In college, it can seem hard to find time and energy to cook a meal instead of going to the nearest fast food restaurant or pulling out a microwave meal. Cooking requires time in order to prepare meals and enough energy to properly cook and create a tasty dinner. Many students find it hard to learn how to cook especially with the lack of time they have to look up recipes and actually cook the meal so its healthy to eat. Here are some awesome benefits you will gain if you decide to cook rather than eat out or heat up mac and cheese for the 5th time.

Cooking your own meals at home will help you be healthier.

By cooking at home, you can ensure that you eat right and prepare only meals that are good for you. You can learn to bake chicken and fish and occasionally spurge on a burger made by yours truly. Picking out healthy choices at the grocery store is the first step in achieving your healthy lifestyle.

It will save you money.

Cooking at home will save you SO much money because instead of spending $10 for stopping and getting fast food, you can get a whole bag of chicken for less than that which will last a week or longer.

Learning to cook your own meal will prepare you one day for preparing meals for your future family.

If you decide to get married and have children later in life, you will have to cook for them to make sure they survive. By getting a head start by learning to cook in college, you will learn how to make yummy meals that you can serve anyone later in life.

Cooking is sexy.

Boy or girl, if you can cook in college, you are hot stuff. If you can prepare a meal that is tasty and aesthetically pleasing you might get proposed to next week.

You are learning to be responsible.

Sooner or later you will learn how to properly prepare different meats and vegetables and even know how long things go out of date. What may seem simple can actually be somewhat complicated and without practice, you will never know your way around the kitchen.

Cooking at home has TONS of benefits so do not be scared to go out of your comfort zone and whip up something for yourself, your friends, and even your family. Cooking is for everyone and is only beneficial!
