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

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
