Making food is such a big struggle in college, and especially if you live off campus. There is so little time in the day between classes, clubs and activities. Knowing me sometimes I just don't want to settle for the Commons or Table Rock on campus. Here is a list of quick and tasty foods that you can whip up very fast you feel like a Food Network pro.

1. Grilled Cheese

A grilled cheese does not get the credit that it deserves. Even tho some may say it's a bland tasting sandwich I beg to differ. It all goes in what you put in your grilled cheese, there are so many types of grilled cheese. There is just the standard bread, cheese, and some butter. If you want to get fancy you can make one with some tomato or even bacon. Switching up what type of cheese you use can also make something tastier, so instead of American cheese use cheddar instead. If you're an avocado fan that can really add a twist of flavor.


2.Lo Mein

Whipping this dish up does not take long at all. If you think about it, you are boiling spaghetti, which at minimum takes around eight minutes to cook. Lo Mein is also the type of dish where you get to decide what you want in it. What kind of vegetables would you put and the type of meat you would put ( if you eat meat). If you are really pressed for time, you can use instant ramen. Cook all the chicken and veggies that you may want, and add that to the ramen, and season it with peppers and soy sauce.


3. Salad Wraps

Salad wraps can be done under 10 minutes depending on if you decide you want to use chicken. Salad wraps are basically a salad but clothed in a wrap. Many recipes will say to use a flour tortilla, but if you are like me and absolutely suck at folding wraps. There are these pocket thins, where I just stuffed my lettuce tomatoes, cheese etc right into them.


4. Snack Mix

This is can be when you want something really quick or it's that time where there isn't really anything in your house or dorm room except for miscellaneous items. So snack mix you can put anything you want generally if you had so type of wheat cereal, pretzels, M and Ms, almonds etc. You can put those together and make basically your own trail mix. Perfect when you are having a movie night.


5. Mac and Cheese

Step away from the microwavable mac and cheese! Stove top mac and cheese my take a little more time than the microwavable mac and cheese, but stove top is going to taste much richer (and is still very fast to make). Just boil the pasta of your choice, while the pasta is boiling mix flour and milk, then cheese until smooth. Next just add the sauce to the pasta, and boom you are down. If you want a little more flavor you can add pepper to the mix or you can even sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top of it.

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.
