After two weeks of officially living at college, I've discovered some snacks that are more important than others in dorm rooms, yet they are also the most underrated.

1. Granola or Breakfast Bars

When you're trying to get as much sleep as possible and you have a morning class, there's not much time to spare for breakfast. I have an 8:30 class every morning, and my granola bars save me from starving the whole morning.

2. Popcorn

If you have a microwave in your room, take full advantage of it and make some popcorn! With moving bonding nights or nights you get with friends to watch Bachelor in Paradise, popcorn will definitely come in handy. Also, if you have a bag of fresh popcorn while you're meeting other people in your building, you'll definitely make new friends. Who knew you could bond with people over popcorn?

3. Microwavable Mac 'n' Cheese

Same deal with the popcorn. You never know when you're going to get hungry at night and the dining hall seems miles away. It's also always nice to stay in for a night with your roommates and eat some good 'ol mac and cheese.

4. Candy

I don't know about you, but I get weird cravings where I just really want some Swedish Fish while sitting on my dorm bed. Stock up on your (and your roommates') favorite candies because maybe after a stressful day or a long night of homework, it's always relaxing to indulge a bit.

5. Fruit

Gotta get those vitamins some how! I personally eat a lot of fruit at home, and I wasn't used to not eating as much fruit in college, so I packed some tupperware and brought some back to my dorm from the dining hall. If there's a local farmer's market or grocery store nearby, go buy some fruit for the nights you want something sweet but healthy.

There are plenty more underrated snacks for your dorm room, but here are just a few of my favorites. Happy first week of college!
