Personal Narrative: Rice Krispy

That morning I was so happy and filled with excitement. I came into school and everyone was happy to see me. Even people I barely knew were happy to greet me with a sincere birthday congratulations. It was awesome because I had so many new friends and all of us were joyful on that day.

time we got a big plate of ice cream for my birthday. It was so entertaining there

I am a self-proclaimed chocoholic. Seeing that I adore all things chocolate, it is no surprise that my favorite Tootsie Pop flavor is chocolate. Whenever I tear off the wrapper of a chocolate Tootsie Pop, I am thrilled. They are delicious. I enjoy chocolate Tootsie Pops because they are, well, chocolate. Tootsie Pops do a wonderful job of making their products taste like chocolate. Coupled with the creamy Tootsie center, chocolate Tootsie Pops are a chocolate lover’s dream. Therefore, chocolate Tootsie Pops are my favorite

“YAY! I finally graduated! Villanova University Class of 2015!” “Now it’s time to enjoy a meal with the family.” These were words that I said the day of my graduation in May of this past year. I am sitting here now reminiscing on this very important day in my life. All this nostalgia is getting me hungry, so I decided to take a trip to the Cheesecake Factory to re-live the experience. From the outside, the Cheesecake Factory looked like a big castle; the inside was huge. The lighting was really pretty, especially at night. They have a nice cheesecake display that could be admired as soon as one enters the restaurant. I could smell the rich, decadent cheesecakes. The seating is either tables or booths. The restaurant was very inviting. The

When hubby was deployed I loved finding new treats and items to include outside of his normal requests. I know that many military spouses are on the lookout too and so the AW101 team is excited to share treats and product recommendations from some of our favorite brands.

I weighed out 150 milliliters of potassium chlorate and presented it to my partner. She looked as frightened as the Disney corporation when Miley Cyrus performed her song "Party in the USA". "Christy... I..I.." she stuttered. "You'll do fine." I interrupted. We were being directly watched by a group of fifteen people and indirectly by a group of twenty-five. She wanted me to light the Bunsen burner, but my good thumb was jammed because of volleyball tryouts from the previous week. Instead, I offered her a smile stuffed with motivation and reassurance. Luckily, she took it and used it as energy to complete our experiment. She ignited the Bunsen burner while I scooped the crystalline solid in a tube and fixed the tube over a flame. We awaited for the potassium chlorate to liquefy and

Take two large eggs and the measuring cup and crack the first one into it. It is crucial to crack eggs in a separate bowl before adding them to the other ingredients, because if the egg happened to be rotten, it would ruin your entire batter, and unfortunately I speak from experience. For the second egg, separate the yolk from the whites and add both the yolk and the first egg to the empty mixing bowl. Once the butter has completely cooled, pour it in with the other wet ingredients along with 1 cup of brown sugar and 1 cup of white sugar. Mix

My name is Amy and I grew up in Los Angeles. I have been fortunate enough to be exposed to so many different types of foods. Having such wonderful exposure and a willingness to try anything, I find myself always gravitating back to Mexican food. The way its prepared, the wonderful flavors, the variety always seems to provide a delightful experience when eating.

I believe a great way to people’s hearts are through warm chocolate chip cookies. Since I was a young girl, walking in the house and smelling cookies in the oven always made my day. You could also bond with loved ones baking them together, my favorite part used to be licking the bowl. If you follow this recipe, you will have a great time bonding with your family or welcoming someone home.

With a plastic smile on my face, I take a deep breath and wait until the next “ding” urges me to muster up my “favorite” phrase for the millionth time today. “Hi, how are you?” I welcome the next customer, trying to sound as sincere as possible. Similar to my situation, many high school students are pushed to join the work world by parents and peers. For most teens, the fast-food industry seems to be one of the most common job choices. In the fast-food industry, companies are desperate to find employees willing to work for minimum wage. However, many employers do not realize the conflicts that may arise amongst these young people. Taco Bell is a fast-food franchise that works alongside KFC and Pizza Hut. What was once a small drive-in in 1954 has now become a gigantic fast-food chain with over 6,000

The first place Kendall and I went to was the cafeteria. Most of the food was plain and had absolutely no taste. But after sneaking our way into the kitchen, we found a plate full of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies.

At my 10th birthday my parents organized a big, cheerful party and I invited all my friends, about seventeen children. My mother cooked many cupcakes, cookies with my and my friends' names. Table was laid and covered with delicious and tasty sweets. In the center there was a huge, yummy cake with fruits, chocolate and nuts. I remember the taste of that cake till now. The cake had four layers, inside each two there were different fruits covered with chocolate cream and jelly.

I learned about Rice through a mailing flyer, well my mom did at least. I remember coming home, my mom holding the fly​er in hand, as I shimmied my way in the door, and her pleading, "This is your school". The flyer wasn't very information based, merely similar to a postcard but it evoked a sensational feeling. Later that day I explored the website to find information on: the academic programs, on-campus living, the track and field program, and the many opportunities Rice has to offer. I was already motivated to apply from what I learned through the website and flyers, but then I also visited on Discovering Rice Day in September and I was consumed. Living a day as a Rice student, or at least a portion of one, was eye opening, the classes are

America’s gift to my generation is the Kit-Kat bar. I know it may sound silly, but America needs a little bit of chocolatey goodness. Who doesn't love a bit of heaven stuffed in a nice and sweet quaint little bar.

My most memorable childhood event was when I was 15 years old. It was the Fourth of July. A big family vacation a barbeque, over night stay and out of town trip to six flags, and I had a blast the night before me, my mom, sisters and brother packed our bags to stay the night over my cousin house in Goodlettsville ,Tennessee. She had the biggest house ever I thought it was a mansion; six bedrooms two an half bath, a swimming pool, a game/movie room with a nice big kitchen. It was something that I was not use, knowing that we stayed in a three bedroom based on an income apartment on the East side of Nashville.
