Who knew my sweet tooth could bear so much meaning in my life?

According to Walter Mischel and his marshmallow test, if I’m able to withstand the craving for a marshmallow placed in front of me, I’ll have a good social life and do well in school. If I eat it, well…

Since when are marshamallows clairvoyant? I wonder if there’s a chocolate test—I’d definitely fail that one.

Mischel is a Columbia University psychologist, which is nothing to sneeze at. I know his test has more to do with analyzing self-control and discipline, but I can’t get s’mores and hot cocoa off my mind now.

Imagine if schools start requiring the marshmallow test instead of the SATs or the ACTs? That, my college-bound friends, would be sweet.
