A lot of people say they hit a depressive slump after the holidays, when the temperatures are cold and the nights are long. I hit a bigger slump after the Easter clearance at CVS is gone and I can no longer find a seasonal Reese\u2019s shape for six months.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m Natalie, a college student in the middle of nowhere New Hampshire. The closest Target store is two hours away and my parents are probably sick of me calling and asking for a package of [insert seasonal\/exclusive\/new product here]. I troll grocery store aisles in my spare time and drove to the Ben & Jerry\u2019s factory instead of attending my first orientation event. I placed a bid in that first auction for the Triple Double Oreo and started a campaign to bring back Green Apple Skittles after their first appearance in 2001 (We finally did it, America!) My taste buds are really into things with double-digit sugar contents and high fat dairy. Preferably both.<\/p>\n
In a class last year, I was tempted to suggest the rebirth of Oreo O\u2019s cereal as way to stimulate our nation\u2019s economy. At that point, I realized I probably needed another outlet for my food obsession if I wanted to graduate, and now you all are stuck reading my babble. Thank you for being the savior of my GPA.<\/p>\n
I am now on a mission to serve you in finding and tasting any new product that hits the shelves. I will search high and low through my rural New Hampshire wilderness, and then likely call someone in real civilization to mail it to me. But that\u2019s okay, cause it\u2019s my job now, so I have an excuse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
