I would say that this is my first valid “hump day” of 2015 now that I’m in classes, but we had Monday off, so I’ve only been in class for one day, so it’s not really the middle of the work week.
Anyway, happy Wednesday to you!
The first day of classes went very well for me yesterday, especially since it started with this:
eggs + whole wheat French toast with peanut butter and banana + glass o’ milk
My first class at 9:30 AM was a freshmen writing seminar specifically for students in the Sargent College of Health and Rehab Sciences. It involves reading some fascinating books and (obviously) writing and discussing about them, so I’m excited for it!
Immediately after that was my Intro to Linguistics lecture, which was also intriguing. Language has always been a topic of interest for me, and hopefully I can apply some of the things I learn in the course to my blogging, or at least notice language patterns in casual blogs like my own.
I went to daily Mass at the Catholic center before heading to lunch with friends, where we argued about bacon and Canada. (My side: Bacon is not my favorite; I prefer Canadian bacon.)
salad with a million beets + sautéed chicken and mushrooms with rice + unpictured apple
My quads were mighty sore from Monday’s workout, so I took a rest day with lots of walking…and standing apparently.
I was studying with Rachel, and I spent a good portion of my time reading while standing. She knows that my butt can only handle so much sitting.
Dinner was delicious— a roast beef, pepperjack cheese, lettuce, tomato, veggie, and hummus sandwich on whole wheat bread + vegetable and chicken sausage soup (only half because it was saltayyy).
For dessert, Rachel and I visited Albert’s dorm room. Tapioca pudding, anyone?
The three of us agreed that this was one of our favorite childhood snacks, so Albert picked up a four-pack and shared with us. Creamy, sweet goodness.
It was nostalgia in a plastic cup. Come to think of it, I kind of miss some of my other favorite childhood snacks and treats now. Some of them included:
- Pillsbury crescent rolls
- Jell-O cups
- Go-Gurt
- “Uncrustables”
- Chinese egg tarts
- Costco very berry smoothies
- Cheez-Its
- Ritz Cheese and Crackers Snack Packs
- Welch’s fruit snacks
Those red sticks to spread the mystery cheese… And then eating all the cheese, even if there were no crackers left.
I’m joining Jenn’s web-wide food party today!
So tell me:
What were some of your favorite childhood snacks and treats?
Do you like tapioca pudding?
Daily Moves and Grooves 
First of all, you are not the only one who can’t sit for too long. I study the same way. Hahah. My butt does not like sitting.
Let’s see, my favorite childhood snacks were Cheez-It’s, blueberry frosted Poptarts, Recees Puffs cereal (dry), and my mom’s chocolate chip cookies. I have never tried tapioca pudding, so I actually don’t know if I like it or not.
Happy Hump Day!
Mmm, Reese’s puffs cereal. I still remember the commercials for that stuff. If you had that cereal, you were a cool kid. 😉
Confession: I don’t think I’ve ever had tapioca pudding. It -looks- amazingly creamy and delicious, but there was always something about it that I didn’t associate with… err… food? 😆 I dunno. Chocolate or butterscotch pudding, on the other hand — totally all over that. And Teddy Grahams. And gummy candies. And chocolate chip cookies. And Poptarts. And Ritz. Aaaaaaand Dunkaroos! And probably so many more 🙂
Oh I totally understand. I feel like tapioca pudding just seems a little unsettling if you haven’t had it from a young age.
Ah yes! Teddy Grahams were also a favorite. I think I loved playing with them just as much as I liked eating them 😉
Great post! I always am that person standing at work – I get so sore in my butt and my back from too much sitting!! No thank you! My favorite childhood snack was definitely the fruit roll up…tangy sweet goodoness!! =)

You understand the sitting issue!
Ahh fruit roll-ups were the bomb! As were fruit by the foot 🙂
I love talking nostalgic snacks! I loved Sunkist fruit snacks, colored Goldfish, Oreos and milk (classic), Pop-Tarts (chocolate fudge… and brown sugar cinnamon… and strawberry), peanut butter and crackers/apples/spoons (some things never change), and big bowls of cereal (I had a thing for Oatmeal Crisp Raisin). And now I want all of those things 😉
Wait what is this Oatmeal Crisp Raisin cereal you speak of? I think I’d love that so much NOW.
It’s this: http://www.amazon.com/Oatmeal-Cereal-Hearty-Raisin-18-Ounce/dp/B001M1Z1IW. Now that I think about it, I haven’t seen it in stores for a while, but I LOVE IT. It’s a bit sweet and crunchy and so satisfying.
I ate a mix of Raisin Bran and granola tonight, so that seems pretty close to the Oatmeal Raisin Crisp 🙂
There aren’t many foods I’m picky about but… TAPIOCA PUDDING IS ONE OF THEM. (And raw onions)
Good Lord, that lumpy texture makes me pukey.
I ate a lot of the same childhood snacks as you. I’d like to add Dunkaroos, Gushers & Fruit by the Foot to that list.
And brown bananas?? 😉 I hate raw onions too though.
Gusherssss. Delicious mystery substance at its finest.
O those mysterious cheese and cracker snacks were my jam!!! Please don’t tell me what they are made of🙈
I was a big fig newton, goldfish, Entenmann chocolate chip cookie, pudding, mini coffee cake fan!
Diet of a champ huh?!
Lol
And I love tapioca pudding!!
Have a happy hump day lady!😘
Ah fig newtons were so good! I like those organic ones from Costco still. Mm I want some now.
Hope you’re having a great day, Katie!
Your blog makes me miss college, looks like you’re having fun! I have never had tapioca pudding, I’m more of a chocolate girl haha. I nominated you for a Sisterhood of the World Bloggers award, check out my blog if you’d like to participate!
Aw thanks, Danielle! 🙂
I loved all the snacks the moms brought after I played soccer or basketball games like Ritz Bits, Gatorade, and fruit snacks 🙂
Ah yes, snacks after sports were the BEST. The kids’ post-workout fuel 😉
I used to think tapioca pudding was punishment growing up….Then I had tapioca pearls in a bubble tea and fell in love! Growing up, I loved all things salty like shapes (you guys totally don’t have it and they are epic) and also pizza. Yes. I used to eat a whole pizza as a snack.
I actually liked tapioca pudding but HATED the huge tapioca pearls in bubble tea. I still think they’re just okay…It’s weird.
Ohh that reminds me that microwave personal pizzas were absolutely a thing for me. Frozen in plastic bags and all.
I loved all the snacks the moms brought after I played soccer or basketball games! Ritz Bits, Gatorade, and fruit snacks were my favorites 🙂
Hahaha my favorites were Hostess things like ho-hos and those cupcake things!
Ooo that reminds me of Twinkies!
I’m always the last person to sit when the bell rings because I can’t sit still for a long time either! We are on the same page with childhood snackage. Seriously, when can we meet in real life and become best friends?
Oh my goodness, that was SO me in high school. COME TO BOSTON PLEASE!
Ritz Cheese + Crackers were my FAVORITE childhood snack. My sister and I would fight over the last package in the box. We also ate the little ‘breadstick’ ones 🙂 Cheez-It’s were another good one. I would say that Dunka-Roo’s were a favorite but my mom never bought them for us 😦 I only enjoyed them on occasion at a friends house.
Ah yes, I cannot forget the little breadsticks too! I never had Dunkaroos, but they sound mighty fun to eat.
They were little cookies that you dipped in this chocolate or confetti icing. SO SO good!! I think they may still sell them? I think they are really overpriced/heavily processed/high calorie though 😦
