6 Recipes You Need to get Through the School Week

In college, if your food consumption generally consists of cereal, pizza delivery and frozen meals you need to step it up. Sure those are very easy, accessible options but why not spice it up a bit. From hearty breakfasts to upscale pizzas, your college years don't have to be filled with mediocre cuisine. You deserve the best so feed yourself the best. Check out these recipes jam packed with REAL ingredients to keep your brain and body on fleek during your school week.

1. Mexican Breakfast Bowl

Wake up with this fiesta of a breakfast. You'll be filled up with necessary protein from quinoa and egg to last you through the day.


2. Chicken Parmesan Pizza Rolls

Don't get me wrong--I enjoy a nice box of pizza rolls as much of the next person. But, I didn't just get home off the school bus and this isn't my parent's house, SO, let's be adult about this. These fancy shmancy pizza rolls are where it's at!

3. Beef & Bean Chile Verde

Eating Well

Warm up this fall with a cozy and super yum chili. It's truly the perfect study companion.

4. Queso Dip Mac & Cheese

College game days just aren't complete without chips & dip. This one is the money maker! Queso and Mac & Cheese, seriously what more could you want in life?

5. Chicken Tenders

Food Network

Sure you could order greasy chicken tenders from the bar next door, or you could make your own that taste a heck of a lot better. Not to mention waaay more fresh. Perhaps some homemade curried ketchup on the side? Yes please.

6. Shrimp Scampi


Delish

Leann Chin and Healthy Choice pasta dishes are great and all, but how about we keep that microwave closed and make something even more delectable. Start boiling that water!


There you have it, folks. You are so welcome for providing you with such delicious ideas. College doesn't have to be boring old ramen and Easy Mac. You're better than that, I know it. Now get cookin'!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
