Ah, pie crust. I could practically eat it raw . . . Well, okay, that’s pretty disgusting, so I take it back (sorta). But baked pie crust is an entirely different story. It’s so versatile—you can use it for tarts, dessert pizza, and (obviously) pies. And you can fill those pies with anything—lemon curd, banana cream, fresh strawberries . . .

Here’s a question: How many things do you have lying around that you don’t use anymore? How many things do you have that you’ve never used? I’m betting it’s more than you think.

We all love yogurt—it packs the power of protein, it tastes great, and it goes with pretty much anything. Slop it on top of some cereal, and there’s breakfast. Yogurt with fresh berries and honey makes a good snack or a small lunch. And fresh yogurt can be used to make curries, raita, or other delicious dinner sauces.

There are a few normal things to do after you graduate:
1. Get a job.
2. Go to grad school.
3. Live at home and freak out about the future.

If you haven’t yet discovered Etsy, the Internet’s largest and coolest craft marketplace, beware. It will eat your soul. You can easily fritter away three or four hours just browsing through dresses or scarves or jewelry, not to mention shoes, crafts and other delicious goodies.

We all want to go green, but let’s face it – it’s not easy. Not only is it impossible to build a compost heap in the dorms, there are a lot of lame Earth-friendly products out there. We’re not going to trade in our gorgeous leather bags for some crappy burlap sack. We aren’t going to start cleaning our dishes with some nasty dish soap/toothpaste/shampoo combo.

I picked my last boyfriend up at the grocery store. Bing, bang, boom—some eggs, some bread, and a new dude. Sure, there was some out-of-store courting involved, but who would have thought you could actually meet nice guys at the grocery store? Or that guys even went to the grocery store? Not me…

We all want to go home for Easter, but sadly, it’s nearing the end of the school year, and so we’re more likely to be munching on terrible dining-hall food than we are on delicious hollow chocolate rabbits. Before you get depressed about all the candy (oh yeah….and love) you’re missing back home, try bringing the Easter spirit into your own home. No, I’m not talking about Jesus. I’m talking about an Easter bash.

Dear Library People, SHUT UP. Holy crap. If you are talking on your cell phone, or talking really loudly to your best friend, for the love of God, just stop.

Let me just start out by saying that I’m not someone to be admired. I didn’t give up something agonizing for Lent, like chocolate or looove. But I did give up something that’s every bit as valuable to me: baking.
