Healthy eats

10/2 - 9:48am

The box of 18 didn’t even have a chance with me, lasting a good 24 hours. let me put that in english, that’s just under 3/4th’s of a cookie–every hour. for 24 hours. I wasn’t even awake for all 24 of those hours. so it’s more like a cookie and a half–every hour. No help, no milk, no cookie monster under the bed. just, one college student… in a room–with a box of cookies staring him down every time he walked out. And calling him back in when he finished eating it on the couch–in front of the tv. Again, and again, and again. for 24 straight hours. That was 2,700 calories–just from cookies alone. in 24 hours. Not even paying attention to all the other bells and whistles I managed to put down. Breakfast? cookie. Snack? cookie. Thirsty? cookie. Bored? cookie. I won’t even mention that they were somewhat “stale-like” tasting–or, in fact… were stale. Cuz that would just ruin the entire story. But they didn’t even need milk, or re-warming. It was like… the greatest tasting bad. Kinda like how you’re reading this entire thing, when all i’ve talked about was my short lived experience with these cookies. I guess there’s things in life that we will never learn to understand. Things in us that can never be stopped. Some of these things are the things that aren’t a part of our plan. they exist on the outer barrier of our lives and intermittently come in and out. it goes na, na, na, na. instead of naaaa. More on this is what we do with what we fail to understand. We sit and ponder on them, laugh and swear at them, or cry and slam fists because of them… to name a few. College apps are difficult. Period. and there is no way around them. Personally, they are some of the worst times of fall–and walking home to a empty word doc is a horrible feeling. Sometimes you absolutely won’t know what to write, and most of the time you’ll end up deleting a whole paragraph… putting you further away from that magic number one-thousand. or is it twelve-hundred. whatever it is, hang in there. tight. pulling ideas out of your head to earn yourself a potential 4 more years is a wonderful disaster. If you found the connection between cookies and life, great. If not… i’m telling you–eighteen cookies. 24 hours. you’re not listenin’ man…

18 cookies. one 120 lb boy. 24 hours.

jeez.
stay hungry,
