Once you’ve hit your sophomore or junior year of college and have decided to ditch the meal plan, you’ll need to buy your own food to stock the fridge. I don’t know how to cook many things, mainly because when it comes to food, I don’t have the patience to sit around waiting for it.

I know that many other college students are in the same annoying predicament — sick of dining hall food, but too lazy to actually cook. Therefore, I can guarantee that all of us, in our attempt to adult, will live off of the same 10 or so items.

1. Frozen chicken strips

What would any of us do without these, honestly? You can easily nuke them in the microwave, and they taste amazing.

2. Slightly burnt quesadillas

We probably got sidetracked and forgot to flip it over, so we'll have to accept the fact that it's a little burnt.

3. Microwaveable Ricearoni

It's easy, and it almost tastes like a gourmet meal. What more could you want?

4. Eggs in any form

We're always trying to justify eating eggs for every meal by saying, "I ate them two different ways! Scrambled and fried!"

5. Salads with whatever random produce you have

I don't even know what the actual definition of a salad is. But if it has lettuce it counts, right?

6. Boxed macaroni and cheese

Even if it's just boxed, it totally makes you feel like a chef to whip up some of this cheesy goodness.

7. Green smoothies

You wanna know how healthy I feel when I blend spinach and frozen fruit and drink it? Very.

8. Oatmeal

Sometimes it's boring, but it's easy. And you can always add any fruit to it that you need to get rid of.

9. Ramon noodles with a kick

Wanna spice up some cheap noodles? Just add hot sauce!

10. Frozen pizza

As long as, it's thin crust it's good for you, right?

If you can relate to living off of these foods, you're not alone. Someday we'll figure it out. But meanwhile, I'll be filling my tortillas with random vegetables and chowing down.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.
