Girl Scout Cookie History

If you have Girl Scout Cookies stashed all over your off-campus student apartment then you need to know the history behind these amazing cookies. They go way back and their history is super interesting.

They originate all the way back to the 1910's! They would bake the cookies and sell them in the school cafeterias and try to raise money for group activities! 1917 is the first year they sold Girl Scout cookies.In the 1920's they start selling them door to door.

This is the original Girl Scout cookie recipe from 1922

!Girl Scout Cookies

1 cup of butter, or substitute1 cup of sugar

2 tablespoons of milk

2 eggs

1 teaspoon of vanilla

2 cups of flour

2 teaspoons of baking powder

Cream butter and sugar; add well-beaten eggs, then milk, flavoring, flour, and baking powder. Roll thin and bake in quick oven. (Sprinkle sugar on top.) This amount makes six to seven dozen. Modern-day tips (not part of the original recipe): Refrigerate batter for at least one hour before rolling and cutting cookies.

Bake in a quick oven (375°) for approximately 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges begin to brown.

During World War II the girls sold calendars instead of cookies because of the sugar and flour shortages.

Self Care

Self care is different for everyone. Some people need a quiet night in their off-campus student apartment and some people need a night out with friends. Self-care is and should be personalized to fit your needs and things that make you happy.

Listen to your mind and body. Do a "full body scan" and see what your problem is. Are you feeling overwhelmed? Sad? Anxious? Do you feel isolated? Does anywhere on your body hurt?If you need a day to rest your mind and body then you should take a day or a night and spend some time in. Take a bath, read a book, watch a movie, watch your favorite TV show, or even do some journaling.

Do whatever you want - this is your time.Sometimes alone time isn't what you need! Sometimes you need a night out with friends or just getting outside and interacting with people. Even though you're around people all day in classes, college can be isolating and many people feel incredibly lonely while they're at school. Work on making connections and interacting with people.

Drying Herbs at Home

If you have an herb garden or even just a few window herbs, you can harvest them and dry them right in your own off-campus student apartment!

Air Dry Method:

Gather a small bundle together and tie them up at the stem. Place in a paper bag, gather the ends together and tie it off (being careful not to crush them). Poke a few holes in the bag and hang or place in a well ventilated room without direct sunlight and leave for a week before you check on them.

Oven Dry Method:

Place on a baking sheet and set the oven to a low temperature like 180 degrees. Make sure they are spread evenly apart. Leave in the oven for 2 to 4 hours, checking on them periodically.

Doing anything outside your comfort zone can be a struggle - and job interviews can be the ultimate nightmare. Don't hide away in your off-campus student apartment in Orlando and avoid ever getting a job just because the process is scary.

Here are some tips and words of encouragement for fellow introverts:

Fake it until you make it. Try to be someone who IS confident and outspoken! Bust out those acting chops and try to shut down the side of you that's trying to stay reserved.

Practice. Think of potential hiring questions and go over them in your head. Don't let yourself freak out over it and overthink it- but a little mental preparation might help calm your nerves about being unprepared.

Go stake out the location beforehand.

Remind yourself that this is not make or break and it is not the end of the world if you don't get it.

If you're super dreading it, remind yourself that in a matter of minutes, it will be over! Just do your best and let time pass.

Class Participation

So say you finally leave your off-campus student apartment near Ole Miss and you actually make it to class.

Teachers love when you participate. This might even save your participation grade if you happen to miss class frequently.

Bring something to the table - don't just answer questions when they ask, say new things and have opinions.

Do well in group activities.

Ask questions - but thoughtful and using your critical thinking skills

Put your phone away.

Isolation in College

College is definitely a fun and exciting time in your life and you should embrace this as much as you can. There will be many times throughout your college career that you feel alone and even a little bit depressed. Some days you might not even want to leave your off-campus student apartment in State College.

Reach Out -

If you're feeling down you should seek a school counselor or reach out to your family. If you have friends that you've drifted away from, you might want to get back in contact with them.

Make yourself happy -

Putting yourself first is not selfish, its self-care. You can't provide for others unless you're taken care of. You can't fill up someone's cup from an empty pitcher.

This is all temporary -

Remind yourself of the "this too shall pass" quote and keep doing what you're doing. Time passes and does heal all wounds.

Go over this list of do's and don'ts while you're in your off-campus student apartment in Knoxville preparing for your big job interview. If you don't have an interview coming up, keep these things in mind for the future! You never know when you might need to know them!

Do get plenty of sleep

Do sit up straight

Do make eye contact

Do ask questions

Do sell yourself

Do follow up

Do relax

Don't cross your arms during the interview

Don't play with your hair or fidget too much

Don't be too intense

Don't be unprepared

Don't ask about money

Don't underdress

Don't lie

There are just some basics that every college student should bring with them. These things don't do you any good sitting in your off-campus student apartment in Stillwater - bring them with you so you're prepared the whole day!

Water/water bottle - bring an empty water bottle at least, that way you can fill it up at the water fountain.

Snacks - if you've got a busy day with back to back classes, it's important to remember to eat! Bringing snacks also saves you money! At least pack an emergency granola bar.

Books - bring the textbooks you'll need for each class! Lay them out the night before or even go ahead and pack your bags.

Extra paper & pens - if you need to jot something down or if there's a pop quiz then you'll need good old fashioned pen and paper.

Calculator - you either need this for a math or science class or you just never know when you'll need it. It doesn't take up too much space so keep it in your bag.

If you're a creative person there's a strong chance you're struggling with some things. Creative people tend to be sensitive people. Don't hole yourself up in your off-campus student apartment in Columbia - get out there and meet people and try things and get your heart broken!

There will be days where you feel like you're an imposter - Amanda Palmer calls this the "fraud police" in her book The Art of Asking. The "fraud police" are those voices in your head that tell you that you aren't actually what you say you are.

The best way to deal with them is to make your art. The best way to remember you're something is to do/be that something! If you can't or your feel too down to create, journal your thoughts or listen to some music. Get those voices out of your head.

Listen to the right critics. If you take everything people tell you seriously it will seriously debilitate you.

There will be times where you feel amazing about yourself and your art and there will be times where you hate it. Focus on the times that were good because those were your truest moments.

Smoothies are great - they allow you to whip it up quickly right in your off-campus student apartment in Fort Collins and then take your breakfast on the go with one hand. Your busy schedule with thank you for the nutrients.

vanilla almond milk (or coconut milk)

greek yogurt

old fashioned oats

brown sugar

cocoa powder

cinnamon

banana

honey

Beginning a running habit in college can be an amazing thing. It reduces stress, keeps you healthy, and gets you out of your off-campus student apartment in Fort Collins once in a while! Here are some miscellaneous tips on running to help you get up and get out!

Keep it up. The best way to succeed at running is to be consistent with it. It's okay to give yourself breaks, but make sure you get back to it!

Switch things up! Don't do the same trail or the same amount of time every time you go running. When you switch things up your body doesn't get used to one thing and get bored! Make the most of your work outs.

Buy some nice shoes. Having the proper shoes can make a world of difference in both performance and endurance.
