Congratulations! You are moving into your apartment to start another year of college! But what's that? You don't know how to cook?! Well, have no fear. These are the five easiest meals that even the worst cook can make in no time at all.

1. Easy Mac/Ramen

Possibly the easiest thing to make in an apartment when you're in a hurry. Just follow the instructions on the box or package and you're good to go.

2. An omelette

Not only a good source of protein, an omelette is also a fantastic way to eat lots of veggies. Scramble two eggs and put in a small pan. Let it cook flat then put cheese, bacon, and whatever else you want in there. Cover it with a lid and let it cook. When it's cooked, flip half of it so its folded in half. Let it cook a bit more then enjoy!

3. Pasta (and jarred sauce)

This is at the Ramen/Mac and Cheese level of difficulty. Just put some pasta in a pot of boiling water, wait until it's cooked, then drain the water. If you like sauce, open up a jar and dump it in a separate pan. Wait for the sauce to heat up then put it over the drained pasta. If you really want to be fancy, defrost some cut veggies or take some fresh ones and add them into the pasta. You could also add chicken for some protein. Put it on a plate and voila! You're done.

4. Salad

Making a salad just involves ripping up lettuce (or you could buy lettuce pre-ripped in a bag), dumping it into a bowl, and adding other veggies, chicken, cheese, and/or dressing to it. It's the easiest thing ever and super healthy to boot.

5. Take-Out Leftovers

If all else fails, just eat leftovers from another meal you made or take-out leftovers. Just A) make sure they're in fact your leftovers and B) make sure they haven't gone bad.

Happy eating and have a great year!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
