Meet and greet over the perfect treat

As the holidays draw nearer and finals come to an end, people are finding more and more reasons to celebrate.


And nothing says "celebrate" like ice cream.


The ice cream social is the ultimate way to bring people together, and, best of all for the college student, requires no cooking.


I recently read about a university's College Republicans and Young Democrats throwing a political ice cream social, in hopes of easing the tension between the two groups.


What resulted was a gathering of students who found common ground long enough to eat a bowl of ice cream, and hopefully interact a little in between bites.

Love is in the air.

Throwing an ice cream social is incredibly simple. Follow these steps and you can't go wrong:

1. Buy a few large buckets from your local grocery store. If you're supplying a lot of toppings, no need to get fancy. Stick to the basics like vanilla, chocolate, mint and maybe strawberry.

2. Pick out some toppings. Always include nuts, a couple syrups and sprinkles. Nothing says fun like sprinkles.

Other dry topping could be your favorite candy bar or sliced fruit. Hot toppings should be stored in a crock pot, because they harden pretty fast.

3. Line up the goodies with some bowls and spoons. Don't forget to put cherries on the end.

4. Butt whoever is in line in front of you.

That's really all there is to it.

So whether your having an office Christmas party, an end of finals bash or a New Year's fiesta, come together over the cream.

Trust me, it's the best way to chillax.

Ice cream socials are also excellent fundraising tools - people must become more charitable towards their fellow man under the influence of frozen desserts.

In regards to your question re: God smiling upon a possible connection w/Matt Holiday: I believe the short answer is "no", mainly b/c of the wifey (Mrs. Holiday). She probably met him at an ice cream social.
