9 Things You Can Do Right This Second

  Hey hey.
   Bored? I know. Check out this list of things you can do, right this second. (Hungry? Check out 6 Easy Snacks to Make Right This Second.)

•   Start a Tumblr account. I can literally spend hours just sitting here, reblogging all my favorite nonsense.
•    List your Old, Crappy Video Games on Half.com. I posted my old Super Mario Brothers for DS (I hear there’s plans for a 3DS version. Yeah, I’m that kind of girl now) a few hours ago, and it already sold. $20 in my pocket!
•     Start a Beauty Insiders Membership. Free birthday gift, and you don’t even have to spend anything. Case closed.
•    Make a Paper Crane Ceiling.
•    Find New Music. Totally digging iTunes Genius.
•    Save for retirement. Have I told you yet? Save 4 grand per year between the ages of 16 and 20, and you’ll have 2 million when your 65. True story. Google it.
•    Test All the Pens on your Desk. I threw out over half. Pretty bummed.
•    Bake Something. Well, try to. Most things you need to make a chocolate cake, you already have.
•   Find out who you share your birthday with. Google ”People Born on –insert birthdate–”, then the first source will probably be NNDB.com, which is the most reliable, hands down.

       Sound like a plan?

6 Snacks You Can Make Right This Second

Hey hey.

   I’m some lazy kid who hates standing up for more than 7 seconds. And now I’m hungry. Here’s what happens.
  I make a

•  Cheese Quesadilla. Grab a tortilla and pour on some shredded cheese. Nuke it for 15 seconds, and you’ve got a fantastic, braces-friendly snack.
•  Easy Nachos. Not to be confused with the quesadilla, put shredded cheese all over tortilla chips. Shove it in the microwave for a less-modest 45 seconds.
• Nutella Toast. Bread + Toaster + Nutella = Win.
• Peanut Butter & Banana Waffle Sandwich. I guess you could make an old-fashioned sandwich, but that’s usually for stiffs. But whatever. It’s your choice.
•  Oatmeal. I swear, I’m not “just putting this”. I eat Apples & Cinnamon oatmeal like every freaking day… I know, I’m pretty wild.
•  Chips & Bean Dip. Braces? Ditto; load the chip up with dip, and it’s easy to eat.
•  Hot Pudding. Add sprinkles, and oh my God, you’ll just freaking die, I swear.

           And if you want something to end it, drink up a Root Beer Float.

               Enjoy!
