11 Food Items I Have In My Dorm Room And You Probably Do Too

Turns out it's not "Skinny Pop" if you eat the entire bag in one sitting... Who knew?

College is a very interesting time. You're out of the house and probably without access to a kitchen. Thanks to the 24-hour CVS next to campus and a complete lack of self control, I have quite the assortment of less than healthy snacks in my room. Needless to say, my snack drawer is filled with enough preservatives that this stuff will be good until at least graduation.

1. Valentine's chocolates I bought on clearance at CVS on February 15th my adorable boyfriend got me.

Isn't he the greatest?

2. One lone granola bar.

My first semester, I lived on granola bars. I'm not kidding; my room actually was the Nature Valley. All I have to say on this matter now is that crumbs became my third roommate.

3. A can of Pringles with literally one Pringle in it.

RIP.

4. A bag of Cheez-Its.

Do not let the re-sealable container fool you:at this point this bag contains zero Cheez-Its and is actually a sad container of orange dust which you will attempt to eat anyways.

5. Coffee Pods.

Not really a food, but vital for survival, so I thought they deserved a spot on this list. DISCLAIMER: please do not eat these pods.

6. Oatmeal.

I'm going to be honest; I saw pumpkin spice flavored oatmeal packets on sale the other day at Target and COULD NOT BE TAMED. I looked like I was at Best Buy during Black Friday, but instead of my car being filled with half-price electronics and the blood of whoever got in my way, it was filled with instant oatmeal.

7. Grapes.

Okay, okay, "wine."


8. Peanut butter.

At home, it's just a topping for your sandwich. In college, it's a way of life.

9. Popcorn.

Turns out it's not "Skinny Pop" if you eat the entire bag in one sitting... Who knew?

10. Cheese Sticks.

Actually just the empty package in the fridge. These things are the dorm food equivalent of gold. The pack of eight was legitimately gone in a single day. No cheese was safe.

11. Ramen Noodles.

These came in a care package from my high school during my first semester. I have neither the stove nor the willpower to make this expired block of sodium, but having Ramen in my dorm room does make me feel ~so college~

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
