10 Essential Food Tips For Anyone Struggling Without A Meal Plan

To all the college students living on their own for the first time and didn't pay enough attention when their parents tried to teach them to cook. This one's for you.

1. Breakfast Bars

Giphy

Invest in a LARGE Costco pack. They're great for breakfast on the go, or a quick burst of energy to hold you between lunch and dinner.

2. Chunky Soup

Giphy

Normal chicken noodle or ramen leaves me hungry again in less than an hour. Instead, pick out heartier soups which are more filling and include vegetables in their brews.

3. Cheap Acai Bowls

Giphy

If you're on a budget but are still craving acai, skip the chic instagramable vegan cafe and take a walk over to you're local bodega. If they have a smoothie station, they'll probably be able to make you a cheaper, but still very filling, acai bowl.

4. Pre-made Rice Packets

Giphy

Buying single servings of pre-made rice are amazing for making quick dinners! I get the one's that come with quinoa mixed it.

5. Bring Your Soda

Giphy

On campus, a bottle of soda can cost anywhere from $2- $3. You can purchase a 12 pack at CVS for around $5. Do the math!

6. Reusable Water Bottles

Giphy

Not only is this purchase good for the environment but it also saves a ton of money. Plus there are typically filtered water filling stations all over campus.

7. Egg

Giphy

Boring but so versatile. You can make so many dishes with egg for breakfast, lunch or dinner and a dozen cost about $4.

8. Pasta

Giphy

Pasta is sooooooooooooo cheap. You can get a box for around $3 and it makes an entire week's worth of lunches.

9. Nutella

Giphy

Nutella is my happy food, sad food, celebration food and comfort food. It's just a must.

10. Spinach 

Giphy

Ewwwww vegetables, but lets be honest, we kinda need these nutrients. What I like about spinach is you can add it to almost any hot meal and it works. Throw it in you're pasta, sandwich, omelet or whatever to add some heath to your diet. I mean if it's good enough for Popeye it can't be all bad.

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

Yes, the math major is doing a math-related post. What are the odds? I'll have to calculate it later. Many people have probably learned about the Fibonacci sequence in their high school math classes. However, I thought I would just refresh everyone's memories and show how math can be beautiful and apply to physical things everywhere around us with stunning examples.
