6 Simple Meals Any College Student Can Whip Up Themselves

At college, it can get pretty boring eating the same microwavable meals. I would love to make some extravagant meals but skills and tight budgets get in my way. Here are a few inexpensive meals you can actually make that are super simple and quick.

No-bake oatmeal cookies.

I love these things so much! I am not the best dessert maker in the world and have been making these flawlessly since middle school. They make for a great unhealthy quick late night snack when you and your roommate have a major sweet tooth. It also takes no more than 8 minutes.

Tuna salad.

This was my go to meal last semester when I needed something quick before work or wanted to go ahead and make something for lunch the next day, it is very simple to make and does not take many ingredients, therefore very affordable.

Pasta.

Pasta could be anything from macaroni and cheese, chicken Alfredo, or spaghetti. Whenever I felt like cooking last semester more than half the time it was spaghetti. It might have been because I had an overabundance of spaghetti noodles for some weird reason. Pastas are most of the time very simple to make and can be paired with a nice canned vegetable. You can also look up numerous different recipes to male with past if you are bored with the same average things.

Salad.

There are so many fun and great things to do with salad. Now a lot of people I know, hate salad, but if you do, you can make so many different ways. You can put all types of your favorite fruits or just make a classic one. It can be healthy for you and a great lunch to get you through the day.

Grilled Cheese.

This is a great kid's meal that can easily be vamped up by adding anything from a variety of cheese, bacon, tomato, or really anything you want.

Dip.

Such a great mid day snack or a late night one for cramming last minute homework or studying. My favorite kind of dip to make is Guacamole Dip. It's so delicious, fairly healthy, and is great with club crackers. Dip is also a fantastic thing you can make for parties or small friend gatherings.

No Sex And Upstate New York

A modern-day reincarnation of Carrie Bradshaw's classic column

Around the age of 12, when I was deciding whether or not to be gay, Satan appeared on my left shoulder. “Ramsssey,” he said with that telltale lisp. “Come over to our side. We have crazy partiessss.” He made a strong case, bouncing up and down on my shoulder with six-pack abs and form-fitting Calvin Kleins. An angel popped up on the other shoulder and was going to warn me about something, but Satan interrupted- “Shut up, you crusty-ass bitch!’ The angel was pretty crusty. She disappeared, and from that moment forward I was gay.

Senior Year Is Here And I Am So Not Ready For It

I was you not that long ago. I was once an eager freshman, a searching sophomore, and a know-it-all junior. Now? Now I am a risk taker. Not the type that gets you in trouble with your parents, but the type that changes your future. Senior year is exciting. A lot of awesome things come along with being the top-dog of the school, but you, right now, are building the foundation for the next 4 years that you will spend in high school. I know you've heard it all. "Get involved", "You'll regret not going to prom", "You're going to miss this". As redundant as these seem, they're true. Although I am just at the beginning of my senior year, I am realizing how many lasts I am encountering.

Why Driving Drives Me Crazy

the highways are home

With Halloween quickly approaching, I have been talking to coworkers about what scares us. There are always the obvious things like clowns, spiders, heights, etc. But me? There are a number things I don't like: trusting strangers, being yelled at, being in life or death situations, parallel parking. All of these are included when you get behind the wheel of a car.
