The University of New Hampshire is known for having good food in their dining halls. I'm not going to deny that it is good, but after a while, it can get boring eating similar things all of the time.

Luckily, I've created this list of food hacks for when you feel like giving up on the dining hall!

1. Paninis

No need to wait for grilled cheese night! Make grilled cheese, or any toasted sandwich, by using the panini press.

2. Ice Cream Sandwich

When it is ice cream night at the dining halls, put a scoop of ice cream between two cookies to make an ice cream sandwich.

*Pro-tip: Roll the ice cream sandwich in chocolate chips, sprinkles or Oreo crumbles to make it ascetically pleasing like in the picture above!

3. Trail Mix

You can make trail mix by combining pretzels from the sandwich bar with dried fruit form the salad bar with chocolate and raisins from the ice cream toppings and whatever cereal you want. Customize it exactly the way you like!

4. Bagel Pizza

While they may be in different parts of the dining hall, there is almost always bagels, cheese, and sauce available. Microwave it and you have a mini pizza!

5. Warm Cookies

Who doesn't love a warm chocolate chip cookie? You can have them anytime you want if you warm them up using the microwaves in the dining halls.

6. Quesadilla

Combine veggies and cheese from the salad bar in a tortilla and put it in the panini press to make a quesadilla!

7. Sandwich & Salad Bars

Salad

I'm including these because I don't think many people realize that you can make your own sandwich and/or salad anytime.

8. Apple & Peanut Butter

Cut up an apple and add some peanut butter to your plate for a healthy snack or a protein-filled dessert.

*Pro-tip: You can do this with other fruits too!

9. Sparkling Juice

You can make sparkling juice by adding soda water to any of the juices!

Enjoy!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
