Pretty much every college student can relate to the struggle of being broke or limited on money. Those who are not on a meal plan have to limit their fundings when it comes to going to the grocery store. Not every trip to the grocery store has to break the bank. Here are ten easy and cheap options for all struggling college students.

1. Ramen noodles. 

Not the healthiest option, but it is definitely the cheapest option. When in doubt, go the cheap route.

2. Frozen pizzas.

When it is a regular pizza or pizza bites, you cannot go wrong with any frozen pizza form.

3. Chicken nuggets.

You can even channel your inner child and buy the dinosaur shaped nuggets.

4. Oatmeal.

My go-to breakfast of choice. It literally costs next to nothing.

5. Grilled cheese sandwich.

Bread and cheese, need I say more?

6. Anything in a can.

There are endless types of foods you can buy in a can. All it takes is a little creativity, and you can transform what ever is in that can into a three star meal.

7. Eggs.

There are so many ways you can cook eggs. Also, they are perfect for any meal and any time of day.

8. Leftovers.

Anything in the fridge is an option when you are desperate.

9. Granola bars.

Perfect for when you are rushing out the door trying to make it to your early morning class.

10. Peanut butter.

You can do anything with peanut butter. Make a sandwich, spread it on a cracker, or grab a spoon and eat it out of the jar, the options are endless.

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.

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.
