The 15 Snack Foods Chillin' In Every College Student's Mini Fridge, Ranked Worst To Best

Don't cry over spilled (or spoiled) milk.

In college, all we can afford (or have space in our dorm room to have) is a mini fridge. Although it's "mini," us college students have the magic power of shoving just as much into our mini fridge as your average person can fit into a deep freezer.

Out of all of this food we somehow fit into our mini-fridge, here's a list ranked from best to worst typical dorm room snacks.

15. Pint of milk

This usually spoils but it's fine, sometimes I use it for the off-brand cereal that I buy because name brand is too expensive.

14. String cheese

Fast, easy, but doesn't fill you up. Unless you eat like 8 of them at a time.

13. Eggs

I don't actually have anywhere to cook these.

12. Ice cream

The reason this is so low on the list is that it usually doesn't stay frozen in the tiny "freezer" department... so it's just gross.

11. Half empty Gatorade bottle

I bought this on my way home from that party Saturday night.

10. Carrots

Impulse buy.

9. Pudding cups

It's not that these things are loved, but we buy them because they're easy.

8. Fruit

We always buy this because we think we will eat it, but sometimes it sits in the fridge for quite a while...

7. Yogurt

We have this because it's "healthy," but you never know; you could find a yogurt that's a few months old in there.

6. Random sour cream/butter tub

Usually, grandma stores food in these tubs and sends them off to school with me. Typically it's a mystery tub.

5. Cold pizza

This is on a whole different level than any other leftovers.

4. Thursday night's leftovers

These always come in clutch after a night out, whether it's Chipotle or Taco Bell... it doesn't really make a difference.

3. Bottled water

Because we know that water keeps your skin nice and hydrated — which is basically our second highest priority next to getting at least a B on the political science exam.

2. Drink of choice

Most likely some alcoholic drink that 21-year-old girl you met at the gym and exchanged numbers with bought you, but who knows? Maybe it's juice.

1. Mom's Tupperware dinner

From best to worst, this is obviously number one. Anytime you go home, mom always sends you back with her lasagna or maybe even chicken noodle soup if you're lucky.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
