Dear Warm Cookies,

You are one of the worst and best things in the dining hall. The perfect dessert to grab on the way out of the dining hall and to munch on before heading to class. As a late night snack, nothing else is better. Unfortunately, there is such a thing as too many cookies. A frequent problem college students bond over is how every time we leave the dining hall, it seems like we leave with a warm cookie. During the meal, we think to ourselves, "I will not grab a warm cookie on my way out today." But as soon as we put our dishes away and head towards the exist, we always end up making a quick pit stop by the cookies, especially if a fresh batch was just put out.

For some people, the chocolate chip cookies get them. For others, it is the double chocolate. For me, it is the M&M cookie. Whatever the flavor is, people are always drawn towards the warm cookies, even if we know we should not be eating warm cookies after both lunch and dinner. But per usual, the pull of the warm cookies leaves us walking out of the dining hall with yet another cookie in hand.

The warm cookies bring students together from colleges all over. After telling my friend at the University of Michigan that I was writing an article about the warm cookies, she told me how she had the warmest chocolate chip cookie today, and I told her about my sugar cookie. Even though we are 520 miles apart, the warm cookies at our respective dining halls bring us together.

So, warm cookies, thank you for being the ultimate temptation but also a big bonding factor among freshmen college students everywhere. As much as we complain about the dining halls, we are always happy to indulge in a warm cookie.

Sincerely,

Freshmen everywhere

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
