, seek out new opportunities that will make youhappy. You deserve it.

Persevere even when you’re not sure it will be worth the effort. Baking a pie for 10 hours on just five degrees might just leave you with cold dough, but maybe that’ll be the next big thing (I can see it now… “fro dough”). Forget the temperature. If you put in the time and effort, perhaps something great will come out of it.

Don’t forget balance in your life. Don’t make everything about the flash and the show. Limit yourself to four M & Ms so you can go pursue bigger, more meaningful ventures, like creating the perfect dough that will hold everything together.

And most of all, don’t forget to allow yourself wiggle room when it comes to a task. Allow your creativity to push outside of conventional boundaries; don’t get stuck in the box.

You may not see it now, but you are a wonderful inspiration, a hard worker and a recipe with potential. You may need to make some changes in your life, but that doesn’t mean you have to throw out your dough. Kneed it, or in other words, don’t throw out who you are to be what you see as a success. The only person you need to make proud is you. That’s all that matters, so just keep on mixing my friend.

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.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
