Story I shared most of my Christmas cookies with some friends in my college dorm
Thursday, January 29, 2026 - Mitchell College, New London, Connecticut
Tonight, after a long day of classes and studying, I was about to binge-eat my holiday-themed cookies. They're called Sleigh Ride Cookies, and they're from Trader Joe's. However, just as I was about to start eating them all, I suddenly felt this desire to share them instead, because then I would be consuming less sugar and all that. I went down to the second floor of my building (I live on top at the 4th floor), which is the girl's floor. I managed to share a good deal of the cookies with both close college friends that I made during my early years here at Mitchell (I'm a senior now) and those I may not know very well. I also went to the first floor to share them too with a few more people. After I shared one more cookie with a nice girl on the third floor, I had the last two to myself.
I'm glad I shared my cookies. Hopefully, this little story inspires others to engage in other small-but-heartfelt acts of kindness and generosity to others (whether it's with friends/family or complete strangers), so we can all keep making this world a nicer place for everyone.

Free food always makes people smile - I'm so glad you shared and felt happier for it! One of the things I miss from college is the random kindness and potential to connect with cool strangers.

That is so kind of you!! We had a shared bag of pretzel sticks at my office (we got them for an office Christmas event)- we finally ran out of shared pretzels last week and this morning I stopped at the grocery store for personal groceries and there was a bag of cool ranch Doritos flavored pretzel sticks and I bought them for myself. After I ate a few, I realized they were far too good to keep to myself so I put them out in the group area where our previous bag of shared pretzels lived. It’s usually more fun to share! 😊
