Banana-Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
My suitemates and I have been really into healthy eating lately, so a couple days ago, we decided to make a healthy dessert...banana-oatmeal chocolate chip cookies! At first these sounded pretty gross, because to be honest, I'm much more of a traditional chocolate chip cookie kind of girl. But my friend suggested we try them, so I thought, "why not?" She had all the ingredients, which were: bananas, oats, and chocolate chips. It was so easy to make. We mashed the bananas first, then slowly added the oats and chocolate chips. My friend had made this recipe so many times that she didn't even need a recipe, or measuring cups! We just eyed the amounts, and it turned out great! We formed the "dough" into balls, and then baked them for about 15 minutes. They turned out to be delicious, and you can barely even taste the banana! They are only 45 calories too! So I did not feel bad when I ate 3 cookies...So if you are ever in the mood for a healthy and sweet treat, these are perfect for you!

Don't Wait.
Another week has gone by, and as I look back on the past week: I think, "What have I accomplished?" One of my biggest problems is that I let the time pass by, and I don't always live my life to the fullest. A lot of times this is because I'm just lazy, but I also hate when it becomes the end of the day, and I still haven't done anything. If you let life pass you by, all of a sudden it will be too late to do the things you want to do. And I'm sure you have all heard this countless times before, but it really is important. What if you knew today was your last day? How would you spend it? And with whom would you spend it? Treat every day like it's your last one. And try new things every day! Another crucial thing is to surround yourself with people who support you, and who make you a better person. They are the people who will encourage you to pursue your dreams. And whenever you have a chance to experience new things, GO FOR IT! You never know when you'll have another chance to go for a hike, travel, or make someone happy. This is something that I constantly think about, and you all should too. One of my favorite quotes is, "Wake up an hour earlier, to live an hour more".
What do you hope to accomplish in your life? Don't wait! Take charge of your life, and don't let anyone else decide what can make you happy.
