Have you tried those Oreo THINS yet? They're amazing. Just like regular Oreos but thinner and just better overall. I don't know what it is, but whenever you take something and make it smaller or thinner, it makes it ten times better. But no, contrary to the thoughts of the women in front of us in line for the cashier, they do not make you thin.... I don't know why she thought that.

9 Quick Breakfast Ideas for Summer

Summer is the time when breakfast has a whole new meaning- you're not rushing off to school, so an apple or some cereal/oatmeal is way too boring, but at the same time you don't really want to do any heavy-duty baking because it's 100 degrees outside for pete's sake. But even though you can make something that's a little more time-consuming, you don't have the effort....

So, my community has officially created a Pokemon-Go related event and boy am I excited for it. It's basically a candlelit walkout around nine o'clock at night, right around when it starts getting kind of dark, where you walk around and catch Pokemon and go to all of the gyms and Pokestops around town. They also set up an incense at one of the Pokestops at the local park! What a time to be alive.

10 Nerdy Recipes to Make Your Dreams Come True

Okay, but can that title get any cheesier? Seriously, I might as well change the title to "nachos" because oh god it's cheesy.

I know there aren't a whole lot of natural morning people out there, but to those who are, you might understand how hard it is to be a morning person. Not because waking up early is hard.... It's just hard  when you're the ONLY person that gets up early. That's my problem in the summer- every single person on the planet sleeps in late, then there's me, awake at 8am with no one to talk to. So here I am typing away, with no human interaction for the next four hours....

5 Yummy Cheesecake Recipes

I looooove cheesecake. You know that episode of FRIENDS where Rachel and Chandler literally fight over cheesecake, then eat it off of the floor? That episode makes my mouth water (ew, not the floor part). I just love the creamy richness, with the deliciously crumbly crust and the sweetness, and the way it's cold and fresh on the tongue- like ice cream cake, but more elegant and rich and creamyyyy.

4 Summer Meal Ideas

When it's so hot out, you really don't feel like turning the oven on (well, I don't) which is why we leave baking, etc. for autumn. Don't get me wrong, I love cooking and baking, but the warm weather just makes me want something light and cool- so I compiled a few warm weather meal ideas, and though I've had this post planned for, like, 5 weeks, BuzzFeed JUST posted something exactly like this. Anyway, are you hungry yet?~
