What Happened When A French Student Finally Discovered Girl Scout Cookies
Weight Off My Shoulders

I am French.

All I knew about the United States was what I watched in American shows.

And more than often in the shows, they referenced Girl's Scout cookies. And I am like, "okay, people like to buy stuff from little girls." #weird

And I thought it was just another American cliché (you know, like cheeseburgers.)

So a couple of months ago, when the Girl's scout season came, I was pretty surprised to see how my boyfriend reacted when he saw Girl Scouts selling cookies on the street.

His reaction? Mhm. How could I describe it to you?

My boyfriend is a calm person. He is not a party guy (and neither am I), he doesn't listen to music too loud, he doesn't laugh or speak too loud. He is not a loud guy.

So that day when I was driving and he was in the passenger seat, he suddenly shouted, "Oh my god, Girls Scout Cookie are back!!" He doesn't sound really funny right now, but picture a drug addict's joy after he finally drugs up after months and months of sobriety.

And he called all his family (parents and brother) to warn them.

And I said to myself, "maybe, the Girls Scout Cookies are not just an American legend? Maybe, it's real."

I came back to my boyfriend's house a few days later, and being someone that is particularly obsessed with good food, I knew something was different.

Yes. It smelled like cookies (yes, I have the ability of smelling cookies.)

Just to clarify something: I make the best cookies in the world. We all know someone that says "my grandmother/mother makes the best cookies," but no, stop saying that, because I am the only person you'll meet that can make the best cookies ever. (Even if it is my boyfriend's mom recipe ahah.)

I love food, and I am an adventurer. Picture me as a fat Indiana Jones that doesn't focus on archeology, but rather on food-ology (so proud of this joke right now.)

Even if I knew my cookies were the best, I had to hurt myself and try these "famous" cookies. Why? I think I am a masochist. Or just really really fat. I can't decide.

The Samoas Cookies: biscuit coated with chocolate, coconut, and caramel.

My reaction?

Yes, there is a god, and this god is a cookie.

All this time in the darkness, I can finally see the light. I can see the truth.

So dear Cookies, I've decided to track every single one of your kind and eat you. I don't know what cookies aspire to be, and I don't know if it is your destiny to be eaten.

But it doesn't matter anymore: I will find you. And I will eat you.



You can laugh, but my boyfriend actually got scared and asked me --after reading this little comics-- "You won't become like that, right?" #asshole

And to finish, this little video, one of many that rose the Girl's Scout cookie legend for me:

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
