We know when your creativity sparks… it’s usually around 3:37 am. Your next 6 hours of coding and cracking does not have time for you to seek out a speciality dessert on campus or create some elaborate concoction. When you clear your screensaver, you have no choice but indulging in what’s most convenient. Something left around your desk or under the couch when you roll out of bed must do.

Mathematics – Candy

We all knew you as a kid. You were probably the one counting all types of things and categorizing them. I bet you were finding the probability of red versus blue M&M’s, adding and subtracting your gummy bears, and measuring the amount of sour on the Sour Patch Watermelon in your packet compared to the next kid. It’s not shocking you’re a math major… hopefully you found a new candy capable of handling those tough derivatives and imaginary numbers. Find out what kind of candy you are here.

This major teaches you about the many facets of the health world and can lead to many career paths, proving it to be as versatile as your dessert choice.

You’re one of those kids who tracks growth over time and appreciates the beauty of cultures on a petri dish. Obviously, you are drawn to the dessert in a jar trend! From strawberry shortcake, key lime pie, buttery blondies, and all kinds of cupcakes, you see the structure and function of having delicious treats exist in jar form. It’s just so beautiful, you probably have issues about eating it.

You nailed the secret of calculating the perfect ratio of marshmallow to Rice Krispies. You know how to construct the ideal texture in every bite. You also never over melt the butter because you found the best temperature and time combination. Therefore, it’s no question you prefer these treats. Like your unbelievably challenging major, they are extremely dependent on the combination of precise calculations influencing their composition.

Psychology – S’mores

Are they sticky n’ rich or crunchy ‘n sweet? Is the texture better when localized from the cracker or the toasted marshmallow? You psychoanalyze most situations, but it’s this dessert that really gets you those wheels turning. S’mores… all those complex layers and contradicting textures that words and you can’t even describe.

International Studies – Macarons

You’re the cultured student. It might be a little too obvious sometimes, but who else is trilingual and lived a year in Spain? You refuse to be close-minded and that’s why you have an exciting major full of multiculturalism to match your vibrant and colorful personality. There is no question why you choose a dessert so sophisticated in its creation and diverse in the combination of flavors it offers. Make your own with this recipe.

English – Raspberry Cheesecake

You tend to be very temperamental and sensitive, which is all the better to channel when crafting your ideas, poems, and memoirs. This decadent diffusion of flavors and dichotomy of food groups captures all of your emotions and tends to put you into your happy place… which most always a contemplative one. Undoubtedly, you crave raspberry sauce swirled into a creamy white chocolate cheesecake to stimulate your creative juices.

Economics – Espresso with biscotti

How many cups of coffee does it take to power you through your day? After the three cups you’ve had by 2 pm, the caffeine rush to get the wheels of your mind turning may need a post-dinner pick me up.

Also, coffee, mocha, java anything is the only dessert flavor you even consider. No wonder you’re treating yourself to an espresso. Hopefully it helps you break into this night’s problem set or maybe it will be reserved for tomorrow’s case studies and balance sheets. You can make your own biscotti with this recipe.

Pre-Med – Ice Cream

Pre-med? Yeah, you’re always on the go. Actually, you really never stop. You probably have three schedules that always manage to be filled – one for your heavy course load deadlines, one with volunteering and extracurriculars, and then one more for the little free time you manage to tease out. There really is no other choice then ice cream as your on-the-go treat that alleviates your pain and can be safely sprinted with all over campus. As the day get longer and always harder, the justification for more hot fudge increases.
