5 Easy Dorm Room Foods

With Thanksgiving behind us, and winter break ahead, finals are kicking in. I'm no college kid, but from what I've heard finals week isn't all that fun, and finding time to eat can even be a burden. I don't know about you, but I'm no good to anyone hungry, so I've come to the rescue with five super simple recipes that can be made right in a dorm room for all my finals cramming friends.

1. Microwave Mac and Cheese

Now I'm not talking easy mac or velveta, I'm talking good old fashion homemade mac and cheese. Don't be fooled, this recipe is so simple. If you have a mug, access to water, cheese, pasta, and a microwave you're set. Simply fill your mug with pasta and enough water to cover the noodles and microwave until the pasta is as you like. Then, simply add the cheese and microwave until cooked.

2. Mug Chocolate Chip Cookie

Who doesn't love a homemade chocolate chip cookie? No oven? No problem. Check out this super simple recipe for microwave cookies that are perfect for late night cram sessions. Check them out here!

3. Two Minute French Toast

Overslept after a late night studying? No time to hit the dining hall before class? This quick and easy french toast recipe will solve all your problems. A little bread, egg, milk, and cinnamon in a mug creates a delicious on the go breakfast. Get the full details right here.

4. Baked Potato

If you're sick of ramen and dining hall food, this baked potato might be just what you need. All you have to do is poke a few holes in the potato, then stick it in the microwave for 10 minutes on both sides. After that, it should be soft to the touch and ready to eat. Add a little cheese or sour cream to really make this potato a hit.

5. Mug Brownie

Brownies are my weakness. What better way to indulge than with a mug brownie? This may take a little bit more effort than the baked potato, but it is definitely worth it. If you're going to be studying like crazy, I absolutely recommend taking the time to make this delicious mug brownie.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
