Now to a lot of people they'll disagree with me because they think credit is great and made their life amazing but that's only because they have a credit score of 600 or higher. Now for us college students or people in debt and even those that never did anything to gain credit...we are screwed for any loans or wanting to finance for nice things like cars or furniture. Let me tell you why I think credit is useless and ruins lives.
1. Banks or loan companies think and make you feel like your $1,000 a month or more paycheck is worthless and don't go by your paycheck biweekly amount they go by your credit which in the long run is useless because it can go up or drop down over anything. With your paycheck you can guarantee monthly loan payments while your credit score just makes you allowed to pay with your paycheck...so why the long detour for denial of a loan when a bank already knows you can afford it?
2. Credit scores are never exact which means you could have amazing 600 credit score for 6 months and then BAM shoots down to 400 or lower if for some reason a loan isn't paid on time or you're in college debt etc.
3. It's just a number proving you pay bills on time for years and years and barely make any difference to that number unless you take out a credit card which you can't get unless you have credit in the first place so again whats the point of this triple digit number the world keeps throwing in our face for everything?!

Recipe #1 Chewy Sugar Cookies
I found a few recipe and altered them to be healthier and oddly tastier.
Ingredients:
2 sticks of butter softened (or margarine)
1.5 cups granulated sugar
1 egg
2 1/4 cup all purpose flour (I used wheat)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of sea salt
1 teaspoon of vanilla (I used maple syrup pure because I wanted maple sugar cookies)
1/2 cup of granulated sugar for rolling cookies.
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350ยบ F. Line cookie sheets with vegetable oil to prevent sticking. I preheat the oven after I'm done mixing ingredients so it doesn't get too hot in my house.
Cream together butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and mix until well-combined.
Stir in flour, baking powder, salt, and vanilla.
Scoop cookie dough by the tablespoon full and roll into a ball.
Add granulated sugar to a bowl for rolling cookie dough in before baking. Place each ball of cookie dough into the bowl of granulated sugar and roll to coat well. Place cookie dough onto baking sheet, spacing about 1½-inches to 2 inches apart. Lightly press each cookie down. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
I like to spice mine up by rolling some in cinnamon sugar for snicker-doodle cookies or even putting a Hersey kiss in the center for my chocolate cravings. Remember a sugar cookie can become an any cookie when you play around in the kitchen~

Amazing restaurants around the world for traveling foodies
For all you traveling foodies with enough money in your wallet here are 10 amazing restaurants from around the world!
1. El Celler de Can Roca in Girona, Spain
It's costly but I supposed to most Americans anything past $60 for a family of 4 is too expensive but nonetheless it' average is $180-$215.
2. Eleven Madison Park located in New York City
One of the fanciest and nicest wine and dines in New York City it's costly at $225 average but maybe it's worth your rent money?
3. Narisawa in Tokyo, Japan
I can say from personal preference this is a very nice restaurant I loved it here it's pricey but the food is so worth the $200 average.
4. White Rabbit in Moscow
I've only heard of this place but nothing actually about the food I'm sure it's good food of course most food from around the world is amazing and with an average cost of $100 I'd sure hope so.
5. Attica in Melbourne, Sweden
I've never heard of Sweden's food matter of fact I've never seen their food either but at $150 for average meals I hope it's good.
Part two coming up next week.

Strangest foods in the world (my stomach was limited)
And I thought my mom's cooking looked like an alien life form but these foods from around the world take the cake. America may have some strange eating habits but I think the world in a whole has a special taste for life.
Kangaroo Meat- That's depressing
Eskimo ice cream- Ice cream I'm glad isn't at Dairy Queen; made of berries, Seal oil, dead fish and Reindeer Fat.
Century Egg- Watch out Dinosaurs still are out there! Just kidding this egg was fermented in Saline solution to give it that magical look...don't eat it.
I'm terribly sorry but I don't think my mind or stomach can handle listing anymore they only get worse no respect to the people native to these delicacies but the worst thing I've eaten was chocolate covered Grasshoppers.
