During quarantine, I made it my mission to find the best chocolate chip cookie recipe. Considering Google has about 90,400,000 results when you type in "best chocolate chip cookie recipe," this wasn't exactly the easiest task.

I wanted to find a recipe for cookies that are chewy yet soft at the same time. I didn't want teeth-breaking your teeth, rock-hard cookies.

The Life Of An Average College Girl, As Told By 'SpongeBob SquarePants'

"SpongeBob SquarePants" was my favorite cartoon growing up by far, and it remains my favorite cartoon of all time today. He's the only thing I miss about having access to cable TV 24/7. I only appreciate the show more and more the older I get -- it was funny as a kid, but it's becoming funny in a different way as I catch the older jokes I missed as a kid (and realize that I'm TRULY Squidward).

Life as a college girl is truly a struggle, but at least I know I'm never alone because SpongeBob is right here struggling with me.

I Tried These 11 Pinterest Recipes And You Should, Too

When I'm really bored I tend to get sucked into the black hole that is Pinterest. And after 30 minutes spent on the website I've effectively planned my wedding, found 10 DIY projects to try the next time I'm feeling crafty, and pinned at least a dozen outfits to my fashion inspiration board. On top of all that, I always see recipes that look delicious. Yet, I always wonder if they are as good as they look. So, I tried 11 of these Pinterest recipes, and here's what I thought.

My Christmas Traditions

Why Christmas is truly my favorite time of the year.

Allie Slagter

Although I tend to sneak some Christmas music in beforehand, my family and I try to keep the Christmas celebration off until after Thanksgiving. For me, it all starts on Black Friday, when instead of running around the mall, my dad and I get a good night's sleep and put up all of our outdoor Christmas decorations.

The chocolate chip cookie recipe you need in your life.

We might not have learned these things in school, but they're definitely facts.

The buddy system is still a thing

Naps aren't just for kids

Dressing room mirrors aren't your friends

So you need to bring an honest friend with you when shopping

You don't need to spend an arm and a leg to look good

Chocolate chip cookies are always the answer

Everyone is at different stages in their lives, and it is okay if you're not at the same one

The right people in your life will stand out, and those are the ones you keep

Most of the time, we don't know what we're doing

Dance like no one is watching

Really though, there's a SpongeBob reference for everything.

1. When you're sitting in class bored as heck and start to let your mind wander

2. When you and your BFF go to different colleges and finally get to see each other again

3. When you've been binging Netflix and you're too lazy to get the remote to press "yes" on the "Are you still watching?" screen

4. When you have to walk across campus during the winter but your leggings aren't thick enough to keep your warm

5. When you're burning up in your apartment at the beginning of fall semester but you're too cheap to turn on the AC

6. When you're trying to eat healthier, but you just can't beat those cravings...

7. When your boyfriend is grouchy and tired of you, but you just want to shower him in affection

8. When you're at work just trying to make money to pay your bills and ALL of the creepy old men are up in your business

9. When you've been busy all week and realize your room has become a literal trash heap

10. When your roommate(s) go home for the weekend but you hear noises coming from outside of your room

11. When your friend gets a cryptic text from the boy she likes and you're both trying to decipher what he meant

12. Trying to talk yourself through that complicated problem that you totally should have paid attention to in class

13. When you've neglected to do any #selfcare since the beginning of the semester and you finally take a good look at yourself in the mirror

14. Literally any time your boyfriend so much as looks at you wrong, much less raises his voice at you

15. Getting your first exam grade back and realizing you're gonna have to repeat the class (which is totally an overreaction because it's the first exam, but we're dramatic so it's fine)

16. When you finally get a lash fill/get a new tube of your fav mascara

17. After doing 10 squats at the gym

18. Getting to the end of spring semester and realizing you're definitely not ready for summer

Hint: I found some really, really good food.

Why Christmas is truly my favorite time of the year.

Once I'm officially on winter break it's full go Christmas mode until the 25th.

Once everything has been baked and the house is fully decorated it truly feels like it's Christmas time.

Once the stockings are hung and the gifts have been placed under the tree it's officially time for Christmas.

After church, it's time for our traditional Christmas Eve dinner: PIZZA!

Once we get home, I tend to change into my pajamas; the same pajamas I will wear for the entirety of tomorrow.

Then it's finally time to go to sleep to rest up for the excitement of Christmas morning.

Your coworkers, friends, and family will be impressed.
