Chicken So Easy A College Student Can Do It
Yellow Bliss Road

Every time I cook a meal for my friends, they always seem so in awe that I am able to cook such an "extravagant" meal for them - like it blows them away that my oven actually turns on or something. I've tried my best to explain to them that their ovens, too, work just like mine does, but I thought that I would share this knowledge with the rest of the world in an extremely easy dish that is so easy even a college student can do it.

So the first thing you're going to need to do is make sure that you have a glass baking dish, a sandwich baggie, a fork and a knife for eating, a plate to eat your food on, and then the other things like some chicken breasts, some italian salad dressing, and salt and pepper. Once you have these things, please proceed to the next paragraph.

So in order to have really tender and moist chicken, you're going to need to be prepared to cook at least two hours before dinner time. I know - that's really hard for busy college students, but even if you start your marinating in the morning before classes or the night before, you'll be fine.

Take your chicken breasts and stab them with a fork. This tenderizes your meat and also puts little holes in them that are good. The more holes the better.

Now put the chicken breasts (I literally do not care how many) in a sandwich bag (or a freezer bag if you have too many for a sandwich bag. Or two sandwich bags. You decide) and fill the bag with the italian dressing so that the chicken is all covered. Then put the baggie of chicken in the fridge (DONT LEAVE IT OUT chicken is meat and will go bad) and leave it in there for 1 hour - 24 hours, whatever your time allows for.

Whenever you're ready to cook, preheat your oven 400 degrees. Take your chicken out of their baggies and put them in the glass baking dish. I like to sprinkle some salt and pepper on both sides to add some flavor, but that's up to you. Then put the chicken in the oven for about 20-30 minutes, or when the chicken is no longer pink in the middle.

Take the chicken out of the oven and eat it.

WOW YOURE DONE ISNT THAT GREAT LOOK AT YOU BEING AN ADULT YOU'RE SO WELCOME NOW PLEASE STOP COMPLIMENTING ME ON MY COOKING WHEN A MONKEY CAN LITERALLY DO THIS

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.
