In my humble opinion, Pinterest is just about the best website in existence. I get to avoid responsibilities while pretending to gather information that I'll use some day. The likelihood of that actually happening? Slim to none. However, one board is beneficial enough that I try out the pins on it. This board is creatively titled "Food." Here's a few of my favorite finds (the recipes can be found by clicking on the pictures):

1. Zucchini Lasagna

Since I have a rebellious streak and don't usually follow recipes completely, I made mine the classic lasagna way, instead of making roll-ups and swapped the ricotta cheese for cottage cheese. Overall, delicious, and definitely worth the hand cramps I got from grating all that zucchini.

2. Peaches and Cream Crepes

I may or may not have totally failed at flipping said crepes and ended up with several chunks of skinny-looking pancakes, but I have a sister who saved my cooking endeavor and we ended up with several beautiful crepes. My changes: I don't even know what mascarpone cheese is, so I used cream cheese for the filling.

3. Broccoli Tots

About 50 percent of these actually stuck together, but they tasted A-maz-ing.

4. Cauliflower Quinoa Meatballs

Disclaimer: I'm a complete wimp when it comes to spicy things, so "buffalo" isn't even a word in my culinary vocabulary. Dairy free butter also did not happen. As a result, my meatballs, were more of a patty. Still good!

5. Deep Dish Fudgy Oatmeal Bars

They're as good as they look!

6. Sausage Pepper Fettuccini Skillet

I've made this one a few times now and drool a little when I think about it. It's an easy recipe to play around a bit with the ingredients, and I encourage you to do so!

7. Tomato Avocado Melt

I like to make this in more of a grilled cheese style. Then I mix some of Emril Lagasse's Baby Bam with a little may and spread it on. It has become one of my favorite college meals.

8. Lasagna Soup

Lasagna is beautiful in all forms, but you might want to make sure you rip up the noodles into the size shown in the recipe. I started out strong, but by the end I was throwing the whole noodles in. That makes it quite difficult to consume, in case you were wondering.

9. Funfetti Pancakes

These pancakes are a wise choice if you're a fan of birthday cake variations.

10. Lunch Lady Brownies

For years I have been on a hunt to find a recipe that tastes like the brownies I had in elementary school, and this is the closest I've found so far.

11. Cheeseburger Casserole

This recipe combines several of my favorite foods, so there was really no way it could be bad.

I had to exit out of Pinterest because I was becoming ravenous from looking at all the food, but I highly encourage you to try these recipes.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
