For anyone who knows me, I love food and I'm always hungry. Sooooo, of course, my first article is going to involve food!

Now, we all know the caf food can get a little boring. Who am I kidding, I mean A LOT boring. Here are some ways to amp up the cafeteria food just a tad:


1. BUFFALO CHICKEN DIP

Now, let's be real here....everyone loves buffalo chicken dip. As we would say in high school, "Buff Chix Dip." Thinking of this hack has saved my life, considering this is my go to snack at home. Now I want to eat this every meal, even breakfast. Judge me, I do not care. This hack literally only takes about four to five ingredients to make!!!

1. Get a grilled chicken from the grill. Make sure you have a smile on your face if Tom is working. P.S. - If you want to make a big bowl for you and your friends, you're going to need a lot more than one piece of chicken.

2. Shredded Cheese

3. Ranch dressing OR sour cream (if they have it).

4. Hot sauce; obviously if you like a little more spice in your life add more

5. Pop it in the microwave, and enjoy!

2. ROOT BEER FLOAT

You may not be able to get beer in the caf, but you can have root beer! And why not make it a float? This obviously involves root beer and ice cream, and if you don't like ice cream, are you really human? But seriously, the new ice cream in the caf is to die for and why not make it 100x better. All you need to do is scoop vanilla ice cream (which I recommend) into a cup and then add root beer. And there you have it folks, a classic root beer float.

3. LOADED FRIES

Potatoes are the best thing that has ever happened to me, especially fries. Loaded fries are definitely the way to go if you're simply just sick of the regular fries. This hack involves, fries, bacon, and shredded cheese. Bacon is everyone's weakness, just admit it. All you need is a bowl of everything stated above and just simply pop it in the microwave until the cheese melts. And for dipping options, RANCH DRESSING!!! Use ranch, because ranch is the answer to everything.

4. DONUT ICE CREAM SANDWICH


This hack will legitimately change your life for the better. Who doesn't enjoy ice cream and who doesn't enjoy donuts? Why not put them together?! All you need to do is grab a donut, split it in half and add your favorite ice cream flavor in the middle. Now that's the taste of heaven.

P.S. - You can obviously do this with the cookies too.

5. CHEESY ROLL UP

Put shredded cheese in a soup cup (you can ask for the sliced cheese too). Go up to the person at the sandwich station and ask if they can put the cheese in a wrap and put it in the Panini press. And there you have it, a copy cat of Taco Bells "Cheesy Roll Up."

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
