Scribbles About Food: Back to College/School Snacks

So I thought this would just kind of be a fun thing to do... I'm just going to talk about what I ate in college as a snack- mostly when I didn't have much time to grab a meal before going to class... and yeah. Let's get right into it... PS... these aren't really healthy options... so yeah. There's that.

This isn't something I had in college, but Keebler just released a "Pita and Hummus" or "Flatbread and Hummus" snack pack. This isn't super filling- but it would be a good snack in between classes... You're going to need to bring some breath mints to class or brush your teeth before if you want to smell good in class... I don't think I would do stuff like that for class... not even going to lie lol... if I was working with other people or if there was a cute boy- I would consider that... but yeah. Not the first thing I was worried about lol. Improv class I was a little more concerned... but I wasn't really concerned otherwise. Lol.

I was also big into Starbucks... in the morning I'd get it... there was one semester where I had one 3 hour class and we'd get a short break and the building was close enough to Starbucks that I could get a little something to eat... which was good because I had another 3 hour class almost right after that one and I preferred eating dinner after. The drink I get now is the Chai Latte... I think that's what I mostly got in college also... I got different things depending on my mood... still do lol. But the Chai Latte has been my go-to lately. I like it Iced... so good! I'd usually grab a yogurt Parfait or something then too.

One thing you don't want to do: Get the Salted Caramel Latte with the Salted Caramel Brownie... I'm a huge sweet tooth... but that was a little too much even for me... and it was very heavy and it just kind of sat on me while I had to walk to a much further away building... it was gross. I love the brownies, I love the Salted Caramel Latte... would never get them together again.

My favorite snack ever for a quick meal... the Keebler Cheese and Peanut Butter Crackers. These are a must have if you really have no time before class. If you're traveling these are great. They have just regular peanut butter crackers too... they have just regular cheese ones... whatever is your cup of tea... I just like the Cheese and peanut butter combo. These are filling enough that you can pay attention in class without only thinking of food... and it's just good to grab. Most of the little snack places have these... I think some vending machines probably do... they're just good.

Also Snickers... It's exactly like the commercials... feeling hungry? Grab a snickers! I did this before an interview with a teacher once... so that was fun.

Whenever I was studying I used to like getting Rice Krispy Treats because those are a nice sugary dessert that you can find really easily. I also like the Starbucks grocery store drinks. Those are always good.

I'm not that big on lunch meat... but I did eat a lot of cheese and crackers and sometimes I'd have pepperoni... and I would sing "Working on my Night Cheese" while eating it if my roommate wasn't in the room... it was good.

I think that's about it!

Byeee!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
