Even though the food in the cafeteria isn't all too bad, it can get old sometimes.

When you reach the point where you don't want to go out, don't have the money, or just  want to satisfy your cravings from the comfort of your own room, here are some things you can make in your dorm!

Smear the yogurt-banana-peanut butter/Nutella mixture on half the pieces and use the other half to make banana sandwiches. Stick it in the freezer for at least a couple hours and enjoy!
